Rectification of Erroneous Chronological Dating of Three Anecdotal Events Occurring in the Early History of Radiology in Berlin.

The authors define corrected dates of three remarkable events of early history of radiology in Berlin, which have been wrongly reported in the literature. Compiled evidence from contemporary newspaper publications demonstrates that Röntgen delivered his lecture to kaiser William II on 12 January 1896. Paul Spies gave a lecture on Röntgen rays to the Reichstag on 13 February 1896.

Anticoagulant Treatment of a Thrombosed Giant Portal Vein Aneurysm.

Anticoagulation is advised in thrombosed portal vein aneurysm (PVA) without portal hypertension.

Father and Son Jointly Announced the Discovery of Röntgen Rays in Two Consecutive Press Articles - Revisited.

It is generally omitted that the press article announcing the discovery of Röntgen rays on the 5 of January 1896 was followed by a second article published two days later in the same Viennese newspaper under the same heading. While the initial article was composed hastily by the editor in a journalistic style and contained no information on the nature of the new rays, the second publication was partly composed by the son of the editor, a physicist, who informed on some of the basic physical properties of the Röntgen rays.

Traumatic Atlanto-Axial Rotatory Fixation.

In atlanto-axial rotatory fixation, CT in neutral position typically shows rotation of C1 on C2. Upon head rotation, atlas and axis rotate as one unit.

Preoperative portal vein or portal and hepatic vein embolization: DRAGON collaborative group analysis.

Background: The extent of liver resection for tumours is limited by the expected functional reserve of the future liver remnant (FRL), so hypertrophy may be induced by portal vein embolization (PVE), taking 6 weeks or longer for growth. This study assessed the hypothesis that simultaneous embolization of portal and hepatic veins (PVE/HVE) accelerates hypertrophy and improves resectability.

Methods: All centres of the international DRAGON trials study collaborative were asked to provide data on patients who had PVE/HVE or PVE on 2016-2019 (more than 5 PVE/HVE procedures was a requirement).

[Paradigm shifts in the treatment of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs : are we moving forward or backward?].

The radiological treatment of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), complicating venous obstruction of the lower limbs is described. Results obtained by the evolving techniques are discussed.

The epidemiology of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in community-living seniors: protocol of the MemoVie cohort study, Luxembourg.

Background: Cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are increasingly considered a major public health problem. The MemoVie cohort study aims to investigate the living conditions or risk factors under which the normal cognitive capacities of the senior population in Luxembourg (≥ 65 year-old) evolve (1) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) - transitory non-clinical stage - and (2) to AD. Identifying MCI and AD predictors undeniably constitutes a challenge in public health in that it would allow interventions which could protect or delay the occurrence of cognitive disorders in elderly people.
