In-transit sentinel lymph nodes predicted by F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

Although the in-transit lymph node is a well-known issue in malignant melanoma, it is not documented sufficiently in breast cancer. In this case report an in-transit lymph node demonstrated by both PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping and diagnosed by pathology is reported

KARTAGENER SYNDROME

Kartagener sendromu otozomal resesif geçişli sinüzit, bronşektazi, situs inversus ile karakterize ender görülen bir hastalıktır. Bu makalede, kliniğimizde Kartagener sendromu tanısı ile izlediğimiz iki olgunun klinik ve radyolojik bulguları verilmiştir. Olgular kronik rinosinüzit ve bronşektazisi olan çocuklarda Kartagener sendromunun olası bir tanı olarak akılda tutulması gerekliliğini vurgulamak amacıyla takdim edilmiştir. The Kartagener syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bronchiectasis, sinusitis, sinus inversus. Clinical and radiological features of two cases followed in our clinic are given in this article. These cases are presented to emphasize that Kartagener syndrome should be considered as a possible diagnosis in children with chronic rhinosinusitis and bronchiectasis

Distribution of LDL subgroups in patients with hyperlipidemia

Background/aim: Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) have been shown to be a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Multiple distinct subspecies have been identified among LDL particles on the basis of differences in size, density, and chemical composition. Particles with a diameter of <25.5 nm are defined as small dense LDL (sdLDL) and have been shown to be associated with increased risk of coronary disease. Subjects with predominance of sdLDL (pattern B) tend to have higher levels of triglyceride (TG) and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). In this study, we investigated the distribution of LDL subgroups in subjects with different types of hyperlipidemia, such as hypertriglyceridemia (hyperTG), hypercholesterolemia (hyperCHO), and combined hyperlipidemia (HL)
