Aim: Rectal intussusception (RI) and external rectal prolapse (ERP) are associated with anal sphincter dysfunction. The aim of this study was to examine sphincter function with anal acoustic reflectometry (AAR) in RI and two distinct phenotypes of ERP termed high and low "take-off".

Methods: A prospective study of patients with RI and ERP attending a tertiary pelvic floor unit.

Surgical repair through the arterial switch operation (ASO) is the only definitive treatment in patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA). A crucial step during the reimplantation process is transfer of coronary arteries (CA) to the neo-aorta. A potential cause of CA stenosis is the presence of a high implantation of CA (HICA), defined by the presence of coronary ostium located above the sinotubular junction (STJ) of the aorta.

: The aim of this study was to analyze a group of patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) examined with ECG-gated cardiac CT (ECG-CT), focusing on the assessment of the clinical reasons for cardiac CT, cardiovascular abnormalities coexisting with their BAV, and coronary artery stenosis. : A detailed statistical analysis was conducted on 700 patients with a BAV from a group of 15,670 patients examined with ECG-CT. : The incidence of a BAV in ECG-CT was 4.

The relationship between the environment and marine animal small-scale behavior is not fully understood. This is largely due to the difficulty in obtaining environmental datasets with a high spatiotemporal precision. The problem is particularly pertinent in assessing the influence of environmental factors in rapid, high energy-consuming behavior such as seabird take-off.
