Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor: imaging features and clinical findings.

Objective: To describe the imaging features of plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor and its associated clinical findings.

Materials And Methods: An institutional database was searched to identify all patients with a pathological diagnosis of plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor. The electronic medical record was reviewed for relevant clinical data.

Computed tomographic colonography (CTC): a retrospective analysis of a single site experience and a review of the literature on the status of CTC.

Aim: To review local CT colonography (CTC) data with regard to demographics, and both colonic and extracolonic findings. To improve performance by identifying any deficiencies that need to be addressed, in relation to a literature review of the current status of CTC.

Post-caesarean section surgical site infection: rate and risk factors.

Aim: To identify the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) post-caesarean section, and important contributory risk factors.

Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted to identify cases with SSI, using as a population all the caesarean sections for the 6-month period from 16 March 2009-15 September 2009 performed at Waikato Hospital (n=526). Cases (n=25) were compared with randomly selected controls (n=50) to identify important risk factors.
