As long as radiography remains cheap and provides value in patient care, it will continue to be widely used as a front-line imaging technique. There are limitations to what a radiograph can depict, however. It is imperative to understand the limitations of radiography to avoid pitfalls owing to the overlap of numerous osseous structures. This article reminds the reader of the association between certain radiographic abnormalities and the anatomic relevance in the patient. Although interpretive errors occur in fast-paced, high-volume emergency settings, meticulous attention to changes in the cortex and medullary bone may help to keep errors to a minimum.

Granular cell tumors are rare neoplasms originating from Schwann cells found in various organs. GCTs are seldom reported in the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-operative detection and diagnosis of colonic GCTs is challenging since the tumors are mainly asymptomatic, small, slow-growing, and submucosal.

Patients with selective IgA deficiency could have various clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic to severe respiratory or gastrointestinal tract infection, as well as autoimmune disease and allergic reactions. Selective IgA deficiency is relatively common in Caucasians, but it is rare in the Asian population, meaning it could be easily missed in the clinic. In this study, we report a 26-year-old man with a history of asthma and nephrotic syndrome.

Background: Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is the most common complication of preterm neonates. It remains one of the major public health concerns that contribute to neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in Africa, where 80% of neonatal mortality is estimated to be caused by preterm complications. Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) ventilation is the preferred mode of RDS treatment.

Whilst livestock management technologies may help to improve productivity, economic performance, and animal welfare on farms, there has been low uptake of technologies across farming systems and countries. This study aimed to understand dairy farmers' intention to use calf management technologies by combining partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). We evaluated the hypotheses that dairy farmers will intend to use calf technologies if they have sufficient competencies, sufficient materials, and positive meanings (e.

Expiratory central airway collapse is a degenerative tracheobronchial disease that is often overlooked because of its nonspecific clinical features. A man was admitted for evaluation of tracheal nodules. Following bronchoscopic biopsy, a significant increase in airway pressure occurred during anesthesia recovery.
