The retrosternal goiter (RSG), which can be defined by different classification and its incidence between 2% and 26% of all thyroidectomized patients, is a thyroid gland disease. Our aim was to classify RSG cases with a couple of different ways, which we have detected in computed tomography (CT) imaging of the thorax. ⋯ In patients who have retrosternal goiter, goiter spread can be defined with multiple classification with thorax CT.

To assess the value of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for treating great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence. ⋯ EVLA is a reliable and successful method utilized for the treatment of GSV incompetence. It is concluded that the detection of a thrombus in the GSV tract during the first postoperative follow-up month is an indicator for revascularization.

To analyze the clinical effectiveness and safety of early interventional embolization in the treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysm. ⋯ Early interventional embolization has satisfactory effect in the treatment of cerebral aneurysm rupture and effectively improve prognosis; hence it is worth promotion in clinical practice.

Pareidolia is the interpretation of previously unseen and unrelated objects as familiar due to previous learning. The present study aimed to determine the specific brain areas that exhibited activation during real-face and face-pareidolia processing. ⋯ The present findings suggest that, as in real-face perception, face-pareidolia requires interaction between top-down and bottom-up brain regions including the FFA and frontal and occipitotemporal areas. Additionally, whole-brain analyses revealed that the right PFCX played an important role in processing real faces and in face pareidolia (illusory face perception), as did the FFA.

To determine the prevalence, etiology and complications of emergency obstetric hysterectomy (EOH) at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. ⋯ Uterine atony and morbidly adherent placenta were the main reasons for emergency obstetric hysterectomy (EOH) in our set up.
