To Analyse Effect of Tracheal Occlusion in the Development of Lung in Nitrofen Induced Congential Diaphragmatic Hernia Model

Aim: Congenital daphragmatic hernia is a congenital abnormality with high morbidity and mortality. In our study, we aimed to analyse the effect of tracheal occlusion in lung development in nitrofen-induced congenital daphragmatic hernia

Primary Psammomatous Melanotic Schwannoma of the Spine

Schwannoma is an easily identifiable and frequently diagnosed lesion of the spinal column. However, if the schwannoma contains a melanin component, the diagnosis is challenging. Our purpose in this case report is to discuss the imaging and histopathologic findings of a rarely seen psammomatous type of melanotic schwannoma diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman.

Protection of Saphenous Vein Graft from Arterial Pressure An Experimental Study

Background: Reoperations for bypass surgery increase the need for new grafts. We investigated early changes in both the normal human saphenous vein and in ectatic varicose veins externally supported by PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) graft and exposed to arterial pressure in an in vitro non-pulsatile flow model

Primary Pericardial Synovial Sarcoma in an Adolescent Patient: Magnetic Resonance and Diffusion-weighted Imaging Features

Primary synovial sarcomas of the pericardium are extremely rare tumors, especially in pediatric population. As far as we know, only few cases have been reported in the literature. This uncommon location for synovial sarcomas could lead to misdiagnosis. Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of the imaging findings and differential diagnosis of pericardial synovial sarcoma. Herein we presented a 15-year-old boy who had primary pericardial synovial sarcoma with imaging features
