Upfront surgery in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and enlarged supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes associated with comparable to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: There is little data regarding the optimal approach to advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with isolated extra-peritoneal disease in the cardiophrenic lymph nodes. This study assessed whether the prognosis and surgical outcomes are affected by the treatment approach among these patients.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with advanced EOC, who were treated 2012-2020.

The renal sinus--transitional cell carcinoma and its mimickers on computed tomography.

The renal sinus is a deep recess located at the medial aspect of the kidney surrounded by the renal parenchyma. It contains within it the collecting system of the kidney, lymphatics, nerves, and renal blood vessels. The remainder of the sinus is filled with adipose and fibrous tissue.

Efficacy and safety of the dietary supplement DBCare® in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and inadequate glycemic control.

Appendicitis in adults with incidental midgut malrotation: CT findings.

Aim: To report the computed tomography (CT) findings of acute and complicated appendicitis in adults with incidental midgut malrotation.

Materials And Methods: The medical records and CT studies of eight patients with appendicitis and incidental midgut malrotation who presented to two medical centres between 1998 and 2009 were reviewed.

Results: All patients presented with 1-5 days of acute abdominal pain, which was diffuse in two, left-sided in two, lower abdominal in two, and in the right lower quadrant in two patients.

Spontaneous suburothelial hemorrhage in coagulopathic patients: CT diagnosis.

Objective: The objective of our study was to identify and describe the spectrum of CT findings in patients with coagulopathy-induced suburothelial hemorrhage involving the renal collecting system.

Conclusion: CT findings of suburothelial hemorrhage are often subtle and are best appreciated on unenhanced CT scans because of the high density of the hemorrhage. After contrast injection, uniformly thickened soft tissue enveloping the collecting system is suggestive of this condition.
