ABSTRACT
Intracranial aneurysms are common. It is the most commonly encountered aneurysms in the human body. Rupture of an aneurysm producing intracranial bleeding is considered a medical emergency, and requires further investigation and management. Cerebral angiography is still the examination of choice to confirm the diagnosis of aneurysms. In our study, 29 cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms show no sex difference And 13 out of 29 cases are in the range of 40-60 years. The most common location of cerebral aneurysms is the anterior communicating artery aneurysms, 11 out of 29 cases. No multiple aneurysm is seen in this study.
ABSTRACT
Utrasonographic features of 32 patients who had gastrointestinal pathology proved by endoscopy and / or exploratory loporotomy with pathological sections were analysed. The pathology was classified into neoplasm group (17 / 32) and non – neoplasm group (15 / 32). Among 17 cases of neoplasm group, echoic masses were found in 9 cases (9 /17), thicken bowel wall in 7 cases (7 /17) which all are adenocarcinoma of stomach and mixed echoic mass in only I case (1/17). In non – neoplasm group, we found gastric outlet obstruction or dissented stomach without mass 5 cases ( 5 /15), mixed echoic mass 4 cases (4 /15), echoic mass 2 cases ( 2 /15), thicken bowel wall 2 cases ( 2 /15), pseudokidney sign 1 case and matted fluid – filled bowel loops 1 case. We found hat most cases of the neoplasm group have echoic mass and thicken bowel wall (16 /17). The variation in sonographic findings in non – neoplasm group depended on pathological process of the diseases as discussed in detail in the text.
ABSTRACT
From January 1978 to October 1985, eighty-three patients who were correctly diagnosed as melioidosis, by evidence of positive culture of pseudomonas pseudomallei, in Srinagarind Hospital were investigated, concerning about pulmonary involvements of melioidosis, by appearance on roentgenographic findings. There were 62 cases (74.7%) who had pulmonary involvements which were classified as following : patchy, mottle, streaky infiltration 26 cases (31.3%) multiple nodular infiltration 20 cases (24.4%) pleural effusion/pyopneumothorax 19 cases (22.9%) cavity abscess 19 cases (22.9%) T.B. like 16 cases (19.3%) atelectasis/collapse 12 cases (14.5%) Furthermore, this study also revealed 8 cases of hilar node enlargement, 3 cases of consolidation, 3 cases of pneumonitis/pleuritis, 3 cases of pericardial effusion, 3 cases of mass/masses and a cases of calcification.
