<title>Abstract</title> Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on diaphragm muscle. Materials and methods A total 120 volunteers were divided into two groups: 60 healthy individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Both control group type 2 DM matched for thickness, diaphragmatic excursion, thickening fraction, costophrenic angle. All diabetic patients underwent electromyography assess possible neuropathy. These then subgroups based their peripheral...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy that occurs when median nerve compressed within carpal tunnel. Electromyography (EMG) accepted as frequently used and important diagnostic method for CTS. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has begun to be in CTS patients directly visualize examine changes occurring structure.

BACKGROUND:Toothpick ingestion is implicated in bowel injuries that may cause violent complications, mimicking diseases causing acute abdomen. CASE REPORT:A 18-year-old man was admitted with a 3-day history of swallowed wooden toothpick. The patient had tenderness the left flank area. Computed tomography indicated toothpick impaction at splenic flexura colon. It successfully removed colonoscopy. After procedure, abdominal radiography showed free air as sign perforation. Along conservative...

We report a case of 59-year-old woman with painful left breast mass, compatible types II-III hydatid cyst. Lesion was evaluated mammography, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging modalities. Magnetic had important diagnostic role demonstrating characteristic features the lesion capability showing complications. Surgery also confirmed diagnosis

Abstract Several ultrasound-based risk stratification systems (RSSs) have been developed and introduced into clinical practice for managing thyroid nodules. However, there are essential differences among these systems. This study aimed to determine compare the category-based diagnostic performance of four in detection cancer: ACR-TIRADS, ATA, K-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS. included 4238 nodules sampled by fine-needle aspiration biopsy between January 2018 December 2021. Nodules were classified...

Aneurysms of the gastroepiploic arteries are seen only rarely. They usually diagnosed during autopsy or laparotomy in patients with hemodynamic instability. Although operation to treat this condition is relatively easy, delay making diagnosis affects course disease.A 57-year-old woman was admitted emergency department abdominal pain and unconsciousness. A computed tomography scan showed extravasation contrast agent at headcorpus junction pancreas, patient underwent exploratory under general...

Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare developmental abnormality characterized by overinflation of one or more the pulmonary lobes. This disease presents as respiratory distress because ventilation perfusion mismatch result hyperinflated lung causing compression atelectasis on ipsilateral contralateral side with mediastinal shift. Surgical resection affected lobes indicated in both, unless symptoms resolve conservative therapy. Here, we present 40-day-old female child requiring right middle...

Background There are no publications in literature describing an association between disorders of the ligaments and tendons supporting foot arch osteochondral lesions talus (OCLT). We believe there may be a correlation damage these structures. Purpose To investigate pathologies main that support sprained ankles, by reviewing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies comparing results two groups patients, with without OCLT. Material Methods MR images from 316 patients examined orthopedic...

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal tumors. Adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy administered according to the patient's clinical characteristics.A 42-year-old female patient was operated treat a retroperitoneal mass. The diagnosis established as PEComa with benign behavior. Two years after diagnosis, chest and abdominal computed tomography scans showed intra-abdominal recurrence lymphangioleiomyomatosis in lung. Treatment everolimus started. disease...

We report a 1.5-year-old boy with refractory hyponatremia related to pituitary stalk transection, which is rare cause of after traumatic brain injury. The patient was referred our hospital hyponatremic convulsion 6 days head trauma. patient's laboratory findings were compatible syndrome inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). treated hypertonic saline infusion and the SIADH fluid restriction, but serum levels sodium did not increase. Acute post-traumatic hypopituitarism...

Objective: To identify the possible subcutaneous and peri/intraosseous injection risks with different needle lengths in adults using adrenaline autoinjectors (AAI) lengths. In addition, optimum lowest failure risk were determined for both genders. Materials Methods: Skin-to-muscle distance (STMD) skin-to-bone (STBD) measured under minimal maximum pressures at anterolateral aspect of thigh by ultrasound. Risks injection, total events calculated genders taking a 15.2 mm length as reference...
