Interrupted inferior vena cava and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return with atrial septal defect in a 38-year-old adult: a case report

We present a woman having congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from the right lung with atrial septal defect in a 38-year-old. Congenital anomalies of inferior vena cava are rare. They are seen more often in young males. If there are not other anomalies, they are latent for a long time. Peripheral venous thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, dyspnea and fatigue are often the first symptoms of these anomalies. Surgical repair of atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return include provision of durably unobstructed systemic and pulmonary venous pathways, closure of the atrial septal defect, and avoidance of arrhythmias. The diagnosis has been determined by compression ultrasonography with color doppler assessment, multidetector computed tomography angiography and echocardiography

Functional Cluster and Canonical Correlation Analysis of EU Countries by Number of Daily Deaths and Stringency Index During Covid-19 Pandemic

The danger of a global pandemic, such as the new Coronavirus (Covid-19),is obvious. This study aims to investigate the behavior and relationship of thenumber of daily new conrmed deaths per million and the stringency indexof twenty-seven European Union (EU) countries by utilizing functional clusteranalysis and functional canonical correlation analysis. Functional clusteranalysis was used to observe how countries cluster together according to dailydeaths during the time interval between March and July 2020. Functionalcanonical correlation analysis was also utilized to measure the correlationbetween the frequency index and daily deaths, and also to determine therelative positions of countries concerning their respective variability structure.The data is obtained from OWID. Here, it is seen that Italy, Spain,Belgium, and France are particularly aected by the pandemic during thetime interval within the EU countries, and the course of daily deaths is in adierent position compared to other EU countries. At the same time, a veryhigh relationship emerged between the stringency index and daily deaths asexpected

Superior vena cava syndrome caused by behcet’s disease

Background: A-36-year-old man presented with a six-year history of Behçet’s disease and superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. He said his symptoms related with Behçet disease (recurrent genital and oral ulcers, joint tenderness) did start 20 years ago

Brain Perfusion MRI Findings in Patients with Behcet's Disease

Objective. To search brain perfusion MRI (pMRI) changes in Behcet's disease (BD) with or without neurological involvement. Materials and Method. The pMRI were performed in 34 patients with BD and 16 healthy controls. Based on neurologic examination and post-contrast MRI, 12 patients were classified as Neuro-Behcet (group 1, NBD) and 22 patients as BD without neurological involvement (group 2). Mean transit time (MTT), time to peak (TTP), relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), and relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were obtained and compared to those of healthy control group (group 3). Results. There was a significant difference in the MTT and rCBF within the pons and parietal cortex in groups 1 and 2. rCBV increased in cerebral pedicle in group 1 compared with groups 2 and 3. In the temporal lobe white matter, prolonged MTT and decreased rCBF were found in groups 1 and 2. In the corpus striatum, internal capsule, and periventricular white matter, rCBF increased in group 1 compared with group 3 and decreased in groups 1 and 2. Conclusion. Brain pMRI is a very sensitive method to detect brain involvement in patients with BD and aids the clinical diagnosis of NBD, especially in patients with negative MRI findings

Recurrent Retroperitoneal Cystic Lymphangioma

Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation. The majority of lymphangiomas are present at birth and nearly all present before the age of two years. We report a case of giant cystic retroperitoneal lymphangioma in a patient who first presented with symptoms at the age of 7, underwent surgery, and who then suffered a recurrent mass 11 years later

A customer segmentation model proposal for retailers: RFM-V

Today\u27s businesses have large quantity of demographic, economic and behavioral data on their customers with the rapid development of computer and internet technologies. Customer segmentation analyzes are carried out on the basis of various parameters in order to identify and group consumers with different needs and wishes and to develop marketing applications and solutions specific to each group. RFM analysis is a commonly used and well-known customer value evaluation tool for analyzing and classifying vast volumes of customer data quickly and effectively. It is used to numerically identify the correct customers by examining how recently, how often and to which monetary value a customer has made purchases. This study proposes a new model to be used in customer segmentation. In this model called RFM-V, the V parameter indicates the diversity of the customer\u27s purchases, which can define customer depth in terms of customer relationship management literature. The study also proposes a new matrix, Customer-Product Depth Matrix, with this new variable V added to the model. With this matrix created by using M and V parameters, customers can be examined in four quadrants according to their depth. Analysis findings can also be associated with basket analysis data in order to develop healthier marketing strategies and realize effective promotional suggestions

Perforation of the urinary bladder wall by foley catheter

Background: A 45-year-old male patient was admitted to the urology department with hematuria. Patient was known with bladder cancer and refused surgery four years ago

Diagnosis of Appendicitis in Patients with Abnormal Position of the Appendix due to Mobile Caecum

Acute appendicitis is usually diagnosed on the basis of signs, symptoms, clinical history, physical examination, and results of laboratory tests.The position of the appendix can vary considerably, both in relation to the caecum and because of the inconsistent position of the caecum itself, and may cause variable clinical symptoms. We present the CT findings of surgically proven acute appendicitis associated with atypically located caecum in two patients
