The author discusses a "case of traditional hysteria" reported by Pierre Schmit, the first physician (1855-1866) of the Centre Hospitalier Neuropsychiatrique of Ettelbruck (Luxemburg), founded in 1855. Like Louise Lateau, a celebrated Belgian mystic living in the second half of the XIXth century, the patient suffered from ecstasy and stigma. The therapies of hysteria in this time are discussed: blood-letting, electrotherapy, clitoridectomy...

Cardiac Computed Tomography-Derived Left Atrial Volume Index as a Predictor of Long-Term Success of Cryo-Ablation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Am J Cardiol
February 2021
Department of Cardiology, Kepler University Hospital, Medical Faculty, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Linz, Austria.
Patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) are frequently treated with catheter ablation. Cryo-ablation has been established as an alternative to radiofrequency ablation but long-term outcome data are still limited. This study aimed at elucidating the influence of the left atrial volume index (LAVI), derived from cardiac computed tomography (cCT) data, on the long-term outcome of ablation-naïve AF patients, after their first cryo-ablation.

Department of Cardiology, Med Campus III, Kepler University Hospital Linz, Medical Faculty of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Krankenhausstr. 9, Linz, Austria.
Aims: As in vivo real-life data are still scarce, we conducted a study to assess the safety and feasibility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with a leadless pacemaker system.
Methods And Results: In this prospective non-randomized interventional trial, we enrolled 15 patients with an MRI conditional Micra® leadless pacemaker system to undergo either a 1.5 T or 3.

Department of Cardiology, Kepler University Hospital Linz, Med Campus III, Krankenhausstraße 9, 4021, Linz, Austria.
Background: There are limited data on patients with leadless cardiac pacemakers (LCP) undergoing magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of this prospective, single-center, observational study was to evaluate artefacts on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images in patients with LCP.
Methods: Fifteen patients with Micra™ LCP, implanted at least 6 weeks prior to CMR scan, were enrolled and underwent either 1.
Pediatric spine imaging post scoliosis surgery.

Many orthopedic articles describe advances in surgical techniques and implants used in pediatric scoliosis surgery. However, even though postoperative spine imaging constitutes a large portion of outpatient musculoskeletal pediatric radiology, few, if any, radiology articles discuss this topic. There has been interval advancement over the last decades of the orthopedic procedures used in the treatment of spinal scoliosis in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Diagnostic Imaging Department, IWK Health Centre Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
We report a case of a 10-month-old girl who presented with a 10-day history of emesis that became bilious on the last day. The initial evaluation suggested small bowel obstruction. An upper gastrointestinal study confirmed the normal location of the duodenojejunal junction with normal rotation and no evidence of midgut volvulus.
