Introduction And Importance: Foreign body ingestion leading to luminal obstruction in both the small and large bowels is rare, especially in children. The authors present a case of a 7-year-old patient who presented with a small bowel obstruction caused by an ingested radiolucent foreign body. The previous herniotomy surgery 1 year back led to initial diagnostic confusion, highlighting the need for a broad differential diagnosis.

Unlabelled: Hepatogastric fistula following pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare and fatal complication, and only a handful of cases have been reported without co-existing comorbidities of Brugarda syndrome.

Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a known case of Brugarda pattern ECG with chief complaints of on-and-off abdominal pain and fever for 2 weeks and shortness of breath for one day. On evaluation, echocardiography showed a clot in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium (RA), and on computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a liver abscess with transmural gastric perforation.

This article applies a unified approach to variational smoothing and segmentation to brain diffusion tensor image data along user-selected attributes derived from the tensor, with the aim of extracting detailed brain structure information. The application of this framework simultaneously segments and denoises to produce edges and smoothed regions within the white matter of the brain that are relatively homogeneous with respect to the diffusion tensor attributes of choice. This approach enables the visualization of a smoothed, scale invariant representation of the tensor data field in a variety of diverse forms.

Characterizing the response of the brain to a stimulus based on functional magnetic resonance imaging data is a major challenge due to the fact that the response time delay of the brain may be different from one stimulus phase to the next and from pixel to pixel. To enhance detectability, this work introduces the use of a curve evolution approach that provides separate estimates of the response time shifts at each phase of the stimulus on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The approach relies on a parsimonious but simple model that is nonlinear in the time shifts of the response relative to the stimulus and linear in the gains.
