conclusion ct scan is highly accurate in differentiating malignant pleural mesothelioma and metastatic pleural diseases. pleural thickening and thickening of interlobar fissure lead us to the diagnosis of mpm and massive free pleural effusion is more commonly seen in metastatic pleural malignancy. background malignant pleural mesothelioma (mpm) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the pleura that ty...

Abstract Background Primary Breast Lymphoma is a rare manifestation of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma and accounts for less than 1% all breast malignancies. It defined by localized involvement the mammary tissue lymphomatous infiltrate in absence prior extramammary concomitant widespread disease. Case presentation A 46-year-old melanodermic woman was referred to our hospital due an extensive u...

Purpose. The purpose of our study was to investigate clinical manifestations, roentgen images, histopathological studies, and evolution of the disease in patient displaying infantile cortical hyperostosis. Methods. Roentgenograms were made to evaluate a neonatal patient presenting multiple soft-tissue swellings. The initial radiographs insinuated that the disease had been present for some time ...

Better understanding of the extent and scope of visual cortex plasticity following central vision loss is essential both for clarifying the mechanisms of brain plasticity and for future development of interventions to retain or restore visual function. This study investigated structural differences in primary visual cortex between normally-sighted controls and participants with central vision l...

BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a multifaceted illness involving cognitive, emotional, and structural brain changes; illness onset typically occurs in adolescence or young adulthood. Cortical thickness modulations may underlie, or accompany, functional brain activity changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during emotional processing that tend to be observed in MDD. METHODS Thirt...

Background Enthesitis is a common clinical feature of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) especially in lower limb. Clinical screening for enthesitis patients with psoriasis before developing PsA may be non-specific. Ultrasound has shown its value the study entheses. Objectives To asses heel entheses asymptomatic and healthy control using ultrasound. Methods We conducted cross-sectional case-control incl...

Children born prematurely with very low birth weight (VLBW: bw  ≤ 1500 g) have an increased risk of preterm perinatal brain injury, which may subsequently alter the maturation of the brain, including the cerebral cortex. The aim of study was to assess cortical thickness and surface area in VLBW children compared with term-born controls, and to investigate possible relationships between cortical...
