    Fetus papyraceous is defined as a compressed fetus, the mummified, parchment-like remains of a dead twin that is retained in-utero after intrauterine death in the second trimester. We report a case of fetus papyraceous (FP) in a diamniotic and dichorionic pregnancy with no maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy or the post-partum period

    Isolated torsion of the fallopÄąan tube in a postmenopausal woman; a rare entity

    Get PDF
    Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon cause of acute lower abdominal pain. The lack of pathognomonic symptoms, clinical ndings on physical examination, and specic imaging or laboratory characteristics makes this entity difcult to diagnose preoperatively, which can cause surgical intervention to be postponed. We report a case of isolated torsion of the right fallopian tube in a 58-year-old woman with a history of sexually transmitted infection. In most reported cases, there is no vascular flow on Doppler imaging modalities. We also detected high impedance of vascular flow around the cyst wall. Imaging modalities could not provide a definitive diagnosis. Tubal torsion was diagnosed upon laparotomy

    Pathologic Features of Behçet's Disease in the Tubuler Gut

    Behçet's disease (BD) is a vasculitic disorder of relapsing acute inflammation characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. The disease also affects other organs, including joints, the nervous system, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal (GI) system may also be involved and the lower GI tract is the mostly involved part, leading to severe morbidity. The frequency of GI involvement in BD varies among different ethnic groups. Although 50–60% of Japanese patients have GI disease, these manifestations are rare in patients from Mediterranean countries. The gastrointestinal manifestations of BD usually appear 4.5–6 years after the onset of the oral ulcers. The intestinal lesions are usually resistant to medical treatment and recur after surgery. The elementary lesion is apthous ulcer. Deep, round or oval ulcers with a punched-out appearance tend to perforate easily, so that many patients require urgent operation

    Primary tubal carcinoma with a preoperative diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess: a case report

    Get PDF
    Primary tuba carcinoma is a rare carcinoma type and it is quite difficult to diagnose it preoperatively. The patient who was operated by reason of preliminary diagnosis of tubaovarian abscess in our clinic, was diagnosed as primary tuba adenocarcinoma histopathologically. The patient was assessed as in stage IIc and she received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She developed recurrence after a remission period, and her illness aggrevated into stage IV. After 36 months from diagnosis our case died because of respiratory failure

    The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with ADHD in terms of participation, support, and barriers at home

    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on participation, support, and barriers at home in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and without ADHD. Design and methods: This study included a total of 227 participants with a mean age of 11.93 ± 2.96 years, comprising 116 children and adolescents with ADHD and 111 without ADHD. The parents or primary caregivers of all the children completed the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY), which was used to assess participation and environmental factors in the home. The Student's t-test was used to compare numeric data and Chi-square test to categorical data between children and adolescents with ADHD and those without ADHD in all three settings. Results: The children with ADHD were determined to play computer and video games significantly more than children without ADHD (p < 0.001). The mean frequency of participation in arts, crafts, music, hobbies (p < 0.001), school preparation (<0.0001), and homework (<0.003) was significantly higher in children without ADHD. A moderate effect size (ϕ = 0.42) was determined in respect of cognitive demands making it more difficult for children with ADHD to participate in home activities than children without ADHD. Conclusions: Children with ADHD were negatively affected in terms of participating in home activities than their typically developing peers. In addition, cognitive demands prevented their participation and involvement in the home environment while cognitive demands were a support for non-ADHD children. Practical implications: A highlight of this research was the comprehensive investigation of the long-term effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on participation in all activities at home, in addition to the support and barriers in the home environment for children with ADHD compared to typically developing peers

    Coexistence of postpartum cardiomyopathy and single coronary artery anomaly

    Get PDF
    Postpartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is dilated cardiomyopathy seen in the postpartum period in women who no prior history of cardiac diseases. In this case study, coronary angiography was used to determine the etiology of the cardiomyopathy after the decompensated heart failure had regressed. A congenital single coronary artery anomaly was detected by coronary angiography. In this case, PPCM can mimic pneumonia, thus making diagnosis difficult. When there is no response to antibiotic therapy, the obstetrician must consider cardiac disease and appropriate consultation should be obtained as soon as possible. To the best of our knowledge, single coronary artery anomalies coexisting with PPCM has only been documented in one other case in the literature. An association of single coronary artery anomalies with PPCM may be random, or, alternative, might contribute to the composition of the PPCM
