The hot quadrate sign is defined as an intense arterial enhancement in the hepatic quadrate lobe, most frequently encountered on CT angiograms in patients with central venous occlusion. It has also been described as focal uptake on technetium-99m (Tc99m) sulfur colloid scans. We present an unusual case of focal uptake in the hepatic quadrate lobe on a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan, corresponding to the hot quadrate sign in a 42-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease and central venous occlusion.

Terrestrial snails that live in hot and dry climates have developed strategies to cope with high summer temperatures. Several species estivate during the warmest months of the years by resting on vertical supports, typically in groups. Understanding how snails choose their estivation sites and aggregate may lead to the development of new management tools in areas where these snails are invasive.

We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient who consulted for swelling of the face and neck after having a pacemaker implantated. Contrast-enhanced chest computerized tomography (CT) confirmed a thrombus within the superior vena cava (SVC). Thus, therapy with oral anticoagulants was initiated, which obtained a good clinical response and resolution of symptoms.
