Ethical Use of Cadaveric Images in Anatomical Textbooks, Atlases, and Journals: A Consensus Response From Authors and Editors.

Nowadays, consent to use donor bodies for medical education and research is obtained from the body donors and their families before the donation. Recently, the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) published guidelines that could restrict the appearance of cadaveric images in commercial anatomical resources such as textbooks and other educational products. These guidelines state that the donor must expressly consent to using such images for this purpose.

Cardiac Outpouchings: Practical Approach to Normal Variants and Pathologic Conditions at CT and MRI.

Numerous entities, both structural and pathologic, can manifest as a contrast material- or blood-filled cardiac outpouching at imaging. These outpouchings often resemble one another and are frequently unfamiliar to imagers and clinicians, creating uncertainty when detected. Furthermore, the diagnostic criteria for conditions such as hernia, aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, and diverticulum have not been consistently applied in studies and reports cited in the literature describing these outpouchings, adding to the confusion among general and cardiothoracic imagers.

En Bloc AngioVac Removal of Thoracic Aortic Mass.

The AngioVac system, designed for suction during extracorporeal bypass, is used to aspirate masses, thrombi, and other undesirable material from the cardiovascular system. To date, it has been used extensively in the venous system and right side of the heart; however, its use in the arterial system has been limited because of smaller vessel sizes and the requirement for a 26F sheath. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a history of angiosarcoma who presented with acute embolic events that affected her spleen and lower extremities.
