High risk pulmonary embolism is a rare and life-threatening complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We report the case of a previously healthy, 44-year-old male, who developed acute pulmonary embolism following right percutaneous nephrolithotomy. On the 1st postoperative day, the patient presented with hemodynamic instability, acute respiratory distress, hypoxia, and loss of consciousness.

Molecules that govern bone metabolism, such as osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteopontin (OPN), have been isolated from other tissues, including blood vessels. Atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are leading causes of mortality worldwide. Despite novel biochemical and imaging techniques, early detection of CAD is still unsatisfactory.

Sporadic, synchronous, bilateral, or unilateral Renal Cell Carcinomas constitute a rare clinical entity. We report the case of a 68-year-old male patient who presented in our department due to incidentally discovered multiple, bilateral renal tumors. Magnetic Resonance Imaging demonstrated cT1b renal tumors at the lower pole of each kidney and a cT1a renal tumor at the upper pole of the right kidney.

To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a dual-access approach for CTO intervention using transradial and ipsilateral transulnar access. Although retrograde CTO intervention is a challenging procedure, a single arm-double access approach seems to be a feasible alternative that may be useful in patients with limited access-site availability.

Background: Patient outcomes in gastric adenocarcinoma are poor due to late diagnosis. Detecting and treating at the premalignant stage has the potential to improve this. Helicobacter pylori is also a strong risk factor for this disease.

Gallbladder disease (GBD) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders in western societies. Etiology is multifactorial and may follow complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Dietary intake has been considered as a potentially modifiable risk factor for GBD, because a number of dietary factors have been involved in cholelithiasis pathogenesis.

Metastasis in popliteal nodes is an extremely rare clinical condition that is scarcely reported in the literature, and popliteal node dissection is an infrequently performed surgical procedure. During the two decades of 2000-2020, 26 patients came to our institution for popliteal node dissection due to metastasis from the primary region to popliteal fossa lymph nodes. We report here that with lymphoscintigraphy, popliteal node dissection is an adequate therapeutic procedure in cases of metastasis to popliteal fossa from acral primary tumors.

Morganella morganii is a gram-negative, anaerobic, facultative bacillus that is part of the natural flora of the gastrointestinal system. In the rare event of joint effusion, it is known for its slow-paced progression of symptoms and occasional attacks and remissions leading to septic arthritis, and it is difficult to recognize and to address with a timely response. We present a case of a 95-year-old male hospitalized due to left shoulder septic arthritis.

Purpose: Although the accessory soleus muscle is a rare supernumerary muscle of the leg, its presence has been well discussed in the literature. This rare anatomic variation has been described mainly in the anatomic, surgical, and radiology literature. Awareness of the muscle's presence and its clinical presentation can help with diagnosis without surgical exploration.

Introduction: Massive localized lymphedema (MLL), also called pseudosarcoma in the literature, constitutes a rare benign clinical disorder presenting in obese patients and characterized by chronic accumulation of lymph and adipose tissue due to lymphatic flow obstruction.
Presentation Of Case: A 43-year-old, morbidly obese white woman proceeded to our institution with extended lymphedema. In addition, a 54-year-old white man sought medical advice for the same clinical issue.

Osteolysis of the distal clavicle is a rare radiological manifestation. It can be of traumatic or nontraumatic origin and is usually seen in weight-lifting trainers as a result of stress-induced osteolysis of the distal clavicle, a phenomenon known as stress failure syndrome. We present a rare case of nontraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle in a 65-year-old, male, non-weight lifter who was referred to our outpatient clinic.

Stump-wound infections are a common cause of complications after amputation. Wound infections, usually after major lower-limb amputation, vascular disease, or trauma, may lead to fistula formation. The main therapeutic options for these infections include antibiotic administration alone or antibiotic treatment in combination with surgery.

We review the anatomical variations of the hypoglossal nerve and their surgical and clinical significance, and we report multiple diseases that affect function of the nerve leading to paresis, either unilateral or bilateral. The hypoglossal nerve is the 12th cranial nerve, and knowledge of the detailed anatomy and relationship with critical structures is of paramount importance in neurosurgery, head and neck surgery, and vascular surgery. Numerous studies have depicted conventional landmarks in the cervical part of the hypoglossal nerve, but their findings have not been consistent reliable.

A Geyser sign is a rare manifestation of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) ganglion cysts that are seen in patients with massive rotator cuff tears and arthritis of the ACJ. We present a case report of a 70-yr-old male who was presented to our hospital with a massive AC ganglion cyst measuring 7 × 8 cm with normal shoulder function tests. Imaging studies revealed a massive rotator cuff tear, advanced cuff arthropathy, degeneration of the ACJ, and a Geyser sign (seen with magnetic resonance imaging).

Patella height appears to have a crucial role in knee biomechanics. Patellar malalignment and maltracking are therefore believed to be associated with development and progression of patellofemoral pain and disease. Published data are scant regarding the effect of everyday tasks on patella height and patellofemoral disease.

Hip fractures are uncommon in childhood and adolescence. A high-energy injury is the most common cause. Low-energy trauma may result in a pathological hip fracture or stress fracture of the femoral neck, on the grounds of a preexisting skeletal disease, a tumor, or a tumor-like lesion.

QT prolongation constitutes one of the most frequently encountered electrical disorders of the myocardium. This is due not only to the presence of several associated congenital syndrome but also, and mainly, due to the QT-prolonging effects of several acquired conditions, such as ischaemia and heart failure, as well as multiple medications from widely different categories. Propensity of repolarization disturbances to arrhythmia appears to be inherent in the function of and electrophysiology of the myocardium.

Background: Transradial access for coronary catheterization is more technically challenging compared to the traditional transfemoral approach and radial access failure is quite common. The aim of this study is to describe the additional steps after initial radial access site failure in a high specialized forearm approach center.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of all coronary catheterizations performed in our Department between January 2016 and December 2016 was performed, with focus on arterial access.

Objective: Visceral adiposity index (VAI), initially developed for the assessment of cardiometabolic risk, has been also proposed for the detection of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, its diagnostic performance for NAFLD is still under investigation. We evaluated VAI as a marker of NAFLD and compared its diagnostic performance with that of three other NAFLD indices - fatty liver index (FLI), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and hepatic steatosis index (HSI) - in premenopausal women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) assessed for NAFLD by ultrasonography.
Design: Cross-sectional case-control study.

Adrenal incidentalomas constitute a common clinical problem with an overall prevalence of around 2-3%, but are more common with advancing age being present in 10% of those aged 70 years. The majority of these lesions are benign adrenocortical adenomas (80%), characterized in 10-40% of the cases by autonomous cortisol hypersecretion, and in 1-10% by aldosterone hypersecretion. Several observational studies have shown that autonomous cortisol and aldosterone hypersecretion are more prevalent than expected in patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis: these patients have accelerated bone loss and an increased incidence of vertebral fractures.
