Background: High riding jugular bulb (HJB) is a vascular abnormality characterized by the higher-than-normal location of the jugular bulb.

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency of HJB among children who underwent cranial computed tomography (CT) mostly because of head trauma.

Material And Methods: Patient demographics such as age, sex, indication of cranial CT, diameters of the right and left JB, and presence and laterality of HJB were recorded and analyzed.

Objective We aimed to evaluate histopathologic alterations in the lung, heart, liver, and spleen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) decedents through postmortem core needle biopsies. Materials and methods Patients who died of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-proven COVID-19 were included in this postmortem case series. Postmortem percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsies of the lungs, heart, liver, and spleen were performed using 14- and 16-gauge needles.

The TIRADS is a scoring system used for the selection of nodules for FNA and classification of the risk of malignancy based on ultrasound characteristics. The BETHESDA is a standard reporting system used for the classification of FNA results based on six criteria with risks for malignancy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TIRADS and BSRTC classifications in patients undergoing thyroid biopsy.
