Background: The clinical diagnosis of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is supported by imaging findings including 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT). To avoid misinterpretation due to normal post-surgery inflammation we assessed normal imaging findings in non-infected patients after sternotomy.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study including non-infectious patients with sternotomy.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of incidental findings (IFs) on coronary computed tomography (CCT) in women aged 45-55 years and previously diagnosed with reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) or preeclampsia (PE).

Methods: A total of 486 middle-aged women with PCOS (n = 101), POI (n = 97) or a history of PE (n = 288) underwent a CCT as part of a prior prospective study. IFs were categorized by their significance (minor, moderate and major).

Background: Anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus of Vasalva with interarterial course (ACAOS-IAC) is associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. If identified in adulthood prognosis is usually more benign, resulting in a dilemma regarding revascularization.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational single-center study, including adults with ACAOS-IAC.
