Pulmonary artery pressure in patients with markedly deviated septum candidate for septorhinoplasty.

Background: The nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. This condition increases upper airway resistance. In This study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in patients with markedly deviated septum.

Breast tuberculosis: report of eight cases.

Tuberculosis of the breast is an extremely rare disease, which is still present and is also misdiagnosed with carcinoma or bacterial abscesses. In this study, we reported on eight patients with mammary tuberculosis during a four-year period. The main signs and symptoms of the patients included a painful tender lump in the breast (n=4), a painless lump in the breast (n=3), a lump with sinus (n=1), a sinus without lump (n=1), and an ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy (n=1).
