Pediatric appendiceal ultrasound: accuracy, determinacy and clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography is considered the most appropriate initial imaging study in the evaluation of acute appendicitis in children but has recently come under criticism with reports of low specificity and high indeterminate study rates,…

Pediatric Urolithiasis: Clinical Predictors in the Emergency Department.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify factors that predict the presence of urolithiasis detected with unenhanced computed tomography (UCT) in children. METHODS: A retrospective study of all subjects \textless21 years of age who…

Sarcoidosis: an enigmatic disease calls for a measured workup.

Treatment options for sarcoidosis range from observation to complex immunosuppressive agents and organ transplant. A careful examination will help you assess the likelihood of spontaneous remission and determine when to initiate appropriate treatment…

Severe Bone Loss as Part of the Life History Strategy of Bowhead Whales.

The evolution of baleen constituted a major evolutionary change that made it possible for baleen whales to reach enormous body sizes while filter feeding on tiny organisms and migrating over tremendous distances. Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus)…

Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography With Capromab Pendetide Plus Computerized Tomography Image Set Co-registration Independently Predicts Biochemical Failure

Sinus CT Scan Findings in 'Sinus Headache' Migraineurs.

Objective.- To evaluate the sinus CT scan findings in 'sinus headache' migraineurs, and to compare the findings to nonmigraine 'sinus headache' patients. Background.- The majority of patients presenting with 'sinus headache' satisfy the International…

Sonographic appearance of the Angelchik prosthesis.

The Angelchik prosthesis is a silicone-filled, doughnut-shaped device used for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. This device appears on sonograms as a C-shaped, hypoechoic structure with nonspecific Doppler waveforms. Because the…

Splenic rupture from colonoscopy. A report of two cases and review of the literature.

Splenic injury after colonoscopy is rare. Only 15 cases previously have been reported in the English literature. Partial capsular avulsion is the proposed mechanism of injury. Any condition causing increased splenocolic adhesions may be a…

Streptococcus sanguinis brain abscess as complication of subclinical endocarditis: emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis.

A 19-year-old male patient was diagnosed with S. sanguinis brain abscess of unknown etiopathology as a complication of subclinical endocarditis. While viridans streptococci are implicated in dental seeding to the heart, S. sanguinis brain abscesses…

Ten-year outcomes: the clinical utility of single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography capromab pendetide (Prostascint) in a cohort diagnosed with localized prostate cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical utility of capromab pendetide imaging with single photon emission computed tomography coregistration with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in primary prostate cancer (CaP) for pretreatment prognostic staging and…

The otolithic organ as a receptor of vestibular hearing revealed by vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in patients with inner ear anomalies.

The human vestibule has preserved an ancestral sound sensitivity and it has been suggested that a reflex could originate from this property underlying cervical muscle micro-contractions secondary to strong acoustic stimulation. Previous studies have…

The use of sensory electrical stimulation for pressure ulcer prevention.

Pressure ulcer prevention is critically important for many people with reduced mobility. The authors investigated whether sensory (sub-motor-threshold) electrical stimulation (ES) may provide a convenient preventive intervention. A double-blinded,…

Using Lean Six Sigma to Improve Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage Screening in a Geriatric Trauma Population.

PURPOSE: Geriatric trauma patients taking preinjury anticoagulant or antiplatelet (ACAP) medications are at greater risk for delayed intracranial hemorrhage (DICH), a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Routine repeat head computed…

Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in three patients with large vestibular aqueduct.

An enlarged vestibular aqueduct (LVA) is a common congenital inner ear anomaly responsible for some unusual vestibular and audiological symptoms. Most of the cases show bilateral early onset and progressive hearing loss in children. The gross…
