The sonographic characteristics of intraabdominal abscesses in 11 foals and intraabdominal lymphadenitis in five foals with Rhodococcus equi infections are presented. Intraabdominal abscesses were usually present in the ventral abdomen adjacent to the ventral body wall, well-marginated, and contained a mixed or complex echo pattern. Lymphadenitis appeared as singular or multiple clusters of lymph nodes of mixed echogenicity adjacent to any portion of the gastrointestinal tract or body wall. Sonographic findings were supported by necropsy examinations, but sonographic measurements consistently underestimated the size of abscess.

Radiodiagnosis, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, IND.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological condition that disrupts women's health due to irregularities in menstrual frequency, duration, and volume, often resulting in a significant impact on daily life and productivity. Accurate diagnosis of AUB is critical but complicated by its varied etiologies and presentations. Recent advancements in imaging techniques, particularly the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA), have enhanced the diagnostic precision of uterine pathologies such as fibroids and adenomyosis.

Background/aim: Cesarean section (CS) is a widely performed operation worldwide but data about uterine closure are lacking. We aimed to evaluate scar niches and compare single-layer and double-layer uterine closure at 6 months following CS.
Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized trial assessed 56 women undergoing single- or double-layer uterine closure.
Introduction: Appropriately stratifying the risk of adnexal masses is of great importance. Many diagnostic algorithms have been devised, most of which rely on ultrasound features. However, some remote areas lack trained sonographers.

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Cardiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford, CA, USA.
Background: Patients requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) support post-Norwood operation constitute an extremely high-risk group.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively aimed to evaluate the relationship of hyperoxia with mortality and other clinical outcomes in patients who required ECLS following Norwood operation between January/2010 and December/2020 in a large volume center.
Results: During the study period 65 patients required ECLS post-Norwood.
Radiofrequency Ablation for Solitary Autonomously Functioning Thyroid Nodules: Multicenter Study from Latin America.
Thyroid
December 2024
Oncology Center, Oswaldo Cruz German Hospital, São Paulo, Brazil.
Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) represent ∼5% of all thyroid nodules and often necessitate definitive treatments such as surgery or radioiodine (I), both of which have inherent risks. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as an effective and safe therapeutic option for managing AFTNs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of RFA for solitary AFTNs in various countries across Latin America.
