Iopamidol was compared with Renografin-60 (meglumine diatrizoate, Squibb) in a controlled, randomized double-blind study of 40 patients undergoing peripheral arteriography for arteriosclerotic occlusive disease to determine which agent caused less discomfort. Each patient was evaluated for objective signs of discomfort and subjective feelings of pain and heat. Monitoring was achieved by multiple physical examinations, chemical tests, electrocardiograms, and intra-arterial pressure recordings. It is concluded that iopamidol is safe and causes significantly less patient discomfort than Renografin-60.

Combination drug therapy prevents CIAKI by suppressing ER stress-induced apoptosis.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Tianjin Chest Hospital, No. 261 of Taierzhuang South Road, Tianjin, 300121, China.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is an important clinical complication that occurs after the application of contrast agent in percutaneous coronary intervention. The pathogenesis of CIAKI is complex. Studies have shown that cell apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in renal tubular injury in CIAKI.

Background: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for intestinal perforation from meconium ileus (MI) based on findings from plain X-ray images.
Methods: Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with MI hospitalized in two tertiary centers between 2011 and 2022 were included in this study. We retrospectively reviewed clinical parameters and assessed plain X-ray images from 0 to 5 days of age.
"The Itsy-Bitsy Water Bead Went Down the Baby's Mouth. Will Drinking Gastrografin Help to Flush It Out?".

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, Tacoma, Washington.
Article Synopsis
- - Foreign body ingestion, especially of superabsorbent polymer water beads (like Orbeez), is common in children and can lead to serious issues like bowel obstruction, often requiring surgery for removal.
- - In a study testing various solutions, water beads placed in gastrografin showed a significant reduction in size compared to those in water or a water-gastrografin mix, indicating that gastrografin helps shrink the beads.
- - The findings suggest gastrografin could be a non-surgical treatment option for water bead ingestion, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in clinical settings.
Role of Intraoperative Cholangiogram in Major Liver Resection and Complex Bilio-enteric Bypass Surgery.

Department of Gastrointestinal and General Surgery, Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Background Advances in surgery have decreased postoperative morbidities but bile leak is still a major issue. Intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) is considered better in identifying bile leaks and anatomical delineation making its expanded use in hepato-biliary surgeries. Objective To assess the role of intraoperative cholangiogram in major hepatectomy and complex bilio-enteric bypass surgery.

International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Task Group 113 is developing reference values of organ and effective dose coefficients (DCs) for radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography imaging exams. In support of these efforts, our focus is on pediatric diagnostic fluoroscopy. Contrast agents used during clinical examinations are an important consideration of the work undertaken by the Task Group.
