We present a "pseudomass" originating from the right abdominal wall in a 75-year-old patient with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Age-related structural changes in the abdominal wall, as well as anatomical variations, should be kept in mind in order to establish the correct radiological diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary procedures.

Materials and Methods: A prospective series of 74 consecutive patients (average age: 57.6 8.1 years) with simple renal cysts were enrolled in this study. They were randomized into two groups and 95% ethanol or 20% HS, respectively, corresponding to 25% of the aspiration volume, was injected. Treatment success was determined six months later with follow-up clinical evaluation and performing ultrasonography. Results: The sclerotherapy was accepted as technically successful without major complications in all except two patients who were excluded because of a communication between the simple renal cyst and the pelvicalyceal collecting system. Thirty-six patients in the ethanol group received sclerotherapy with 95% ethanol and 36 patients in the HS group underwent sclerotherapy with 20% HS. The complete regression ratio of the ethanol group was significantly higher (94% versus 72%, respectively) than that of the HS group. There was one patient with partial regression in each group. The failure ratio of the ethanol group was significantly lower (3% versus 25%, respectively) than that of the HS group. Conclusion: Ethanol sclerotherapy under CT guidance is a successful and safe procedure and it can be used for the treatment of simple renal cysts. Sclerotherapy with 95% ethanol is more effective than 20% HS sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy with HS may be an option for patients preferring to undergo a less painful treatment procedure. imple renal cysts are the most common renal masses, and they account for approximately 65 to 70% of all of them (1). They often occur in patients over the age of 50 as has been determined with performing postmortem examination or renal ultrasonography (US) (2, 3). Simple renal cysts are often incidentally discovered on US, CT or urography examinations that are performed for urinary tract problems or other abdominal problems. The characteristic appearance of simple renal cysts on US, CT and magnetic resonance imaging allows the radiologist to make an accurate diagnosis. US is commonly used to exclude the possibility of benign or malignant pathology because the kidney is readily accessible for US examination (4). A small proportion of simple renal cysts may be associated with symptoms, of which pain is the commonest. Hematuria, hypertension, pelvicalyceal obstruction and cyst rupture are less common symptoms (2). When cysts are very large, they may produce the mechanical effects of a space-occupying lesion.

We aimed to investigate the renal hemodynamic variations in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Material and methods: Seventy-nine FMF patients and 51 healthy subjects suitable for age and sex were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to their urinary albumin excretion. Fifty-two patients with 0-29 mg/day albuminuria were included in the normoalbuminuric group while 27 patients with 30-299 mg/day albuminuria were included in the microalbuminuric group. Results: RRI values were higher in patients with FMF compared to the healthy subjects (p < 0.0001). Additionally, RRI values were found to be higher in the microalbuminuric patients group compared to the normoalbuminuric patients group, and RRI values were also higher in normoalbuminuric patients group compared to the control group (p ¼ 0.002, p < 0.0001). The ROC curve analysis suggested that the optimum RRI cutoff value for microalbuminuria in patients was 0.63, sensitivity of 66%, specificity of 60%, and p ¼ 0.013. Conclusion: RRI may be a marker that may be used in assessing resistance to renal blood flow, early renal damage, and progression of renal damage in FMF patients.

Material/Methods: Twenty outpatients on HD (mean age 46.1±16.4), 27 outpatients on PD (mean age 45±12.4), and 26 normotensive outpatients with ADPKD (mean age 52.4±16.7) as the case groups and 21 healthy subjects (mean age 48.4±7.2), as the control group, were included. The participants underwent ultrasonography of the common, right, and left carotid arteries for the IMT and Doppler flow measurements. Results: Overall, compared to the normal group, in the study groups, the IMT and peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) were significantly higher in common carotid arteries; however, their differences were not meaningful in internal carotid arteries (p<0.05). Conclusions: Overall, ADPKD, PD, and HD increase the IMT, PSV, EDV, RI, and PI values of CCA; however, their effect considerable less on the study parameters of ICA. There is no considerable difference among the effects of ADPKD, HD, and PD on the study parameters. Of CKD patients during the first diagnostic and follow-up workups, the measurements of carotid IMT and Doppler indices may provide valuable data for improving success of the clinical management.

