Esophageal duplication cyst presenting with stridor in a child with congenital pulmonary airway malformation: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Esophageal duplication cyst (EDC) is a rare developmental aberration originated from the embryonic foregut. It may remain asymptomatic but produce local mass effect on surrounding organs if rapid enlarges. EDC may sometimes accompany with other congenital malformations.

The Influence of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen on the Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Targeted Biopsy versus Saturation Biopsy in Patients with Previous Negative Biopsy.

Objective: We compared the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rates of targeted biopsy (TB) and saturation biopsy (SB) in patients with previous negative biopsy and the accuracy of TB and SB stratified by different serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.

Materials And Methods: Overall 185 patients were enrolled. In the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) group, 65 men underwent TB and SB.

Risk of cancer among cardiologists who frequently perform percutaneous coronary interventions: a population-based study.

Background: Cardiologists who frequently perform percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are exposed to high levels of radiation; therefore, their risk of cancer may be higher compared with other internists or cardiologists who perform fewer PCIs.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database for the 2000-2011 period. A cohort of 542 cardiologists was randomly frequency-matched according to age and sex with four other internists to form a cohort of noncardiologist controls.

Imaging of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of breast.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare superficial soft tissue malignancy. We report a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with DFSP involving the breast. Ultrasound of DFSP revealed a heteroechogenetic breast mass, which showed normal adjacent dermis.

Value of lateral neck radiography for ingested foreign bodies using the likelihood ratio.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of lateral neck radiography and its value in related radiographic findings in the detection of foreign bodies using the likelihood ratio.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study comprised 114 patients who had neck radiography followed by rigid esophagoscopy. Interpretations of the radiographs were correlated with esophagoscopic findings and clinical follow-up for at least 1 month.

"Waffle cone"technique for intra/extra-aneurysmal stent placement for the treatment of complex and wide-necked bifurcation aneurysm.

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms by coiling has become an accepted alternative to surgical clipping (1). In cases of wide-necked and sidewall aneurysms, selective embolization is difficult because of the risk of coil protrusion into the parent vessel. The use of three-dimensional coils, stents (2), and balloon remodeling have all aided the attempt to adequately manage such lesions.

Percutaneous direct puncture embolization for superficial craniofacial arteriovenous malformation.

Endovascular embolization for craniofacial arteriovenous malformation has been used as preoperative adjuvant devascularization or as definitive therapy. However, because the vascular network is complex, embolization via arterial access may be ineffective, risky, incomplete or technically difficult. The purpose of this report is to describe our experience of percutaneous direct venous pouch puncture embolization.

Nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Background: Primary nasal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is the most common cellular subtype seen in nasal lymphomas. It is rare in the Western population but occurs more frequently in Asia, South America, and Mexico. The purpose of this study was to describe the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of primary nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma.

Acute massive subdural hematoma caused by rupture of internal carotid artery aneurysm during angiography: a case report.

We present a case of acute, massive subdural hemorrhage caused by rupture of an internal carotid artery aneurysm during the procedure of cerebral angiography. To our knowledge, a case like the present one has been reported only once in the English-language literature. The incidence, mechanisms, treatment, and prognosis of (1) subdural hematoma, caused by rupture of cerebral aneurysm, and (2) re-rupture of aneurysm during the angiography procedure are discussed.
