Abdominal Ectopic Pregnancy: A Case Report of an Uncommon Complication of Pregnancy Without Prenatal Care.

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a life-threatening condition requiring a high clinical suspicion. This diagnosis must be considered in all female patients of reproductive age presenting with abdominal pain or discomfort who may possibly be pregnant. Ectopic pregnancies occur in a small percentage of all pregnancies and are a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Quantification of doxorubicin-induced interstitial myocardial fibrosis in a beagle model using equilibrium contrast-enhanced computed tomography: A comparative study with cardiac magnetic resonance T1-mapping.

Background: The noninvasive equilibrium contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has potential for myocardial tissue characterization. The objective of this study was to test the feasibility of CCT-based extracellular volume (ECV) fraction in beagle models of doxorubicin-induced interstitial myocardial fibrosis, with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as the reference.

Methods: This study was approved by local ethics committee.
