Additional Value of Dynamic Contrast-enhanced Sequences in Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Data from the PROMIS Study.

Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) is established in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, but the need for enhanced sequences has recently been questioned.

Objective: To assess whether dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE) improves accuracy over T2 and diffusion sequences.

Design, Setting, And Participants: PROMIS was a multicentre, multireader trial, with, in this part, 497 biopsy-naïve men undergoing standardised 1.

Accidental, Non-masturbatory, Non-intercourse Related, Self-Inflicted Penile Fracture: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Penile fracture is a relatively rare condition arising from a rupture of the corpus cavernosum. In the western world, it is most commonly associated with sexual intercourse. We hereby, report a rare case of accidental, non-masturbatory, self-inflicted penile fracture.

Renal colic caused by mycotic iliac artery aneurysm.

A 33-year-old female presented with acute colicky left loin-to-groin pain and microscopic haematuria, with a background of 6 months of muscle and joint pains and diplopia. A CT kidneys/ureters/bladder demonstrated fat stranding surrounding the left ureter, as it passed over the left common iliac vessels. Arterial and delayed phase imaging revealed an obstructed ureter secondary to a left common iliac artery aneurysm, later found to be mycotic.

Imaging in the preoperative assessment of conjoined twins.

Conjoined twins are rare and present a unique challenge to pediatric surgeons and radiologists. Planning of surgical separation is aided by accurate preoperative imaging. Such twins are classified according to the most prominent site of connection: the thorax (thoracopagus), abdomen (omphalopagus), sacrum (pygopagus), pelvis (ischiopagus), skull (craniopagus), face (cephalopagus), or back (rachipagus).

Single centre open study to compare patient recording of PRN salbutamol use on a daily diary card with actual use as recorded by the MDI compliance monitor.

The aim of this study was to assess the patients' use of inhaled short acting bronchodilators as rescue therapy during a 4-week study period. In this study an electronic metered-dose inhaler compliance monitor (MDI-CM) was used to measure the time and date of actuations of the device and this information was then compared with the patients' self reporting diary card (DC). Salbutamol canisters were used in the compliance monitor.
