This case report concerns a 40-year-old male who had previously been treated for an esophageal varix rupture, at the age of 30 years. The medical examination at that time revealed occlusion of the inferior vena cava in the proximity of the liver, leading to the diagnosis of the patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome. The progress of the patient was therefore monitored in an outpatient clinic. The pa...

PURPOSE To present the MR findings of intracranial dural arteriovenous malformations with cortical venous drainage, emphasizing the parenchymal changes. METHODS Conventional MR and x-ray angiograms in 13 patients with dural arteriovenous malformations and cortical venous reflux were reviewed. The site of the shunt, location of the venous reflux, and presence of venous stenosis were assessed o...

OBJECTIVES Pulmonary parenchymal changes appear many years after the start of exposure to asbestos and their progression has been observed to continue many years after cessation of the exposure. The aim of the present analysis is to assess the risk of progression of radiological changes in the respiratory system, based on long-term follow-up of groups of workers occupationally exposed to asbest...

Evaluation of alveolar development beyond the postnatal period of rapid septation has generally involved alveolar counting. We used an alternate approach to assess postseptation parenchymal development: measurement of the lengths of various types of alveolar septal borders. This technique directly addresses changes in the elastin fiber network that determines parenchymal complexity. Lungs from ...

INTRODUCTION Infections due to COVID-19 can lead life threatening pneumonia. Accompanying severe disease are more prominent pulmonary changes on Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the chest. The goal this study was describe CT during acute and at follow up whether extent correlate with severity illness, demographics or other risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Included in all individuals that had...

abstract background: screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (apn). diuretic tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (mag3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (mag3-f0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. the advantages of mag3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. the aim of this stu...

There are many changes in the plasma, lipids, and lipoproteins in patients with liver disease. They have proved difficult to study but our understanding of these changes has increased greatly during recent years. In obstructive jaundice hyperlipidaemia is a fairly constant finding and this appears to be due to the regurgitation of phospholipid from the obstructed biliary tree. The plasma lipids...
