In this study, lead sulfide (PbS) films were grown on Fluorine-doped TinOxide (FTO) glass substrate by thermal evaporation in a horizontal furnace toinvestigate carrier gas effect on structural, morphological, elemental, optical, electricaland photovoltaic properties of PbS. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed theformation of cubic polycrystalline PbS particles fo...

a 60-year-old patient with testicular seminoma was referred for f-18 fdg pet/ct study to evaluate recurrence. in addition to hypermetabolic cervical, mediastinal and hilar lymph node tumoral metastases, segmental intense fdg uptake along the lumbar spinal cord suggestive of tumoral metastasis was noted which quite an unusual presentation is.  at the time of pet study the patient was symptomless...

Giant hydronephrosis, which is a symptomless enlargement of the abdomen, is an extremely rare condition in adults, with most cases being discovered in young-to-middle-aged people. We report a case of adult giant hydronephrosis accompanied by renal insufficiency, in which surgical repair was not performed because of the patient's poor cardiac function.
