Primary Thoracic Wall Hydatid Cyst Extended to the Abdominal wall: A Case Report
Hydatid disease (HD) is an infectious disease caused by echinococcosis. Hydatid cyst (HC) most commonly invades the liver (60-70%) and the lungs (20-25%). However, other parts of the body and even unusual locations can be infected, mimicking a benign lesion that could be easily missed. Primary HC of the chest wall is extremely rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We he...
متن کاملRespiratory belt transducer constructed using a singing greeting card beeper.
AN ARTICLE by Belušič and Zupančič (1) described the construction of a finger pulse sensor using a singing greeting card beeper. We felt that this beeper made of piezoelectric material could be easily modified to function as a respiratory belt transducer to monitor respiratory movements. Commercially available respiratory belt transducers, such as Pneumotrace (http:// www.adinstruments.com/prod...
متن کاملReview of Oral Saliva Measurement Standard Methods
Background and Aim: At present, there are various methods for performing diagnostic tests. Due to the fact that saliva is easily available compared to other body fluids, it can be collected from patients in a non-invasive way and there is no risk of cross-infection because of it, so its use has become more common. Also, the analysis of substances in saliva can be a reflection of a person's oral...
متن کاملMeasurement and monitoring of electrocardiogram belt tension in premature infants for assessment of respiratory function
BACKGROUND Monitoring of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in premature infants with conventional adhesive-backed electrodes can harm their sensitive skin. Use of an electrode belt prevents skin irritation, but the effect of belt pressure on respiratory function is unknown. A strain gauge sensor is described which measures applied belt tension. METHOD The device frame was comprised of an aluminum h...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Circumferential Enhancement along the Wall of Cerebral Aneurysms Using MR Imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of wall enhancement of cerebral aneurysms on vessel wall MR imaging has been described as higher in ruptured intracranial aneurysms than in unruptured intracranial aneurysms, but the difference in the degree of enhancement between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms is unknown. We compared the degree of enhancement between ruptured and unruptured intracranial ...
