Introduction High doses of ionizing radiation can lead to adverse health outcomes such as cancer induction in humans. Although the consequences are less evident at very low radiation doses, the associated risks are of societal importance. This study aimed at assessing entrance skin doses (ESDs) in patients undergoing selected diagnostic X-ray examinations at public hospitals of Akwa Ibom State,...

The problems of cardio-vascular surgery in infancy cannot be satisfactorily included in this short review, which will deal with thoracic diseases other than those of the heart and great vessels. The problems will be considered under five headings:I. Oesophageal atresia and stenosis. 2. Diaphragmatic hernia. 3. Mediastinal cysts and neoplasms. 4. Lung cysts and infections. 5.

the ribs are essential structures of the osseous thorax that provide certain significant information and aid interpretation of radiologic images in daily routine practice. intrathoracic rib is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually discovered incidentally, but may cause in vain interventions in case of being unaware. we herein report an intrathoracic rib in a girl whose chest x-ray was stran...

Abstract The spread of the corona virus in Indonesia is still growing until now. One important thing to note about handling patients exposed coronavirus. This study aims be able classify thorax x-ray images against infection based on Internet Things (IoT). IoT a concept internet connectivity that connected continuously between remote devices. uses supervised learning method, namely directed whi...

Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that typically occur within the dermis or subcutis of the subungual space. Primary glomus tumors of the thorax are exceedingly uncommon, thus standard-of-care management is lacking. In this report we describe the management of a patient presenting with a symptomatic glomus tumor of the posterior trachea, and provide a comprehensive review including all documente...

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare spindle cell neoplasms that typically occur in the thorax but have been described in various locations within the abdomen and head and neck region. The most common extrapleural site is the oral cavity, but these tumors have been also described in the orbit, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands, and larynx. We describe a case of a solitary fibrous tumo...
