Diagnosis of Pneumothorax by Focused Assessment Sonography of Trauma(eFAST) and CT scan in Chest Trauma: Comparison of diagnostic accuracy
Abstract Aims and objectives: Pneumothorax is a common finding after trauma and with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from a concealed pneumothorax detectable only by a CT scan accidentally, to a potentially fatal tension pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can gradually progress to tension pneumothorax and become an emergency, consequently, a timely diagnosis is essential. Most traumatic patie...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Google Earth Image's Visual Interpretation Protocol to Determine Plant Ecological Units of the Semi-Steppe Regions
Extended Abstract Background and objectives: Google Earth images are a valuable resource for understanding and studying the natural area's ecology due to their high spatial resolution. Considering that these images have been available for many years, in our country, these valuable data have not been used enough, especially in order to study vegetation and optimal natural areas management. So, ...
متن کاملGeneralized lymph node activation after Influenza vaccination on 18F FDG-PET/CT imaging, an important pitfall in PET interpretation
We report on a 59-year-old female patient with an infected vascular graft investigated with 18F FDG-PET/CT. The first of two studies showed FDG activity in the left deltoid and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes explained by influenza vaccination the day prior. The second 18F FDG-PET/CT showed multiple FDG-avid lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm without tracer accumulation at the vaccinat...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Computer-Aided Detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Chest Radiographs: A Validation Study from Sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND Chest radiography to diagnose and screen for pulmonary tuberculosis has limitations, especially due to inter-reader variability. Automating the interpretation has the potential to overcome this drawback and to deliver objective and reproducible results. The CAD4TB software is a computer-aided detection system that has shown promising preliminary findings. Evaluation studies in differ...
متن کاملImpact of positive pressure ventilation on thoracostomy tube removal in traumatic patients who admitted in ICU
Introduction: Few studies is in literature related to evaluation of impact of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) on thoracostomy tube removal in Iran. We decided, in this study, to evaluate the impact of PPV on recurrent pneumothorax (PTX) after removal of thoracostomy tubes (TT). Methods: A case-control study was performed for evaluating 122 chest tubes in 109 mechanically ventilatedtrauma pa...
