Computed Tomography Findings in a Case of Uterine Rupture as a Complication of Pyometra.

Uterine rupture in the setting of pyometra is a rare occasion, with an incidence of less than 0.5%. The clinical manifestation of a perforated pyometra is non-specific; therefore, it can mimic many other causes of acute abdomen, such as perforated viscus, acute appendicitis, or diverticulitis, which poses unique challenges to diagnosis solely based on clinical information.

The Zurkurnai ECG Pattern: A Novel ECG Pattern of the High-Risk Features of Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

Acute pulmonary embolism is an important differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute shortness of breath. However, the overlapping clinical presentation between acute coronary syndrome, aortic dissection, pneumonia, and heart failure made the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism very challenging in a limited resources center. We present a case of acute pulmonary embolism with an uncommon ECG pattern that was initially misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome.

Pure ballistic sonic pressure wave lung injury on computed tomography (CT) and plain radiograph.

Sonic pressure wave should be taken into consideration in all ballistic injury. We review a young gentleman with ballistic injury of his lateral chest wall. The bullet trajectory passed through the lateral chest wall.

Percutaneous nephrostomy versus retrograde ureteral stenting for acute upper obstructive uropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Acute obstructive uropathy is associated with significant morbidity among patients with any condition that leads to urinary tract obstruction. Immediate urinary diversion is necessary to prevent further damage to the kidneys. In many centres, the two main treatment options include percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and retrograde ureteral stenting (RUS).
