Exploring the role of CT scouts in expediting MRI in acute stroke.

Emerg Radiol

September 2024

Radiology Department, Mayo Clinic, 4500 San Pablo Road South, Jacksonville, FL, 32224, USA.

Purpose: For acute stroke patients requiring MR examination and unable to provide a reliable history, screening for potentially MRI-incompatible objects (PMIOs) typically necessitates the use of plain-film radiographs (PFRs). However, using a whole body CT scout at the time of non-contrast head CT scans can preclude critical delays. Here, we aim to compare the effectiveness of PFRs and CT scouts in detecting PMIOs.

Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections are a significant public health concern as they can cause serious illness and outbreaks. In England, STEC incidence is highest among children and guidance recommends that children under six diagnosed with STEC are excluded from childcare until two consecutive stool cultures are negative. We aimed to describe the barriers and facilitators to implementing exclusion and the impact of exclusion policies on young children and their families.

Article Synopsis
  • Rowell Syndrome is a rare condition that combines features of erythema exudativum multiforme (EEM) and lupus erythematosus (LE).
  • The new diagnostic criteria include three major criteria (different types of LE, EEM-like skin lesions, and a specific antibody pattern) and several minor criteria (chilblains and certain positive antibody tests).
  • Treatment options are similar to those for EEM and LE, often showing positive results with medications like oral cortisone and azathioprine, and the presented case showed good improvement with topical treatments following a herpes infection and sun exposure.

Turner Syndrome With Y Chromosome and Germ Cells: A Case Report Highlighting the Need to Prioritize Individualized Care.

Urology

October 2024

Division of Pediatric Urology, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Department of Urology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. Electronic address:

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic condition in phenotypic females in which the individual has 1 intact X chromosome and the second sex chromosome is absent or structurally altered Components of Y chromosome (eg, 45,X/46,XY) have been found in 5%-15% of patients with TS; these patients are often referred to as having "Turner syndrome with Y" (TS+Y). The presence of Y chromosome material increases risk for development of gonadal tumors. Historically, prophylactic gonadectomy has been recommended in this population to prevent malignancy, and patients were presumed infertile due to the presence of streak gonads with no germ cells (GCs).
