Adenomyosis: MRI of the uterus treated with uterine artery embolization.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the MRI features seen after uterine artery embolization and to evaluate the clinical response in patients with adenomyosis.

Materials And Methods: Thirty women with adenomyosis underwent uterine artery embolization and follow-up MRI for 1 year. Of the 30, 27 patients were diagnosed with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis on the basis of MRI before uterine artery embolization.

MR angiography and preoperative evaluation for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging in imaging arterial, venous, and ureteric anatomy in a group of potential laparoscopic renal donors and to compare our findings with those established at surgery.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty-four consecutive patients underwent successful laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Imaging of the kidneys was performed before surgery with MR imaging and breath-hold three-dimensional gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography.

The epidemiology of raw milk-associated foodborne disease outbreaks reported in the United States, 1973 through 1992.

Objectives: This study describes the epidemiology of raw milk-associated outbreaks reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1973 through 1992.

Methods: Surveillance data for each reported raw milk-associated outbreak were reviewed. A national survey was conducted to determine the legal status of intrastate raw milk sales for the period 1973 through 1995.
