Cutaneous metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma after kidney transplant: a case report and review of the literature.

Objectives: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal human cancers. Each year in the United States, about 42 470 individuals are diagnosed with this condition, and 35 240 die, despite advances in imaging, medical treatment, and surgical intervention. Often, 80% to 90% of pancreatic cancers are diagnosed at the locally advanced or metastatic stage.

Horseshoe kidneys: an underutilized resource in kidney transplant.

Objectives: Although the number of patients awaiting renal transplant is rapidly increasing, the donor pool has remained relatively stable. Horseshoe kidneys, a common renal fusion anomaly, can provide a useful solution to the ever increasing gap between supply and demand.

Materials And Methods: These kidneys can be transplanted, en bloc, into a single recipient or divided and transplanted into 2 recipients.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the kneeling technique of stress radiography for the evaluation of posterior knee laxity.

Background: Stress radiography provides an objective tool to measure posterior knee instability. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability has been reported for the Telos device, but it has not been studied using the kneeling technique.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of measurements made using kneeling stress radiography to quantify posterior knee instability.
