Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is an infrequent lung developmental anomaly categorized as part of the broader group of congenital thoracic malformations. Alongside bronchogenic cysts and pulmonary sequestration, CPAM is one of the most prevalent congenital lung anomalies. The malformation arises from abnormalities during embryonic development, leading to atypical bronchial morphogenesis and the development of cystic lesions within the lung tissue ....

The neoplasms of the Parpharyngeal Space (PPS) are rare 0.5%-1% of all head and neck tumors [1]. The PPS is an inverted cone-shaped region that extends from the skull base to the hyoid bone. A complex structure called the tensor-vascular-styloid fascia, divides the PPS into the prestyloid and poststyloid compartments. The PPS can be involved by four different types of neoplastic lesions: Primary tumors (benign or malignant), metastatic lymph nodes, lymph node involvement by lymphoproliferative d...

There were neither specific therapeutic drugs for treatment COVID-2019 nor effective permanent vaccines. Therefore, it is essential to detect early the disease and immediately isolate the infected person from the healthy population. In severe cases with high fever and cough, chest computed tomography (CT) can lead to rapid diagnosis, and to early control of potential transmission. This is usually needed in patients with suspected disease, for the hospitals or communities lacking nucleic acid tes...

Myeloma is the most common primary malignancy affecting the skeletal system. Most of the patients are presented and diagnosed late at the disease process, so early detection is very beneficial for patient management and choice of treatment. Multiparametric MRI with the added value of diffusion weighted images together with PETCT had been beneficial for early patient diagnosis, choice of treatment and follow up management after treatment. ...
