Introduction: Cervical lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid cancer were classified into three categories according to ultrasound: 1) Metastases not visible on ultrasound; 2) met initial criteria for the diagnosis; 3) typical diagnosis. Purpose: To develop ultrasound diagnosis of cervical cancer. Material and methods: We studied groups nodes in patients with The first group consisted 430...

Observation of the T2W TSE Cartesian sequence Axial Cervical MRI Examinations still lacks a blurring on image. One solution to overcome problem is using BLADE trajectory. According Finkenzeller (2014) states that significantly superior with optimum sharpness, depiction cerebral spinal fluid, and detection all lesions. In addition, can suppress motion artifacts. The purpose this study was determ...

A 41-year-old man with injury of right half of the thorax, fractures of the left crural bones and paralysis of the right upper limb was admitted to our hospital. A CT examination at admission revealed bilateral pulmonary contusion and bilateral fluid- and pneumothorax. In addition pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumorrhachis at the cervicothoracic transition w...

Pneumocephalus is a well-known condition following head trauma, but is rare as an injury or as a result of surgery of the spine. We present a 76-year-old patient with a rare case of pneumocephalus associated with a cerebrospinal fluid fistula as a complication of surgical treatment for cervical myelopathy. Although cerebrospinal fluid leakage was noted and the injured dura was carefully sutured...

OBJECTIVE Cervical length measurement has been uggested as a useful tool for predicting intra-amniotic infection/inflammation in preterm labor, but little information is available in the setting of preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM). We aimed to determine whether a short cervical length is independently associated with an increased risk of intra-amniotic infection or inflammation an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High tumor interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is associated with poor outcome in locally advanced carcinoma of the uterine cervix. We have recently developed a noninvasive assay of the IFP of tumors, and in this assay, the outward interstitial fluid flow velocity at the tumor surface (v0) is measured by Gd-DTPA-based DCE-MRI and used as a parameter for IFP. Here, we invest...

Superficial siderosis is a rare condition caused by deposition of hemosiderin in the central nervous system. In recent years, it has been used to identify dural defects connecting the intrathecal space with the intraspinal fluid-filled collection seen in patients with superficial siderosis. However rare reports describe the association of low-lying cord in superficial siderosis patients. We pre...

Amnioscopy is available as an out-patient procedure, whenever hazards threaten the life of the foetus during late pregnancy. An endoscope-the amnioscope-is passed into the cervical canal so that the amniotic fluid can be inspected through the intact forewaters. Amniotic fluid which is clear, or milky from emulsification of vernix, indicates that conditions within the uterus are normal. Green or...

An 81-year old woman with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was admitted with night sweats and abdominal distension. A complete blood count showed hemoglobin 5 g/dL, white blood cell (WBC) count 28.5×10(9)/L and platelets 38.4×10(9)/L. Peripheral blood smear examination showed a large number of smudge cells and lymphocytosis composed of mature-looking lymphocytes with clumped nucl...

The many interactions between the nervous and the immune systems, which are active in both physiological and pathological states, have recently become more clearly delineated with the discovery of a meningeal lymphatic system capable of carrying fluid, immune cells, and macromolecules from the central nervous system (CNS) to the draining deep cervical lymph nodes. However, the exact localizatio...
