The management of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (UTI) implicate to look for risk factors and complications. Bacterial or radiological exams are not recommanded and short course of antibiotic is effective for treating uncomplicated UTI. Complicated UTI needs clinical, bacteriological and radiological exams, longer treatments are recommanded. Recurrent UTI definition is precised in these guidelines.

Objectives: To evaluate cases of persistent apical periodontitis (PAP) and what are the imaging and clinical aspects that could be considered in the PAP diagnosis and in their treatment decision-making process.
Methodology: 423 patients with apical periodontitis at the time of non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) were followed-up for at least 1 year. Periapical radiographic images were used to compare and determine periapical status at each time using the PAI scoring system.

Background And Purpose: Timely reporting of CTA exams impacts management of acute vascular pathology such as large vessel occlusions, arterial dissection, and ruptured aneurysm as well as a variety of acute non-vascular pathologies. In this study, we examine potential modifiable factors impacting the timeliness of CTA reporting performed in stroke code activations.
Materials And Methods: Observational study of stroke code CTA head and neck exams performed at a single health system (3 emergency departments, 1550 inpatient beds) over four years (1/1/2019-12/31/2023).

Background: Following tumor resection, imaging recommendation for the follow-up of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCCA) include frequent chest, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography (CT) imaging. The appropriateness of additional imaging studies is usually derived from their clinical utility. The purpose of this work is to determine the value of chest CT imaging in the follow-up of patients with IHCCA.
