Backgrounds: Foreign body aspiration is among the leading causes of avoidable fatal childhood accidents. This study was performed to evaluate the mothers’ knowledge on foreign body aspiration. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted on the mothers of 169 inpatients, between 1 month and 5 years of age, who were receiving treatment at the pediatrics department. Results: Overall, 50% of the mothers that participated in thestudy, had adequate information on foreign body aspiration. Mothers, whowere at an advancedage, were working, or who were university graduates, had a significantly higher level of information on foreign body aspiration. Conclusion: The educational level of the women should be increased, in order to enhance their awareness and their level of information on foreign body aspiration.

Primary carcinomas of the fallopian tube are one of the exceptional malignancies of the female genital tract and it is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively or intraoperatively due to nonspecific presentation. Primary fallopian tube carcinosarcomas are extremely rare and make up only 4% of all gynecological carcinosarcomas. Few cases of have been reported in the literature. In this study we presented two cases of Primary carcinomas of the fallopian tube. Our aim was to provide additional information about the clinico- pathologic features of this rare disease.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis; is a rare sign of thyrotoxicosis and characterised by attacks of muscle weakness. Hypokalemia is usually present during attacks. A 33-year-old male patient admitted to emergency service of our hospital with complaints of generalised muscle weakness which was more prominent in his lower extremities. Thyrotoxicosis and hypokalemia were detected in his examination. Hypokalemia signs were present in electrocardiography; intravenous potassium replacement had been started immediately. After potassium replacement; his complaints rapidly recovered. Thyrotoxic signs in Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis can be overlooked because neurological signs are more prominent during attacks. Early diagnosis in these patients prevents severe cardiopulmonary complications.

67 years old male patient admitted to the hospital with symptoms of cough and hemoptysis. On chest X-ray homogenously increased density was observed in right paratracheal area. Chest CT revealed lesion obstructing right upper bronchus and right paratracheal lympadenopathy. Flexible fiberoptic brochoscopy was performed and vegetative, polipoid lesion with soft tissue density was observed extending from orifice of right upper lobe to right main bronchus. Then the patient underwent diagnostic thoracotomy and right upper lobectomy. Lobectomy material showed white tumor 1,5 cm in diameter, filling the bronchus. Microscopic diagnosis was endobronchial hamartoma with chondromatous areas.

Acute or chronic autonomous cardiac symptoms like, ictal syncope, changes of heart-rate, shortening of QT intervals and other various electrocardiographic changes often accompany epileptic seizures. Cardiac changes occurring during epileptic seizures may cause sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Patients that have clinical presentations mimicking repetitive stroke and electrocardiogram findings similar to myocardial infarction, should be investigated for epileptic seizure in differential diagnosis. In this case report, we emphasize the importance of the differential diagnosis of epileptic seizures for a patient that has electrocardiographic assessment of ST changes mimicking myocardial infarct hospitalized with an acute cerebrovascular event followed by unconsciousness and hemiplegia.
