Metastatic choriocarcinoma with hemorrhagic complications and spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: A case report.

Gestational choriocarcinoma is a malignant trophoblastic tumor arising from any gestational event, even with a long latency period, generally in the reproductive female. It is associated with a high level of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. Its primary site is usually the uterus but not all patients have a detectable lesion in this site.

Endovascular treatment of chronic hemoptysis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Background: We aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the planned management of "mild" hemoptysis. This treatment, already widely documented and used as a life-saving therapy in an emergency regimen, if properly planned in poorly controlled patients through medical therapy alone, can provide a valid opportunity by reducing the frequency and extent of non-fatal bleeding, but which still worsen the quality of life of these already significantly traumatized patients.

Methods: All procedures were conducted through a right common femoral access with a 5 Fr catheter and a 2.

Obstructive oligospermia: the role of interventional radiology in its diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose: According to the latest World Health Organization guidelines (2010), oligo-sperm it is due to a sperm concentration of less than 15 million/ml of seminal fluid. The cause can be obstructive and non-obstructive. Interventional radiology allows diagnosis and, in some cases, minimally invasive treatment.

Safety and efficacy of tomosynthesis-guided breast biopsies in the prone position: monocentric study and review of the literature.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of 9G needle biopsy under tomosynthesis guidance with the patient in the prone position.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective observational study conducted on patients with non-palpable breast mass exclusively detectable through tomosynthesis, performed from the 1st January 2018 to the 1st August 2020. The procedures were performed by taking 12 tissue samples from each mass.

Degenerative lesion of the extensor tendon V finger: Ultrasound imaging in diagnosis and therapeutic possibilities.

Traumatic injuries of the extensor tendons of the hand are common and are more frequent predisposed to tendon injuries due to the presence of chronic tendon damage. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman, tailor by profession, who showed acute rupture (80 %) with degenerative etiology of the extensor tendon of the V finger of the fifth level according to Kleinert and Verdan classification.

An ileal duplication cyst case report: From diagnosis to treatment.

Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations of the children and can develop everywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, being the ileum the most frequent localization. We herein present an unusual case of duplication cyst of ileal origin who show a tubular morphology and doesn't communicate with GI lumen. A 2-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital for investigation of an anechoic formation of the lower right abdomen for the surgical planning.

Diagnostic imaging in the diagnosis of acute complications of bariatric surgery.

Purpose: The aim of study is to identify the frequency of acute complications and imaging findings at gastro-intestinal transit (GI) and computerised tomography (CT) in a group of obese patients who developed clinical suspicion of acute complications (painful and meteoric abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, intestinal blockage) in post bariatric surgery.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively review 954 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2013 and 2019. The study included 72 patients who developed clinical suspicion of acute complications (painful and meteoric abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, intestinal blockage) within 6 days of bariatric surgery of sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, gastric bypass with Roux loop confirmed by CT, and who underwent a gastrointestinal transit before the CT examination.

Iliopsoas bursitis: The role of diagnostic imaging in detection, differential diagnosis and treatment.

Iliopsoas bursitis is characterized by distension of the iliopsoas muscle bursa due to synovial fluid and/or hypertrophic synovium. Hip disease is usually associated with it, however, isolated bursitis is also present. Clinically Diagnosing iliopsoas bursitis can be difficult, and imaging is usually required to differentiate iliopsoas bursitis from other inguinal masses such as lymphadenopathy, hernias, and tumors.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease: The role of imaging in their detection and in differential diagnosis of crystal arthropathies.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is characterized by the deposition of pyrophosphate crystals in various joint structures. Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease can be linked to underlying metabolic disorders such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hypothyroidism, all of which increase the risk of calcium pyrophosphate deposition. We present the case of a 55-year-old male who underwent diagnostic examination for the onset of recurrent joint pain in the right knee.

Amplatzer vascular plug IV in the treatment of high flow renal arteriovenous fistula: Case considerations.

Renal arteriovenous fistula is classified into idiopathic, acquired and congenital. Endovascular therapy has become the gold standard compared to surgery. We present the embolization procedure of a renal fistula postbiopsy in a 57-year-old female patient through the use of St.

Using Component Synchrony Measure for somatosensory evoked potential detection.

The multiple component synchrony measure (MCSM), a multivariate objective response detection (MORD) technique in the frequency domain, was applied to EEG signals during somatosensory stimulation of the right posterior tibial nerve collected from derivations [Fpz'-Cz'] and [C3'-C4'] of 10 adult volunteers. Stimuli were applied at the rate of 4.91 Hz and at the motor threshold intensity level.
