Two cases of delayed opacification of multiple irregular cystic spaces are reported in unilateral congenital multicystic kidney. This finding should be added to the basic excretory urographic sings of poor function, cystic spaces on total body opacification, and calyceal crescents, and indicates the need for delayed films in all such cases. Reevaluation of the necessity for further diagnostic study and nephrectomy are discussed.

Purpose: Severely myopic eyes have been associated with high posterior capsule opacification (PCO) incidence. Although it has been reported that myopic eyes have weaker or more delayed capsule adhesion than emmetropic eyes, it is unclear whether/how dioptric power and posterior curvature of IOLs affect IOLs' affinity for the posterior lens capsule (PLC) and their PCO potential.

Methods: To investigate this, acrylic foldable IOLs with increasing dioptric power of 6.

Article Synopsis
  • HARM is an indicator of blood-brain barrier damage linked to negative outcomes in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke caused by blocked large blood vessels (AIS-LVO).
  • The study investigated whether poor venous outflow (VO) is associated with higher rates of HARM in patients after thrombectomy, finding that patients with bad VO experienced significantly more HARM.
  • Key findings showed that patients with poor VO had worse stroke severity scores, larger ischemic tissue damage, and a higher likelihood (31%) of developing HARM post-treatment compared to those with good VO (10%).

Article Synopsis
  • Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon (CSFP) is a condition where coronary arteries show delayed blood flow even though they appear normal in angiograms; this study aimed to assess the impact of atorvastatin on left ventricular (LV) strain in CSFP patients.
  • The study involved 51 patients receiving 40 mg of atorvastatin daily for eight weeks, with left ventricular function measured using echocardiograms before and after treatment.
  • Results showed significant improvements in LV strain and function after atorvastatin treatment, but it did not significantly affect right ventricular function or pulmonary artery pressure.

Isolated sphenoid sinusitis (ISS) is a rare but potentially serious condition, often leading to severe complications due to delayed diagnosis and treatment. This case report discusses a 75-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with severe left-sided headache and neck pain. Diagnostic imaging revealed isolated sphenoid sinusitis with prevertebral extension, a rare occurrence that highlights the potential for deep neck space involvement.
