Perineal scanning using linear array ultrasound was used as an alternative to radiologic cystourethrography in the investigation of female urinary incontinence. The technique provides similar information to that obtained by fluoroscopy without exposing the patient and the physician to radiation. The bladder neck and urethra as well as the urodynamic catheter are readily visualized. Familiarity with the unusual configuration of the sonogram needs to be attained.

Background: Perianal fistula refers to an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the perianal skin or perineum. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in accurately characterizing perianal fistulas, which informs surgical strategies and helps minimize recurrence.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a single diagnostic imaging center in Addis Ababa, utilizing retrospectively collected data from May 2023 to June 2024.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to define the angiosome of a cutaneous artery arising from the caudal gluteal artery and identify landmarks for its use as an axial pattern flap.

Methods: This was an experimental anatomic study done between July 2019 and July 2021 with a retrospective review of CT scans. Twenty postcontrast CT scans in client-owned dogs, unrelated to this study, were evaluated for identification of a potential angiosome over the hip region.

Article Synopsis
  • Radiotherapy for pelvic cancers relies on accurately defining clinical target volumes (CTV), particularly for the inguinal lymphatic drainage region, to enhance treatment effectiveness.
  • This study utilized F-FDG PET/CT scans to identify the patterns of lymph node metastases (LNM) in the groin area of patients with pelvic malignancies, providing specific measurements for optimal CTV delineation.
  • Results indicated that LNM distribution varies around the femoral artery, leading to specific distance recommendations for CTV margins to cover 95% of LNM, aiming to improve disease control in radiation therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the effectiveness of outside-in hip arthroscopy without traction for treating hip synovial osteochondromatosis in five patients aged 28-54 years.
  • Results showed significant improvements in pain (VAS score) and hip function (Harris hip score) after surgery, with patients experiencing relief from groin pain and better hip range of motion.
  • Minimal complications were noted, and only one patient had a recurrence of the condition without significant symptoms, indicating that this method is a safe and effective treatment option.
