BACKGROUND AND AIM: Dental anomalies are typically detected in radiographic screening. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the dental anomalies found in panoramic radiographs taken from the study population in Ardabil, Iran, in 2015-2016.METHODS: The present study was conducted on 1800 panoramic radiographs obtained from 799 men and 1001 women in the Radiology Departme...

Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the communication between renal arteries and veins. Renal AVFs are often asymptomatic but are occasionally accompanied by hematuria or heart failure. Transcatheter closure with embolization is a safe and effective treatment for renal AVF. We herein report an 87-year-old patient with heart failure due to renal AVF who was ...

We are presenting two cases of Sirenomelia (Mermaid Syndrome), which is an extreme example of the caudal regression syndrome. It invariably presents with lower limb fusion, sacral and pelvic bony anomalies, absent external genitalia, imperforate anus, and renal agenesis or dysgenesis. There are approximately 300 cases reported in the literature, 15% of which are associated with twinning, most o...

There has been a tremendous increase in the volume of Earth science data over the last decade from modern satellites, in-situ sensors and different climate models. All these datasets need to be co-analyzed to find interesting patterns or to search for extremes or outliers. Information extraction from such rich data sources using advanced data mining methodologies is a challenging task not only ...

Genitourinary tract tops the list of developmental anomalies – 30-40% of malformed individuals. These developmental anomalies comprise a diversity of abnormalities ranging from complete absence to aberrant location, orientation, shape, form, fusion, number and vascular attachments. Amongst these wide range of anomalies, fusion anomalies are not uncommon. Horseshoe kidney is the commonest fusion...

Various anomalies of the inferior venacava (IVC) have been reported in the past. Amongst, the absence of IVC is one of the less frequently reported anomalies. The absence can be complete or partial, confined to the hepatic, supra-renal or infra-renal segment of IVC. It is still a controversy, whether these conditions are true embryonic anomalies or the result of perinatal IVC thrombosis. A man ...

INTRODUCTION Horseshoe Kidneys are the most common renal fusion anomaly. When surgery is contemplated for renal-cell carcinoma in such kidneys, aberrant vasculature and isthmusectomy are the major issues to consider. We describe a case of a pure laparoscopic radical heminephrectomy with hand-sewn management of the isthmus for a 11 cm tumour in a horseshoe kidney. PRESENTATION A 47-year-old ma...

Agenesis of the lung is not an uncommon anomaly, and when it is an isolated finding, it is compatible with even normal life (Hochberg & Naclerio 1955; Netterville 1957; Van Loon & Diamond 1962; Shenoy 1979). Hundreds of cases were reported in the world literature (Oyama et al. 1953; Valle 1955; Booth & Berry 1967; Maltz & Nadas 1968; Borja et al. 1970). Various associated malformations are comm...

Introduction Nutcracker syndrome is a rare disease entity that is caused by entrapment of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery, usually due to abnormal branching of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta causing renal venous hypertension. The symptoms vary from asymptomatic hematuria to severe pelvic congestion. Celiacomes-enteric trunk anomaly is a rare v...

Anomaly detection is attractive for the analysis of hyperpectral imagery. This paper describes an expanded anomaly detection algorithm for small targets in hyperspectral imagery. As a variant of the well known multivariate anomaly detector called RX algorithm, the approach called the dimension reduction RX algorithm (DRRX) is proposed. The analytical fusion strategy is incorporated into the RX ...
