Cholesterol granuloma is a rare entity, which can develop in many regions of the body, accounting at most 1% of all mediastinal tumors. Etiology of this granuloma is still not clearly understood. The gold standard choice of treatment for cholesterol granuloma is total surgical resection. Symptomatic mediastinum granuloma can be easily diagnosed, but if mass effect is not evident then diagnosis of this tumor is really challenging.

Sinus node is the natural pacemaker of the heart which gives out regular electrical pulses to produce each heartbeat. When it is diseased, this function is defective and called sick sinus syndrome. Sinus node, known in short as SA node, is situated in the right upper part of the heart. Normally it gives out 60 to 100 pulses per minute so that heart beats at the same rate.

Interventricular septum is a common wall shared by the left ventricle and right ventricle. Normally it contracts with the left ventricle, that is why when it does not contract in synchrony with the left ventricle it is known as paradoxical septal motion. The paradoxical motion is due to change in the shape of the left ventricle. Normally the left ventricle is circular in cross section in both systole and diastole.

Background The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) shows substantial temporal trends, but the contribution of birth cohort effects is unknown. These effects refer to the relationship between birth year and the likelihood of developing AF. We aimed to assess trends in cumulative incidence of diagnosed AF across birth cohorts and to disentangle the effects of age, birth cohort and calendar period by using age–period–cohort analyses.
