Fred has been experiencing recurring episodes of heartburn, especially when he bends over to lace his shoes or when he lies down

in bed. His physician believes Fred may have a hiatal hernia. To confirm this diagnosis, she has scheduled Fred for a “barium swallow.” In this test, a barium-containing fluid that blocks x-rays is swallowed so that the stomach appears as a bright mass in a radiograph. If Fred has a hiatal hernia, what should the radiologist see on the radiograph? Can you explain what caused the symptoms that brought Fred in to see his physician?

Answer:

A hiatus hernia is a disorder in which a portion of the stomach protrudes into the lower chest due to a weakening diaphragm.

Explanation:

The majority of hiatus hernias are discovered by chance during a routine chest x - ray or CT scan. Hiatus hernia might present on a radiographic as a retrocardiac bulge with or without air liquid surface. Because the gastric fundus was seen to be moved across the diaphragm, it was diagnosed as a retrocardiac tumour. Hiatus hernia is indicated by the presence of air liquid in this mass.

Looking for various opinions on organ donation for a project.
Vladimir79 [104]
I am an organ donor. I believe that if my body can make someone survive an illness (cancer/leukemia) or recover from a condition such as blindness or a missing limb, then It is my duty to allow for that to happen. When I die, my soul will go on but my body will just rot so why not let someone use up what they can. I am especially strong in my opinion when dealing with pediatric illnesses. If a child needs my lungs or my kidneys, they should take them and live a long life. After I pass, they are useless to me!
