Outcome evaluation of prophylactic internal iliac balloon occlusion in the management of patients with placenta accreta spectrum.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes and complications of prophylactic internal iliac balloon occlusion (PIIBO) in the management of patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) at a large regional referral centre.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of all PIIBO for PAS performed over a 12-year period (2010-2022). Information for analysis was gathered from the local RIS/PACS and clinical documentation.

Role of interventional radiology in placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are rare but potentially life-threatening obstetric conditions, which can result in severe post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). Traditional management necessitates peripartum hysterectomy, but this carries high rates of morbidity and mortality. More recently, interventional radiology techniques have been developed in order to reduce morbidity and preserve fertility.

The role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the evaluation of scrotal trauma: a review.

Testicular trauma is common, usually trivial and rarely requires hospital attendance, but if it does, then imaging becomes essential as scrotal assessment may be difficult due to pain and/or scrotal disruption. Ultrasound (US) assumes a crucial role as other cross-sectional modalities have a limited use in the acute presentation. Despite the acceptable accuracy of conventional US techniques, there are limitations which hinder a thorough evaluation, critically the assessment of tissue viability, crucial for clinical management and prognosis.

Multiple, Synchronous Lesions of Differing Histology Within the Same Testis: Ultrasonographic and Pathologic Correlations.

Objective: To describe ultrasound (US) and pathologic findings in 11 patients with multiple, synchronous lesions of different histology within the same testis.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed US and pathologic findings in 11 patients with multiple, synchronous lesions of different histology within the same testis. Lesions were classified as separate or adjacent one to another and attempt was made to predict tumor type on their US textures.

The Effectiveness of Local Antibiotics in Treating Chronic Osteomyelitis in a Cohort of 50 Patients with an Average of 4 Years Follow-Up.

The treatment of chronic osteomyelitis requires both appropriate surgical and antibiotic management. Prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy followed by oral therapy is widely utilised. Despite this, the long-term recurrence rate can be up to 30%.
