abstract primary cardiac tumors are rare in all ages. their reported prevalence ranges from 0.001 to 0.03 percent in autopsy series. 25 percent of primary cardiac tumors are considered to be malignant, the majority of which are sarcomas. on account of the late presentation of symptoms in malignant heart masses, finding locally infiltrative tumors or systemically widespread cases at initial pres...

a 64-year-old female with history of previous aortoiliac occlusion and aortoiliac bypass operation four months ago presented with dyspnea, ascites and leg edema. she has been suffering from bloody diarrhea since two weeks earlier. laboratory data showed important eosinophilia and stool examination was positive for strongyloides stercoralis. patient had clinical signs of heart failure. a cardiac...

conclusions due to the tendency of lv pseudoaneurysms to rupture, early surgical intervention is recommended. case presentation we report a very rare case of a 47-year-old woman presents with an atypical form of lv apical pseudoaneurysm confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri). introduction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an interesting clinical entity. the left ventricular (lv...

abstract patellar instability is a multifactorial common knee pathology that has a high recurrence rate, and the symptoms continue and ultimately predispose the patient to chondromalacia and osteoarthritis. tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (tttg) is very important in the assessment of patellofemoral joint instability. the purpose of this study was to report normal value of tttg in ma...

This article describes a Java-based Visual Information System (VIS) for the area of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The VIS integrates a number of image reconstruction algorithms, developed in our group for handling MRI with sparse sampling schemes. Keywords— Java, Visual Information System (VIS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), image reconstruction algorithms, sparse sampling.

ABSTRACTNeuroimaging allows noninvasive evaluation of the anatomy, physiology, and function of the brain. It is widely used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment evaluation of neurological disorders as well as understanding functions of the brain in health and disease. Neuroimaging modalities include X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emis...

Traumatic spinal epidural hematoma (TSEH) is a neurosurgical emergency which is considered as one of the rare causes of back pain. The onset of symptoms presentation can vary especially following a trauma. Here, we report a case where a young girl had a trivial fall and presented symptoms of back pain three days later. She developed abrupt onset of lower limb weakness during her stay in the eme...

hemangiomas of the sinonasal tract are rare, and because these lesions lack the typical signs or symptoms, they can be confused with other malignant conditions. we report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus in a 68-year-old man that was completely resected by endoscopic sinus surgery. although computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) showed several enhanci...

in an attempt to assess objectively the integrity of the auditory pathways in 30 patients with definite multiple sclerosis (ms), an audiometric evaluation was performed and auditory brainstem responses (abrs) were obtained. stressing the auditory system by increasing the stimulation rate showed some enhancement in the identification of ms. 24 (ro%) patients had an abnormal abr along with clinic...

background and aims. although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...
