[Squamous Cell Papilloma of the Urinary Bladder].

We report a case of squamous cell papilloma of the urinary bladder, which is an extremely rare disease with only 15 cases reported in the Japanese and English literature. The case was in a 76-year-old woman. She was referred to the department of urology because multifocal tumors of the urinary bladder were found by computed tomographic scan during an examination for acute enteritis.

Impact of intravascular ultrasound-guided minimum-contrast coronary intervention on 1-year clinical outcomes in patients with stage 4 or 5 advanced chronic kidney disease.

This study aims to elucidate 1-year clinical outcomes using this technique for patients with stage 4 or 5 advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Research has proven that imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces contrast volume significantly; however, only short-term clinical benefits have been reported. Minimum-contrast (MINICON) studies are based on the registry design pattern to enroll PCI results in patients with advanced CKD stage 4 or 5 comorbid with coronary artery disease.

[Angiomyolipoma with Epithelial Cysts (AMLEC) of the Kidney].

A 49-year-old man was demonstrated to have two tumors in the right kidney by computed tomographic scan during an examination for cholelithiasis. One was a fat rich solid tumor which was clinically diagnosed as angiomyolipoma, and the other was an unconfirmed cystic tumor. Cholecystectomy and radical nephrectomy were performed.

[Successful Weekly Nanoparticle Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel Therapy for a Case of Gastric Cancer with Oncological Emergency of Liver Metastasis].

An 82-year-old man with far-advanced gastric cancer underwent palliative distal gastrectomy. After operation, he was treated with S-1 therapy and maintained stable disease during 3 courses of chemotherapy. However, he stopped taking the drug according to self-judgment.

Hepatic Relaxation Times from Postmortem MR Imaging of Adult Humans.

Purpose: To measure T1 and T2 values of hepatic postmortem magnetic resonance (PMMR) imaging.

Materials And Methods: We performed hepatic PMMR imaging of 22 deceased adults (16 men, 6 women; mean age, 56.3 years) whose deaths were for reasons other than liver injury or disease at a mean of 27.

Possibility of visualization of gastrothorax based on unenhanced postmortem computed tomography/PMCT.

We present a fatal case of a gastrothorax due to an acute gastric volvulus resulting from a Bochdalek hernia. A 5-year-old boy without previous medical history was brought to our institution in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest and was subsequently pronounced dead. Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) of the torso showed abdominal organs involving the lower section of the esophagus up to the entire stomach, the left side of the transverse colon, the entire spleen, and the tail of the pancreas herniated into the left thoracic cavity.
