introduction foreign body insertion is a common and important cause of pre-pubertal vaginal bleeding. case presentation we present a three-year-old girl who referred to our clinic with abnormal vaginal bleeding without any other symptoms. the primary assessment revealed a radio-opaque round solid mass in the pelvic cavity. following vaginoscopy, the button battery was finally removed under gene...

We report a case of a 40-year-old female with cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding who developed multiple pulmonary emboli after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for gastric variceal bleeding. The patient did not have any respiratory symptoms after the sclerotherapy. A chest radiograph obtained one day after the procedure for the evaluation of fever showed ...

BACKGROUND Interfraction prostate motion must be compensated by increased safety margins. If filling status of rectum and bladder is constant, motion should be reduced. We attempted to reduce interfraction motion errors by proper patient instruction. METHOD In 38 patients pairs of radio-opaque fiducial markers were implanted prior to definitive radiotherapy. Patients were positioned either ac...

We present the results of UV spectropolarimetry (λrest ≃ 2000 − 3000Å) and far-UV spectroscopy (λrest ≃ 1500 − 2000Å) of two low-redshift narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) taken with the Faint Object Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Spectropolarimetry of several NLRGs has shown that, by the presence of broad permitted lines in polarized flux spectrum, they have hidden qua...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Measurements of gastrointestinal transit are made in clinical and research gastroenterology, yet their intrinsic variability is not well characterised. In particular, an influence hormones on has been proposed as the basis for symptoms that vary with menstrual cycle. Our aims were to quantify individual differences during cycle healthy women compare these men. METHODS: On t...

background: in most of defecography films, the symphysis pubis is obscured, especially in obese patients, and the parameters will change in values if x-ray is interpreted by different reviewers or if the patient changes his/her position between the phases. this study was carried out to determine how to do the defecography to obtain fixed parameters. â  methods: eighty patients that had been can...

Delayed diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) aspiration is not uncommon in children. It occurs when symptoms are underappreciated and/or radiological findings are overlooked. In such cases serious complications can arise, which make the diagnosis and removal of the FB much more difficult. Here, we present a case where FB aspiration was misdiagnosed as asthma after a radio-opaque FB o...
