The aim of the present study was to examine the total orbital volume (TOV) and total orbital fat volume (TOFV) in normal orbits in different age groups and to investigate the correlation of these measurements with age, gender and body parameters by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI data were acquired retrospectively from a total of 1,453 subjects divided into five age groups with 10‑year intervals. The TOV and TOFV were measured using T1-weighted MRI for each subject and body parameters were also obtained. The measurements demonstrated that TOV increased with age and that the volume was larger in men than in women. While weight and height exhibited positive correlations with TOV in male and female subjects in the 20‑29, 30‑39 and 40-49‑year‑old age groups, only weight showed a positive correlation with TOV in female subjects in the 50‑59 and 60‑69‑year‑old age groups. However, TOFV increased by age in all groups and the increments were larger in women than in men. These results provide basic information about the effect of age, gender and body parameters on TOV and TOFV. The variations in TOV are associated with orbital soft‑tissues changes rather than with TOFV.

Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic disease in Mediterranean countries, often caused by the dog tapewormEchinococcus granulosus. The disease predominantly affects the liver (60–70%) and lungs (30%), and the surgical management is considered as the gold standard for treatment. Besides anaphylactic reactions, the most frequent complication of the hydatid disease is rupture into neighbouring structures, often affecting the bronchi, gastrointestinal tract and peritoneal/pleural cavities, according to its location. Primary pleural hydatidosis is an extremely rare entity and we present a ruptured pleural hydatid cyst with unusual location.

In patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), minimizing the reperfusion time is the goal of therapy worldwide. However, the differential diagnosis is critical and when a patient is encountered with chest pain and ST elevation, STEMI should not be the only diagnosis considered. By detailed history and focused physical examination, it is possible to avoid a mistaken diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of a male patient with tongue cancer and accompanying myocardial metastasis that causes electrocardiographic changes, who was initially misdiagnosed with ST elevation myocardial infarction. Here, we reported a case of metastatic cancer in the heart which was initially diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the heart were used accordingly to confirm the myocardial metastasis.

Conducting sex estimation based on bones through morphometric methods increases the need for automatic image analyses, as doing so requires experienced staff and is a time-consuming process. In this study, sex estimation was performed with the EfficientNetB3, MobileNetV2, Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16), ResNet50, and DenseNet121 architectures on patellar magnetic resonance images via a developed model. Within the scope of the study, 6710 magnetic resonance sagittal patella image slices of 696 patients (293 males and 403 females) were obtained. The performance of artificial intelligence algorithms was examined through deep learning architectures and the developed classification model. Considering the performance evaluation criteria, the best accuracy result of 88.88% was obtained with the ResNet50 model. In addition, the proposed model was among the best-performing models with an accuracy of 85.70%. When all these results were examined, it was concluded that positive sex estimation results could be obtained from patella magnetic resonance image (MRI) slices without the use of the morphometric method.

Background:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Aortic elasticity and diastolic functions are helpful parameters in assessment of CAD. In this study we aimed to learn whether diastolic function and ...
