The value of angiography in differential diagnosis of tumours of the pelvis is discussed based on 15 cases and the relevant literature. Inflammatory infiltrates and neoplasms arising from the sigmoid colon can be separated from gynaecologic tumours by angiography. In 4 cases with pelvic masses in which differentiation between a myomatous uterus and an ovarian tumour was not possible clinically, unequivocal evidence was cleaned from a selective injection into the internal iliac artery. Angiography is particularly well suited for the delineation of parietal pelvic tumours--especially of vascular malformation.

Background: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a common pathogen causing non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections, primarily affecting the lungs. Disseminated MAC disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hematological malignancies, or those positive for anti-interferon-γ antibodies. However, its occurrence in solid organ transplant recipients is uncommon.

Background: Arginine infusion stimulates copeptin secretion, a surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin (AVP), thereby serving as a diagnostic test in the differential diagnosis of suspected AVP deficiency (AVP-D). Yet, the precise mechanism underlying the stimulatory effect of arginine on the vasopressinergic system remains elusive. Arginine plays a significant role in the urea cycle and increases the production of urea.

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria pose a significant threat to global public health due to the barriers presented by host cells hindering the timely detection of hidden bacteria and the effective delivery of therapeutic agents. To address these challenges, we propose a tandem diagnosis-guided treatment paradigm. A supramolecular sensor array is developed for simple, rapid, accurate, and high-throughput identification of intracellular bacteria.
