Microsievert Wide-Volume Versus Spiral Computed Tomography Using an Automatic Exposure Control System in the Diagnosis of Foreign Body Aspiration in Children.

Background: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in childhood is a life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt management to prevent devastating complications. Different imaging methods are used in the diagnosis of FBA.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value and dose of microsievert wide-volume computed tomography (μSv-WV-CT) with multidetector computed tomography using an automatic exposure control system (MDCT-AEC) in children with FBA.

Early diagnosis is associated with improved clinical outcomes in benign esophageal perforation: an individual patient data meta-analysis.

Background: Time of diagnosis (TOD) of benign esophageal perforation is regarded as an important risk factor for clinical outcome, although convincing evidence is lacking. The aim of this study is to assess whether time between onset of perforation and diagnosis is associated with clinical outcome in patients with iatrogenic esophageal perforation (IEP) and Boerhaave's syndrome (BS).

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane library through June 2018 to identify studies.

Delayed diagnosis of a case of Zenker's diverticulum. What may happen when a family physician does not visit his family physician.

Introduction: Zenker's diverticulum is a diverticulum of the mucosa of the pharynx, just above the cricopharyngeal muscle. It occurs commonly in elderly patients (over 70 years) and the typical symptoms include dysphagia, regurgitation, chronic cough, aspiration and weight loss.

Case: We are reporting dysphagia in a 49-years old man who was treated as having Helicobacter Pylori gastritis for three years.

The increasing incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in women in Turkey.

Background/aim: This study assessed the trend changes in the histological types of esophageal cancer in a 25-year period in eastern Turkey.

Materials And Methods: We searched all cases of esophageal cancer from 1990 to 2015 according to their histological diagnosis and sex, grouping the patients in 5-year time periods to evaluate time trends.

Results: We identified 1462 cases of esophageal cancer.

Complications of tracheobronchial foreign bodies.

Background/aim: Tracheobronchial foreign bodies may cause several complications in the respiratory system. We aimed to present the complications of tracheobronchial foreign bodies.

Materials And Methods: Between January 1990 and March 2015, 813 patients with suspected tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration were hospitalized in our department.

Misdiagnosed Chest Pain: Spontaneous Esophageal Rupture.

Unlabelled: Chest pain is one of themost common complaints expressed by patients presenting to the emergency department, and any initial evaluation should always consider life-threatening causes. Esophageal rupture is a serious condition with a highmortality rate. If diagnosed, successful therapy depends on the size of the rupture and the time elapsed between rupture and diagnosis.

A rare thymoma type presenting as a giant intrathoracic tumor: lipofibroadenoma.

Type B1 thymoma (lipofibroadenoma) is extremely rare. The tumor is characterized by an organoid appearance rich in lymphocytes with medullary differentiation and perivascular spaces. A twenty-three-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of chest pain and dyspnea for six months.
