Anterior cruciate ligament injury and bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus.

The patient was a 27-year-old man with an acute onset of right knee pain, subsequent to a twisting injury that occurred while playing soccer earlier in the day. He was evaluated via direct-access physical therapy 5 hours after the injury. He did not report giving way and locking, but did report feeling a "pop" upon injury.

Evaluation of anomalous systemic and pulmonary venous return in a young child with heterotaxy: a case study--implications for military dependent care.

The case of a young male patient with a complex admixture lesion who required a comprehensive anatomic evaluation before palliative cardiac surgery is presented. We describe a safe anesthesia protocol for obtaining the late-acquisition, gadolinium-enhanced, magnetic resonance angiographic images necessary to define the complex pulmonary and systemic venous anatomic features of his cardiac admixture lesion. Subspecialty physician staffing implications for the care of military dependants with congenital heart disease who might benefit from evaluation using this safe simple protocol and readily available magnetic resonance imaging technology are addressed.

Utility of hematuria testing in patients with suspected renal colic: correlation with unenhanced helical CT results.

Objectives: To determine the utility of hematuria testing in a large series of patients with suspected renal colic using unenhanced helical computed tomography (CT) as the reference standard.

Methods: A retrospective review of the CT reports of all patients who underwent unenhanced helical CT for suspected renal colic at one institution during a 3.5-year period and who also underwent a formal microscopic urinalysis within 24 hours of the CT study was conducted.
