Article Synopsis
- Multiple pulmonary nodules can arise from either benign or malignant processes, with metastasis being a primary concern in patients with a known primary cancer.
- Differentiating between the causes of these nodules is complicated, as metastatic nodules can resemble those from infections, inflammation, and rare benign diseases.
- Radiological features, along with clinical and laboratory findings, play a crucial role in distinguishing between metastatic and non-metastatic causes of multiple pulmonary nodules, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * A study included 94 lymphoma and 97 sarcoidosis patients with over 1cm mediastinal lymph nodes, comparing size, location, and distribution of lymph nodes while using advanced radiomics to analyze 636 lymphadenopathies.
- * Results showed significant differences in lymph node characteristics between the two conditions, with radiomics achieving high accuracy (AUC >0.95) in distinguishing between sarcoidosis and lymphoma, indicating its potential as a reliable diagnostic tool.
On February 6, two major earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.7 on the Richter scale hit Turkey and Northern Syria causing more than 50,000 deaths.

Familiarity with the imaging features of different types of congenital lung diseases helps both in correct diagnosis and management of these diseases. Congenital lung diseases in adults are classified into three main categories as bronchopulmonary anomalies, vascular anomalies, and combined bronchopulmonary and vascular anomalies.

Methods: A new area was set up in Hacettepe University Adult Hospital to limit the contact of COVID-19 suspicious patients with other patients, which was named as COVID-19 First Evaluation Outpatient Clinic (C1). C1 had eight isolation rooms and two sampling rooms for SARS-CoV-2 polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR).
