Comparison of respiratory-triggered 3D MR cholangiopancreatography and breath-hold compressed-sensing 3D MR cholangiopancreatography at 1.5 T and 3 T and impact of individual factors on image quality.

Purpose: To evaluate the image quality of an accelerated compressed-sensing single-breath-hold 3D magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (BH-CS-MRCP) prototype sequence compared to the standard 3D sequence with respiratory triggering (STD-MRCP) at 1.5 T and 3 T. To assess the individual factors that can affect image quality.

Peroperative detection with a gamma probe of pelvic metastasis after differentiated thyroid carcinoma in female patients: about two cases and management reflections.

Background: Distant metastases of differentiated thyroid cancers are exceptionally localized in the soft tissues and the pelvic cavity. This last event complicates diagnosis, especially in female patients because of false positive nuclear imaging and unrelated iodine uptakes. False positive due to body secretions, urinary and fecal iodine retention and iodine uptake by non-thyroid tissues or ectopic thyroid tissue and bone metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

[Pulmonary resection and ECMO: A salvage therapy for penetrating lung trauma].

The majority of chest penetrating trauma patients are successfully managed with tube thoracostomy and general supportive measures. Pulmonary resection for hemorrhagic shock is rarely required after trauma to control bleeding. Both pulmonary injury and massive blood transfusion can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Carotid artery revascularisation following neck irradiation: immediate and long-term results.

Objective: Carotid artery stenosis is a complication of neck irradiation. We describe the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment.

Methods: This was a retrospective single centre study.
