Segmental artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of spinal trauma. We present an unusual case of thoracic 11-12 segmental artery pseudoaneurysm caused by thoracal spine fracture. A 72-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department because of a car accident. Neurological examination revealed complete motor and sensorial deficiency below the level of T10. Direct x-ray of the thoracic...

A 20 year old Turkish man presented with a one year history of weight loss and epigastric pain. Pancreatitis was confirmed with hyperamylasaemia. CT scanning of the pancreas revealed a complex pseudo-cyst and ERCP demonstrated a pancreatic duct stricture. Hydatid disease was suggested on Ultrasound scan but serological tests were negative. After ERCP the patient deteriorated with sepsis and thi...

BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Computerized tomography (CT) scanning of the brain is essential for diagnostic screening of intracranial injuries in need of neurosurgical intervention, but may also provide information concerning patient prognosis and enable baseline risk stratification in clinical trials. Novel CT scoring systems have b...

Background and Importance: Inflammatory pseudotumors are benign tumors-like lesions of unknown cause. The most familiar sites for inflammatory pseudotumors are the orbit and respiratory tract. An inflammatory pseudo tumor of costo-vertebral junction is rare. Case Presentation: We presented here a 50-year-old male with two month history of progressive left cervico-brachial pain. The MRI&nb...

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless-equipped vehicles that form along the road. The security of this network has been a major challenge. identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) previously used to secure suffers from membership authentication features. This paper focuses on improving detection intruders in VANETs with modified (MIBC). MIBC is developed using non-singular elliptic curve Lag...

Quantitative whole-body PET/MR imaging is challenged by the lack of accurate and robust strategies for attenuation correction. In this work, a new pseudo-CT generation approach, referred to as sorted atlas pseudo-CT (SAP), is proposed for accurate extraction of bones and estimation of lung attenuation properties. This approach improves the Gaussian process regression (GPR) kernel proposed by Ho...

An ovoid of PG(3, q) can be defined as a set of q + 1 points with the property that every three points span a plane and at every point there is a unique tangent plane. In 2000 M. R. Brown ([5]) proved that if an ovoid of PG(3, q), q even, contains a pointed conic, then either q = 4 and the ovoid is an elliptic quadric, or q = 8 and the ovoid is a Tits ovoid. Generalising the definition of an ov...

Endoscopic botulinum toxin injection is considered a safe and viable option for the management of achalasia [1,2]. Although esophageal perforation and mediastinitis are well-documented complications of this treatment, pseudo-aneurysm formation of the thoracic aorta following intersphincteric injection is exceedingly rare [3]. We report the first published fatality from a thoracic aorta pseudo-a...
