AI Article Synopsis
- Pressure-injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are commonly used for injecting contrast during CT scans, and while they are typically safe, complications can occur.
- This case review highlights three instances where PICC tips migrated after contrast pressure injections, with some migrating into the pleural cavity, leading to complications.
- The report aims to raise awareness about this specific complication, which had not been previously identified at the institution, and is classified as a Level 4 evidence case series.
Article Abstract
Pressure-injectable peripherally inserted central catheters are now widely used for contrast pressure injections for CT scans. While they are generally regarded as safe, they are not free from complication. In this case review, we present three cases of PICC tips migrating post-CT contrast pressure injection including into the pleural cavity and subsequent complications, to raise awareness of this complication not previously encountered in our institution. Level of Evidence Level 4, Case Series.

Efficacy of bolus injections of landiolol hydrochloride as premedication in coronary artery CT angiography.
Insights Imaging
January 2025
Institute of Radiology, LKH Graz II, Graz, Austria.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of bolus injections of landiolol hydrochloride as premedication in coronary artery CT angiography (CCTA).
Methods: The study population consisted of 37 patients (17 female; median age, 56 years; IQR, 19 years; range, 19-88 years) who underwent CCTA after intravenous injection of landiolol hydrochloride due to a heart rate > 60 bpm. Landiolol hydrochloride was administered in a stepwise manner until a heart rate of ≤ 60 bpm was achieved or a maximum dose of 60 mg was reached after six injections.
An improved endwall-injection technique for examining high-temperature ignition of lubricating oils in shock tubes.

Ignition of the lubricating fluid in a mechanical system is a highly undesirable and unsafe condition that can arise from the elevated temperatures and pressures to which the lubricant is subjected. It is therefore important to understand the fundamental chemistry behind its ignition to predict and prevent this condition. Lubricating oils, particularly those with a mineral oil base, are very complex mixtures of thousands of hydrocarbons.

Background: Erectile dysfunction is a condition with a rapidly increasing prevalence globally with a strong correlation to the increase in obesity and cardiovascular disease rates.
Aim: The aim of the current study is to investigate the potential role of tubacin, a histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor, in restoring erectile function in a hypercholesterolemia-induced endothelial dysfunction model.
Methods: Thirty-nine male C57Bl/6 J mice were divided into 3 groups.
