Published: June 2010

Congenital anomalies of the urinary tract system are common. The ectopic pelvic kidney is a rare anomaly about 1:2500 live births, left side being more common. Here we are reporting a case of left ectopic kidney with non rotation and morphologically normal right kidney. The case was found during routine dissection in the department of anatomy in an adult male cadaver. There were no other anomalies observed.

Sci Rep

Laboratory of Neuroanatomy, Department of Normal and Clinical Anatomy, Chair of Anatomy and Histology, Medical University of Lodz, ul. Żeligowskiego 7/9, 90-752, Łódź, Poland.

The present meta-analysis aimed to provide the most detailed and comprehensive anatomical description of bronchial arteries (BAs) using data available in the literature. Adequate knowledge of the normal anatomy and morphological variations of BAs can be clinically significant; for example, this approach can prevent potential risks while undertaking bronchial artery embolization (BAE) procedures and, ultimately, lead to better patient outcomes. Major medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library were searched.

Introduction: Primary mucinous cystadenoma is a very rare lesion in the spleen, with only a few reported cases available in the literature. Ectopic pancreatic or enteric tissue and invaginated splenic capsular epithelium are assumed to be the origin of mucinous cystadenomas of the spleen. We present the first reported case in Ethiopia.

Background: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare but, serious obstetric condition that has continued to pose difficulties in its diagnosis and management. The clinical presentation takes various forms, mostly nonspecific, leading to the delay in diagnosis and management. With a high degree of suspicion, the diagnosis can be made by an abdominal ultrasound particularly in the early trimesters.

Intravascular Sympathetic Stimulation to Facilitate Catheter Ablation of Premature Ventricular Complexes.

JAMA Cardiol

December 2024

Section for Cardiac Electrophysiology, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Importance: Infrequent intraprocedural premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) limit the efficacy of catheter ablation. Intravascular stimulation of sympathetic nerves via vertebral veins (VVs) has been used to activate cardiac sympathetic tone and may promote PVCs.

Objective: To characterize the ability of direct electrical sympathetic stimulation via VVs to induce PVCs at the time of catheter ablation.

Preprocedural Screening Tool to Guide Nonpulmonary Vein Trigger Testing in First-Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.

Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol

December 2024

Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Background: Patients undergoing first-time atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can benefit from targeting non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers. Preprocedural identification of high-risk individuals can guide planning of ablation strategy. This study aimed to create a preprocedural screening tool to identify patients at risk of non-PV triggers during first-time AF ablation.
