Traumatic rupture of congenital pelviureteric junction obstruction.

The kidney is frequently injured in blunt abdominal trauma, accounting for 10 % of such cases and being the most commonly affected genitourinary organ in all traumas. Pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is typically a congenital and asymptomatic anatomical dilatation to the renal pelvis.

Predicting the need for transfer and interventional angiography for patients with acute colonic haemorrhage in a regional setting.

Due to requirement for specialized interventional radiology, many hospitals rely on transfer for this service. This study aimed to identify patient and clinical factors associated with positive (blush) computed tomography mesenteric angiogram (CTMA) or need for invasive angiography.
