Dynamic coronary CT Angiography-Estimated coronary flow in Non-Obstructive, Plaque-free coronary Arteries: Association with dyslipidemia and diabetes.

Rationale And Objectives: In this study, we implemented dynamic coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in order to estimate the coronary flow rate in morphologically normal coronary arteries as well as to identify factors affecting the coronary flow rate.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 95 consecutively presenting patients without stenosis or plaque in their major coronary arteries on CCTA conducted with a 320-detector scanner (mean age, 57 years; 43 % men). Time-attenuation curves of the distal sites of the major coronary arteries and the aortic root were extracted from dynamic CCTA data.

[A Case of Long-Term Survival after Chemotherapy for Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Dissemination].

The patient was a 58-year-old man who had undergone wide gastrectomy for gastric ulcer at 22 years of age. Endoscopic examination revealed an advanced type 3 gastric cancer in the anastomotic region. We performed total gastrectomy and D1 lymph node dissection because of the bleeding from the tumor, although peritoneal dissemination was found during the surgery.

[A Case of Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma with Vesico-Appendiceal Fistula Treated by Additional Laparoscopic Excision].

A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of miction pain. MRI showed fundal wall thickening of the bladder in contact with the appendix. Under cystoscopy, redness of the mucous membrane was found in the posterior wall of the bladder.
