Delayed rupture of a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm after flow diverter placement.

Background: Delayed rupture after flow diverter (FD) placement is a serious complication, and often it leads to death; however, the exact mechanism leading to the rupture remains unclear. Therefore, in this case, study, we report a case of delayed rupture after FD placement and discuss its causes.

Case Description: This study presents the case of a 69-year-old female with multiple aneurysms who underwent FD placement with coil embolization for a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm.

Intraosseous venous malformation of the zygoma: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Venous malformations of the zygoma are rare. Historically, venous malformations have been misrepresented as "hemangiomas". The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomaly (ISSVA) classification is a reasonable classification that leads to appropriate clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.

[Clinical phase trial of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined TS-1 and nedaplatin].

We have treated head and neck carcinoma by concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP). However,this chemoradiotherapy could not show an enormous effect in the advanced carcinoma of Stage III and IV. Therefore,we changed the contents of the chemotherapy, i.

[A case of endobronchial mucormycosis with peculiar bronchoscopic findings].

Small cell lung cancer was diagnosed in a 54-year-old man in 1997. He had received 5 cycles of systemic chemotherapy and thoracic irradiation since 1997, and a favorable response had been achieved. In August 2001, pro-GRP was again elevated, and he was readmitted.

[Study of cockroach allergen in adult asthmatics in Japan].

To study the clinical significance of cockroach allergen in adult asthmatics in Japan, we performed intradermal skin test to four commercial base cockroach extracts. The specific IgE antibody to cockroach was measured in sera by CAP-RAST. Positive rates of immediate intradermal skin response to cockroach extracts were 10.

[Study of how to continue peak flow monitoring for patients with bronchial asthma: questionnaire to continuation and interruption patients].

Since 1993, our hospital has actively pursuing introduction of peak flow monitoring for patients with bronchial asthma. However, a number of patients are found to discontinue PEF monitoring. In order to determine the causes, a comparative analysis of recognition between patients who continued PEF monitoring (continuation group, hereafter) and those who discontinued PEF monitoring (interruption group, hereafter) was conducted through a questionnaire survey.

[Proposal on new formulas for renal depth in the technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy].

Unlabelled: Recently, camera-based techniques to measure effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) have become more popular than single plasma sample techniques because camera-based measurements avoid the necessity of delayed plasma samples and in vitro techniques. The measurements of ERPF are used to estimate the clearance of technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3). However, camera-based techniques are dependent on an accurate estimate of renal depth to correct for soft-tissue attenuation.

[The consideration and performing of pretesting of contrast medium: surveying in Kanagawa].

The pretesting of contrast medium is world widely recognized to be an invaluable method to predict the adverse reactions. It was still required to perform on patients who shall have a contrast examination until recently in Japan. In May of 1990 the contrast drug package insert was reviewed and a statement of "there is no known method to predict the adverse reactions" was included.

[CT finding of right diaphragmatic rupture due to blunt trauma--subhepatic hemothorax].

Owing to the poor detectability of the anatomic location of diaphragm on the parallel plane of computed tomography (CT), capability of CT to predict traumatic ruptured diaphragm has been debated in several reports. A specific hematoma (subhepatic hemothorax) adjacent to the posterior attachment of the right diaphragm was identified on CT. The finding originated from herniated liver that migrated to the posterior thoracic wall as a result of gravity, to separate the hemothorax in the supine position.

Müllerian duct cyst: ultrasonographic and computed tomographic spectrum.

A Müllerian duct cyst (MDC) is the persistent remnant of the Müllerian duct. Reports of symptomatic cases are rare, signs and symptoms include perineal pain, dysuria, infertility, hematuria and genital inflammation. The prevalence of MDC has been previously reported as 4% of newborns and 1% in adult males.
