Role of qualitative contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of malignant breast lesions.

Background: Carcinoma breast is the commonest cancer among women. Various authors have studied breast cancer with Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) with promising results. Despite promising results, the additional cost of post-processing software limits its availability.

Catastrophic Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Tsunami in the Ocean.

Unlabelled: Antiphospholipid anti body syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity with foetal deaths or abortions in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) is an accelerated form of disease with rapid involvement of multiple organ systems often posing a diagnostic challenge. There is a paucity of literature on the presentations of CAPS owing to the orphan nature of the disease.

Cases of catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus: An experience.

Anti-phospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by episodes of arterial and/or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity in the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies. Catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome is an accelerated form of the disease with rapid involvement of multiple organ systems often posing a diagnostic challenge. There is a paucity of literature on the myriad presentations of catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome owing to the orphan nature of the disease.

Evaluation of MR perfusion abnormalities in organophosphorus poisoning and its correlation with SPECT.

Aim: Acute organophosphate (OP) pesticide poisoning causes substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many imaging modalities, such as computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the brain, have been used for quantitative assessment of the acute brain insult caused by acute OP poisoning. Perfusion defects on SPECT in acutely poisoned patients with OPs have been described, however, MR perfusion abnormalities have not been described in the literature.
