Abstract
Two patients were diagnosed as having unilateral iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts that were documented to enlarge and induce angle closure. Transpupillary IPE cystotomies were performed using the Nd:YAG laser as a prophylactic measure to prevent angle-closure glaucoma. Anterior ch...

Abstract
Cysts of epiglottis are rare. Following induction of anesthesia, asymptomatic cysts may lead to unanticipated difficulty in ventilation or intubation or both and can be potentially life threatening in such situations.

Abstract
We propose a modified electronic Fresnel-based beamforming method for low-cost portable ultrasound systems. This method uses a unique combination of analog and digital beamforming methods. Two versions of Fresnel beamforming are presented in this paper: 4-phase (4 different time delays or phase shif...

Abstract
Glial cells missing 2 (Gcm2) is a master regulatory gene of parathyroid gland development, and it is exclusively expressed in the parathyroid gland. Diagnostic application of anti-Gcm2 antibody has not been reported yet. In this study, a total of 58 cases of parathyroid lesions including 40 adenomas...

Abstract
We describe the first case of a carcinoid composed of ghrelin-producing cells arising in a tailgut cyst. Ghrelin production was demonstrated using immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methods. A 73-year-old woman with back and pelvic pain was...

Abstract
We assist to an overdiagnosing number of cases and diagnostic criteria emerged to face this problem. In the great majority of the cases ASA are small and inoffensive, but as ASA is considered a risk factor for cardioembolism when associated with persistence of foramen oval (PFO), an examination by t...

Abstract
Post-traumatic splenic pseudocysts are rare condition and comprise more than 75% of non-parasitic cysts. They result from subcapsular or intraparenchymatous hematoma, by its liquefaction and creation of the fibrous peripheral capsula. Splenic pseudocysts have no epithelial lining, its diameter could...

Abstract
The infrapatellar fat pad or Hoffa's fat pad is a cylindrical extrasynovial collection of fat located in the infrapatellar region. Anatomical, biomechanical and imaging data show that the infrapatellar fat pad constitutes a true crossroads between patella, femur and tibia and helps in understanding...

Abstract
We have experienced an increased detection of previously unsuspected liver masses in otherwise asymptomatic patients owing to the widespread application of imaging techniques. Regardless of the malignant or cystic tissues, a remarkable percentage of these masses are represented by benign solid neopl...

Abstract
Benign pathologies of the liver often include several cystic diseases, such as simple cysts, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, and Caroli's disease. The differential of hepatic cysts also includes infectious pathologies, such as pyogenic liver abscess, hydatid cysts, and parasitic infecti...

Abstract
We described for the first time a foregut cyst presenting as an umbilical mass in a female infant. The diagnosis was made microscopically. This case illustrates, based on varied histologic findings, the complexity in classifying such cysts, in view of existing terminology.

Sinus floor elevation is increasingly being used with implant placement procedures. However, certain surgical difficulties can develop, such as sinus membrane perforation, bleeding, anatomic variations, or some pathologies of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary antral pseudocysts are one of the most comm...

Abstract
Recognizing placental membrane hypoxic lesions increases the sensitivity of placental examination in diagnosing placental hypoxia by at least 15%. The risk of in utero hypoxia is increased when microscopic chorionic pseudocysts and laminar necrosis occur in conjunction with villous hypoxic lesions....

Abstract
We have used the three-dimensional (3D) Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell culture system to study how p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1), which is an important regulator of the cytoskeleton, modulates branching. Our data reveal that Pak1 plays a crucial role in regulating branching morphogenesis. Exp...

A large, soft, spherical mass was located between the left arytenoid and thyroid cartilages and axial to the left ceratohyoid bone, thus causing partial obstruction of the rima glottidis. Laryngoscopic examination, computed tomography (CT), and cytologic evaluation of aspirates performed before surg...

Abstract
We show how the CF can be interpreted as an implementation of the Wiener postfilter for a delay-and-sum beamformer. In addition, we show that a minimum-variance, distortionless-response beamformer followed by CF weighting can be interpreted as an implementation of the Wiener beamformer. These interp...

Abstract
We describe a 45-year-old male patient with recurrent retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), in whom a pseudocyst in the peri-aortic fibrotic mantle was diagnosed. Without any intervention other than oral treatment with tamoxifen, the pseudocyst showed significant regression. Although rare, pseudocyst form...

Abstract
This case of splenic peliosis, describes a rare condition when it presents in the spleen, and is better understood when it occurs in the liver. However, the ultrasound and CT features have a wide differential diagnosis including more common aetiologies, of either a vascular, infective or neoplastic...

We report a case of incidental CT angiography depiction of a PAVM within a pulmonary cyst. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been described previously. On the basis of its appearance and lack of typical clinical features of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), we suggest that t...

The SNAP fecal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Giardia test was used to determine the prevalence of Giardia in dogs and cats with gastrointestinal signs. The test was positive in 241 (13.0%) dogs and 16 (4.1%) cats. Giardia cysts were detected in only 61 of the 241 dogs and 4 of the 16 cat...

Among the 132 patients with MDCT evidence of indeterminate, subcentimetric focal liver lesions (206 lesions), US proved the cystic nature of 138 lesions in 87 patients. In 45 cases US failed to recognize any abnormality or cystic image and these subjects underwent CEUS. The CEUS results were confirm...

SNRs and ADCs of the liver on enhanced images were significantly lower than on unenhanced images. On DW images at b = 200 s/mm(2), CNRs of malignant and overall lesions were significantly higher on enhanced than on unenhanced images. CNRs of focal lesions tended to be higher, especially in malignant...
