Primary Myelofibrosis
Left Shift of WBC
Primary myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative disorder induced by somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells. Uncontrolled proliferation of stem cells that release a variety of growth factors leads to bone marrow fibrosis and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
During initial stages of the disease, thrombocytosis accounts…[1]

Mediastinal Shift
Tension pneumothorax (TP) is defined as a progressive build-up of air within the pleural space, generally due to a laceration of the lung.
The clinical presentation of tension pneumothorax is very similar to that of pneumothorax, even though it is much more pronounced. The classical signs include hypotension and…[3]

Scimitar Syndrome
Mediastinal Shift
Under physiological circumstances, the left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the left and right pulmonary veins, and this blood is then pumped by the left ventricle … vein into the left atrium, or creating an inter-atrial baffle, so that pulmonary venous circulation into the left atrium can be restored. … Alternatively, the anomalous vein can be re-implanted directly into the left atrium.[6]
