INTRODUCTION Trichotillomania and trichotillophagia can result in huge intraluminal coagulations of hair. Rarely, these can present with gastric perforation. This work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria (Agha et al., 2016) [1]. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report the case of a 15 year old girl who attended the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting. Ultrasound abdomen...

BACKGROUND Cross-sectional imaging techniques as magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) may offer additional information on transmural inflammation, stricturing and fistulising complications in Crohn's disease (CD). The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) combined with Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) and MRE for determination of infla...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to compare magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) and video capsule endoscopy (VCE) in suspected small bowel disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients with suspected small bowel disease participated in a prospective clinical comparison of MRE versus VCE. Both methods were evaluated separately and in conjunction with respect to a combined diagnostic end...

Introduction: Staff and patient Movement in static magnetic field MRI scanner induces current density in the human tissues, so cause biologic effects in people. The aim of this study was the Modelling of current density induced by moving individual with different velocities in static magnetic field of magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: current ...

thisis a case report of a 24-year-old man who presented with increased pain and firm swelling of the right foot after a minor twisting injury. radiography, computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings showed ancillary information that was helpful for surgical treatment. the final diagnosis was confirmed aschondroblastoma of the navicular bone based on the pathology rep...

conclusions although in our study washout pattern was the most powerful indicator for malignant pathology in non mass like enhancing lesions, more studies with larger sample size needs in this regard. background several studies on the diagnostic efficacy of mri has not real consensus for the accuracy of mri characteristics in non mass like breast lesions, and the number of malignant lesions in ...

The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease (CD), is increasing worldwide. Despite several new therapeutics to treat CD, many patients fail respond their medications and inevitably face surgical resection. While genetics plays a role in environmental factors are potential triggers. Recent research from the past few years suggest that pro-inflammatory foods associated w...
