Clinical Practice Experiences Using a Professional Diabetes Management Ecosystem During COVID.

Background: Challenges of patient care in diabetes were exacerbated by COVID, undermining the ability of patients to engage in-person with health care professionals (HCPs). To combat this, there has been accelerated adoption of telemedicine to support patient and provider connectivity.

Methods: We collated survey information regarding telemedicine from 21 European clinical institutions.

A rare presentation of renal Wegener granulomatosis in a child.

We present a rare case of Wegener granulomatosis of the kidney in childhood. The diagnosis was suggested on imaging due to a combination of clinical symptoms, the lack of improvement with antibiotic therapy, and the absence of signs of inflammation on renal imaging. It was confirmed by histological examination following biopsy.

Bladder catheter-induced obstructive bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in a newborn.

Unlabelled: We describe a dynamic, bladder catheter-related obstructive bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in a newborn documented during ultrasound. The normal findings at foetal ultrasound and the absence of muscular hypertrophy of the bladder hereby served as indicators of the iatrogenic nature of the initial abnormal ultrasound findings.

Conclusion: A Foley bladder catheter can induce obstructive bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in newborns.

Vallecular cyst as a cause of congenital stridor: report of five patients.

Background: Vallecular cysts are an unusual cause of congenital stridor.

Objective: To describe the imaging findings in five patients, with emphasis on the usefulness of sonographic studies.

Materials And Methods: Between 1990 and 2007, five patients with a cystic lesion situated in the anterior neck, at the vallecular space, were seen in our institution.

Calculation of organ doses in x-ray examinations of premature babies.

Lung disease represents one of the most life-threatening conditions in prematurely born children. In the evaluation of the neonatal chest, the primary and most important diagnostic study is the chest radiograph. Since prematurely born children are very sensitive to radiation, those radiographs may lead to a significant radiation detriment.

High-resolution sonography of a scrotal abscess in a 2-week-old infant.

Scrotal abscess in infancy is rare and, in an otherwise healthy infant, an unexpected pathology. We present a 2-week-old boy with a unilateral scrotal swelling, imaged by high-resolution sonography. Sonography with colour Doppler demonstrated an encapsulated heterogeneous mass in the left scrotum with surrounding hyperaemia and a hypervascular spermatic cord.
