The dose absorbed by sensitive breast glandular tissue in abdominal computed tomography examinations, even when the breasts are outside the primary imaging beam, is still significant. Several studies have explored using breast shielding with a protective lead sheet or a bra. Since the source of radiation in computed tomography rotates by 360° around the patient, we made a custom-tailored shielding device that wraps around the entire thorax.

- Imaging pregnant patients poses challenges due to radiation risks to the fetus, especially in urgent situations like a pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta identified in the third trimester.
- Emergency abdominal ultrasound is the first choice for diagnosing aortic aneurysms in pregnant women, with confirmation achievable through low dose CT or other imaging methods, although options like MRA have limitations.
- The presented case involved using a low dose CT scan to effectively diagnose a pseudoaneurysm, leading to urgent Caesarean delivery and surgical intervention that resulted in a positive outcome for both mother and baby.
Context: Intraoral drug delivery as mucosal delivery pathway provides a huge platform in the pharmaceutical field.
Objective: Combining mucoadhesiveness and controlled release of thio-poly acrylic acid as advanced excipient for buccal drug delivery.
Materials And Methods: Mediated by carbodiimide, cysteine was covalently attached to poly acrylic acid.
Background: Nearly every fourth person in Germany has an advance directive that is to be used in certain medical situations. It is questionable, however, whether advance directives truly influence important treatment decisions in the intensive care unit. We studied the extent to which doctors and patients' relatives agree on the applicability of advance directives in the acute setting.

Material/methods: Hepatic artery stenosis was diagnosed and treated by endovascular technique in 8 (2.8%) patients, who underwent liver transplantation between July 2007 and July 2011.
