The effect of computed tomography on oxidative stress level and some antioxidant parameters.

Background: X-rays are defined as ionizing radiation and hydrolyze the water, causing free radical formation. Oxidative stress is the damage that occurs in cells due to the lack of antioxidants, which detoxifies them, with the increased production of free radicals that occur during normal cellular metabolism.

Purpose: To examine the acute effects of computed tomography (CT), i.

Histopathology and elastography discordance in evaluation of breast lesions with acoustic radiation force impulse elastography.

Purpose: It is known that, besides its benefits, ultrasound (US) elastography may show discordance findings, leading to biopsy, so this technique has some limitations. The purpose of the present study was to compare histopathological results and shear wave velocity (SWV) values in patients, to reveal discordance findings, and to investigate its statistical significance in making the decision for biopsy with SWV values.

Material And Methods: A total of 190 patients presenting with breast lesions were included in the study.

[Case report: Budd-Chiari syndrome and esophageal variceal bleeding due to alveolar echinococcosis].

Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver is a rare larval cestode disease which is due to the intrahepatic growth of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. This cestode naturally evolves as a larval stage within cysts in the body of carnivores. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts and become infected, either by eating food contaminated with carnivore-originated eggs or by touching foxes.
