•Almost all previous attempts to study the bronchial circulation have been limited to measurements of blood flow in the bronchial arteries and bronchopulmonary anastomoses. There have been two studies devoted to estimations of blood flow in the bronchial veins of the normal dog. In 1931, Berry and Daly perfused in dogs either the posterior bronchial artery of one lung or the entire aortic segme...

Serous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare exocrine pancreatic neoplasms, most of which are benign and do not communicate with the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm (PanIN) is considered a precursor of ductal adenocarcinoma that is microscopically recognized in pancreatic ducts. A 67-year-old Japanese woman presented with a 10-mm multilocular cystic lesion at the pancre...

Most ovarian neoplasms are benign, epithelial types are commonest. There is no regular screening test for detecting malignant ovarian neoplasm, most patients remain asymptomatic until late stages. About 80% of malignant ovarian neoplasm present in stage 3 and 4 with 15% 5 year survival rate. To find out frequency of different types of ovarian neoplasm among women aged 15-60 years and correlates...

Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly during the 4 th  week of gestational age. It is defined as an absence of pulmonary parenchyma and its supporting artery. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough. Chest examination showed a decrement in lung sound of right hemi-thorax with expiratory wheeze. Chest radiography (CXR) revealed a...
