A 60-year-old man presented to hospital with 3 days of epigastric pain after inadvertent ingestion of a fishbone. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a hyperdense linear object measuring 5cm that was embedded within the posterior wall of the stomach and extending towards the pancreas, in keeping with a perforating fishbone (●" Fig.1). Therewasminimal free gas and no contrast leakage was note...

Introduction  Some patients with a fishbone as a foreign body of difficult diagnosis may require further investigations. Generally, radiography is used as the first choice for finding the fishbone. Objective  The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of digital radiography for diagnosis of fishbone foreign body in the throat Methods  This descriptive experimental study design has...

Introduction: Fishbone is the most common foreign body found in the oropharynx. Conventionally patients with suspected fishbone in the throat would have mirror laryngoscopy followed by lateral soft tissue X-ray to look for the fishbone or observe impacts caused by the fishbone i.e. soft tissue swelling or air in upper esophagus. However, the most common site of fishbone impact is the suprahyoid...

PURPOSE The management and clinical course in pediatric patients who had ingested foreign body were investigated retrospectively to evaluate the frequency and factor associated with successful removal of fishbone foreign body. METHODS Based on the medical records of patients younger than 15 years old who visited emergency room because of foreign body ingestion from January 1999 to December 20...

BACKGROUND Summary of findings tables in systematic reviews are highly informative but require epidemiological training to be interpreted correctly. The usage of fishbone diagrams as graphical displays could offer researchers an effective approach to simplify content for readers with limited epidemiological training. In this paper we demonstrate how fishbone diagrams can be applied to systemati...

A 56-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain for 5 days after eating fish. She had no history of any disease or medication. Her vital signs were normal. On examination, the epigastric region was tender. No abnormalities were found in the laboratory tests. Abdominal ultrasonography was normal. Endoscopy showed a fishbone stuck in second part of the duodenum (Figure 1). The oesophagus and s...

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a high force density fishbone shaped electrostatic comb drive actuator. This comb drive actuator has a branched structure similar to a fishbone, which is intended to increase the capacitance of the electrodes and hence increase the electrostatic actuation force. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was used to simulate the motion of the fishbo...

We report the imaging and pathologic findings of fishbone-associated actinomycosis of the anterior cervical space in a 57-year-old man, misdiagnosed preoperatively as a malignancy originating from thyroglossal duct cyst. CT revealed an enhancing mass containing a small abscess pocket and two sharp linear calcifications within it, which infiltrated into the strap muscle. Pathologic examination d...
