Interatrial Wall Abnormality is Associated with Adverse Same-Admission Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most common joint arthroplasty procedure and is shown to be a reliable and efficacious way to improve quality of life. Individuals with interatrial wall abnormalities (IAWAs), such as atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale (PFO), are at increased baseline risk for stroke and overall lifetime morbidity. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the association between IAWAs and perioperative TKA outcomes.

A case report of Rosai-Dorfman disease with kidney involvement.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder of unclear etiology, which commonly presented with the enlargement of lymph nodes of the neck and the head. Here, we report an unusual case of 77-year-old male patient presenting with left kidney lesion with several small enlarged lymph nodes around the abdominal aorta. The diagnosis of left kidney cancer was suspected and the patient underwent left laparoscopic exploration and lymph node biopsy.

Computed tomography angiography with 3D reconstruction in diagnosis of hydronephrosis cause by aberrant renal vessel: A case report and mini review.

Background: Congenital hydronephrosis is often caused by aberrant renal vessel and it is difficult to be diagnosed and treated at the early stage due to lack of the significant symptoms. Although current medical diagnosis tools are widely used, the aberrant renal vessel cannot be displayed very well in the images.

Objective: To investigate whether applying computed tomography (CT) angiography with 3D reconstruction can improve efficacy in diagnose of this congenital hydronephrosis.
