The impact of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic on rates of pediatric idiopathic intussusception.
Pediatr Radiol
March 2022
Department of Radiology, Boston Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA, 02115, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic on the occurrence of idiopathic ileocolic intussusception, a condition where part of the intestine folds into itself.
- Researchers compared the number of intussusception cases before and during the pandemic by analyzing medical records from 2010 to 2021, with a sharp decline in cases (a 72% drop) during the pandemic.
- The findings suggest that the decrease in intussusception cases supports the idea that infections play a significant role in causing this condition.
Magnetic Resonance-Based Automatic Air Segmentation for Generation of Synthetic Computed Tomography Scans in the Head Region.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
November 2015
Department of Radiation Oncology, Henry Ford Health Systems, Detroit, Michigan. Electronic address:
Purpose: To incorporate a novel imaging sequence for robust air and tissue segmentation using ultrashort echo time (UTE) phase images and to implement an innovative synthetic CT (synCT) solution as a first step toward MR-only radiation therapy treatment planning for brain cancer.
Methods And Materials: Ten brain cancer patients were scanned with a UTE/Dixon sequence and other clinical sequences on a 1.0 T open magnet with simulation capabilities.
Operative indications in recurrent ileocolic intussusception.
J Pediatr Surg
January 2015
Department of Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. Electronic address:
Background: Air-contrast enema (ACE) is standard treatment for primary ileocolic intussusception. Management of recurrences is less clear. This study aimed to delineate appropriate therapy by quantifying the relationship between recurrence and need for bowel resection, pathologic lead points (PLP), and complication rates.

East Midlands Forensic Pathology Unit, Robert Kilpatrick Building, Level 3 Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester LE2 7LX, UK.
With the introduction of targeted coronary artery angiography to post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) it is now possible to assess the coronary arteries and left ventricle after death without, case dependent, the necessity to undertake an invasive autopsy. The purpose of this pictorial review is to act as a walk through aid memoire and educational learning document for radiologists and pathologists alike who may be new to the use and interpretation of targeted PMCT angiography. By using an example scanning protocol, which uses both positive and negative (air) contrast mediums, this pictorial review provides a systematic approach to vessel and ventricular assessment that is based upon clinical cardiac angiography but adapted to PMCT.

Area Funzionale di Chirurgia Generale ad indirizzo gastroenterico, Dipartimento di Oncologia, Endocrinologia e Chirurgia Generale, Università degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II".
Aim: The increase in the average life led an increase of diseases, acute and chronic, not only cardiovascular and respiratory system, but also gastrointestinal. Likewise we see an increase in neoplastic lesions, sometimes diagnosed in advanced stage of disease, not susceptible to radical therapy. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the usefulness, reliability and security of colonoscopy in elderly patients, age 75 years or more.
