Article Synopsis
- The incidence of colonic diverticulosis and its complications, such as colovesical fistulas, is increasingly common, often presenting with specific clinical signs.
- A case study of a 43-year-old man experiencing recurrent urinary tract infections led to the diagnosis of a colovesical fistula via CT scan, prompting surgical intervention without identifying the fistula tract.
- Persistent urinary tract infection symptoms in patients warrant consideration of diverticular complications, and diagnostic procedures like barium enema are not always necessary for confirming colovesicular fistulas.
Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is a thyroidectomy complication. The effect of this complication cannot be accurately quantified. The incidence of hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy has high variability in the literature, between 7 and 37%.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that can cause detrimental obstetric outcomes if not managed properly. Current evidence demonstrates higher risk for long-term cardiovascular disease in preeclamptic women. Even in uncomplicated pregnancies, the heart work overload often reveals subtle cardiac defects or abnormalities, which otherwise remain undiagnosed in women without a history of pregnancy.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg
April 2008
Quadrilateral space syndrome is a rare condition in which the contents of the quadrilateral space, the axillary nerve and the posterior circumflex humeral artery, are compressed, leading to vague symptoms of shoulder pain, tenderness over the quadrilateral space on palpation, and teres minor and deltoid denervation. Fibrous bands within the quadrilateral space are often cited in the literature as a cause of compression in quadrilateral space syndrome; however, Cahill and Palmer did not see these bands in cadaveric dissection. These are postulated to cause compression of the quadrilateral space contents in abduction and external rotation of the shoulder.

Methods: Superior labral tears were identified in 24 patients from a cohort of 500 patients who had shoulder problems sufficiently disabling to warrant arthroscopic evaluation and management. These labral tears were arthroscopically repaired with 1 to 3 biodegradable tacks (mean, 1.
