Abstract Aim Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly in which at least one of the veins do not drain into left atrium. Patients with PAPVC can often be asymptomatic and presence right heart dilatation on echo should prompt assessment anatomy. The aim this study was to compare anatomical features contemporary cohort patients previous historical cohorts,...

purpose : to determine the prevalence of the uncorrected refractive errors in bojnourd students methods : in a cross-sectional study, the samples were selected proportionate to the population of the schools using stratified randomized cluster sampling. the target population was the primary and junior high school students of the city of bojnourd. visual acuity (va) (snellen chart) and cycloplegi...

OBJECTIVE MR imaging and sonography are considered to be among the most reliable methods available for estimating goiter volume. Our aim was to assess the observer variability of MR imaging for estimating the volume of a large multinodular goiter and the dimensions of the related trachea. Additionally, we compared the goiter volume estimates from MR imaging with those from sonography. SUBJECT...

Bladder herniation is an uncommon condition mimicking suspicious metastasis on PET/CT imaging. We report a 67 y/o man with prostate cancer referred for recurrence evaluation with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. The scan showed an asymmetric site of intense tracer accumulation in the left inguino-scrotal region with the same SUVmax to the pelvic bladder. Reviewing cross sectional CT i...

abstract background: the prevalence of self‑neglect among the elderly is expected to rise with a rapid increase in the growth of the older population. however, self‑neglect in the elderly and the factors related to it are not fully understood due to the limited research in the area, lack of consensus in the definition of the concept, and limited instrumentation. the purpose of this study was to...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging medical imaging technology that enables high-resolution, noninvasive, cross-sectional imaging of microstructure in biological tissues in situ and in real time. When combined with small-diameter catheters or needle probes, OCT offers a practical tool for the minimally invasive imaging of living tissue morphology. We evaluate the ability of OCT to...
