Abstract:
Kartagener syndrome (KS), also known as immotile cilia syndrome or as a primary ciliary dyskinesia, is characterized by the triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and chronic pansinusitis. A few studies reported that diffuse bronchiolitis might be one of the characteristic features of the lung in KS. We aimed to present the radiologic characteristics of KS, including diffuse bronchiolitis, sinus aplasia, and situs inversus totalis in a single case.

The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