It is almost always bilateral and usually projects superomedially without any ostiomeatal unit obstruction. Herein, we report a case of bilateral inferomedially projecting secondary middle turbinates, one of which is pneumatised and hypertrophied, resembling a large ethmoid bulla extending into the middle meatus. The recognition of this variation is important since it may predispose to inflammatory sinus disease, by narrowing the ostiomeatal unit.

According to our knowledge, the interstitial lung disease due to BFE is not clear in literature. Objective: In this descriptive crossectional study, the main objective was to assess the effects of BFE on the respiratory system. Methods: Patient group was included non-smoker 21 woman and the control group was included non-smoker 22 woman. High resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) examinations were made with supin and prone positions in two groups. The spirometric measurements, including the diffusion capacity at rest for carbon monoxide, single breath (DLCO), were also made. Results: It was found that BFE caused obstructive and restrictive spirometric impairments. The prevalence of the fibrotic bands, peribronchovascular thickenings, nodular radio opacities, and curvilinear densities in the high resolution computed tomographic examinations were 7, 5, 7, and 16 times higher in the exposure group than the control group, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume first second (FEV 1), FEV 1 /FVC, forced expiratory flow during middle half of forced vital capacity (FEF25-75), DLCO and the volumetric densities of the HRCT slices with deep expiration in prone position. Conclusions: We think that, the findings due to BFE, pose a special situation and it can be named "biomass lung".

The femoral torsion angles were measured on both sides. If the torsion angle of the fractured side was more than the other side, it was considered as an internal rotational deformity and if it was less, it was considered as an external rotational deformity. Internal rotational deformities were detected in nine cases and external rotational deformities were detected in 17 cases. Rotational deformity was not observed in two cases. Four cases, with a rotational deformity more than 108, were corrected with a gypsotomy through the level of the fracture. We concluded that a rotational deformity, which is an important complication in conservative treatment of the femoral shaft fractures in children, can be determined exactly with CT and corrections on the spica cast can be made with a gypsotomy.

Purpose To evaluate the relationship and the difference between differential serum creatinine (DsCr), which is currently surrogating as a marker of CIN, and measured differential GFR values as a control measure (DGFR) in hospitalized patients. Material and Methods GFR was measured two times by Tc-99m DTPA, before and 48 h after contrast media (CM), along with sCr and BUN in 35 inpatients (22 men, 13 women, mean age ± SD = 61 ± 14) with no known chronic kidney disease. Results Relationship was moderate between GFR and sCr (R = 0.50, P < 0.01) in the study population. Pre-CM vs. post-CM values of GFR, sCr and BUN were not statistically different as (mean ± SD); 78 ± 36 vs. 73 ± 35 mL/min/1.73m2, 0.95 ± 0.26 vs. 0.94 ± 0.26 mg/dl and 21 ± 16 vs. 19 ± 13 mg/dl, respectively, in the study group. According to basal GFR values, 14 patients (40%) seemed carr...

The femoral torsion angles were measured on both sides. If the torsion angle of the fractured side was more than the other side, it was considered as an internal rotational deformity and if it was less, it was considered as an external rotational deformity. Internal rotational deformities were detected in nine cases and external rotational deformities were detected in 17 cases. Rotational deformity was not observed in two cases. Four cases, with a rotational deformity more than 108, were corrected with a gypsotomy through the level of the fracture. We concluded that a rotational deformity, which is an important complication in conservative treatment of the femoral shaft fractures in children, can be determined exactly with CT and corrections on the spica cast can be made with a gypsotomy.

Purpose To evaluate the relationship and the difference between differential serum creatinine (DsCr), which is currently surrogating as a marker of CIN, and measured differential GFR values as a control measure (DGFR) in hospitalized patients. Material and Methods GFR was measured two times by Tc-99m DTPA, before and 48 h after contrast media (CM), along with sCr and BUN in 35 inpatients (22 men, 13 women, mean age ± SD = 61 ± 14) with no known chronic kidney disease. Results Relationship was moderate between GFR and sCr (R = 0.50, P < 0.01) in the study population. Pre-CM vs. post-CM values of GFR, sCr and BUN were not statistically different as (mean ± SD); 78 ± 36 vs. 73 ± 35 mL/min/1.73m2, 0.95 ± 0.26 vs. 0.94 ± 0.26 mg/dl and 21 ± 16 vs. 19 ± 13 mg/dl, respectively, in the study group. According to basal GFR values, 14 patients (40%) seemed carr...
