A 34-year-old female presented with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated by peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) complained of a dry cough. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed massive right hydrothorax. Because the glucose concentration of pleural fluid was markedly high compared with that of serum, we performed isotope and contrast peritoneography. We used CT for localizing it...

Bilateral stress fractures of the ulna are extremely rare and have only been described in non-adults. In this case report we present a young adult weightlifter who reported bilateral stress fractures of both ulnae after increasing his training frequency and load. Stress fractures of the ulnae are examples of bone stress injuries due to repetitive muscle pull. The diagnosis can be made by radiog...

Non-otogenic cerebral abscess is becoming relatively more frequent compared with otogenic. It arises in a setting of sepsis, trauma, or congenital heart disease. The onset presents a meningo-encephalitic picture, often with two stages, followed by epilepsy and/or a hemiparesis. The best investigations are an EEG and, probably, an isotope scan. The angiogram may be misleading as 40% may not have...

Insufficiency fractures are a subtype of stress fractures which occur when normal or physiological stresses are placed on weakened bone. The main predisposing cause is osteoporosis. The clinical and radiological features of two elderly women with pelvic insufficiency fractures are described. Isotope bone scan is the most sensitive imaging modality for the detection of these fractures. Computed ...

Infection of the symphysis pubis is a rare condition accounting for less than 1% of cases of haematogenous osteomyelitis (McHenry et al., 1975). Pelvic surgery, trauma and drug abuse have been reported as predisposing causes. Pain and localized tenderness are the usual presenting complaints. (Busto et al., 1982). We report a case of osteomyelitis of the symphysis pubis in a patient with no pred...

Figure 1: Nuclear Medicine Study Number 1 is an anterior view of the liver after injection with technetium 99-M sulphur colloid. Number 2 is the same view with isotope markers for measurement purposes. Number 3 is a right lateral view. Number 4 is a posterior view, and Number 5 is a left lateral view. There is an extremely lar ge mass present in the region of the left lobe of the liver with a c...

introduction: mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. a variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. however, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, corona...

Rock powder of dolomite samples from the Renison mine area of Tasmania, Australia were analyzed by electron paramagnentic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), Atomic Absorption and Mass Spectrometer to identify alteration related to mineralisation. The least-altered dolomite samples, which are not effected by circulation of diagenetic and hydrothermal fluids are characterised by low Mn and Fe and ...

The relationship between QT dispersion and myocardial ischemia is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between QTd and the severity and extent of myocardial ischemia. In this cross-sectional study, 141 patients having symptoms of CAD who referred to our medical center during 2009-2010, and were examined with myocardial isotope scan and ECG, were enrolled. Bas...
