Rapunzel syndrome is a rare clinical entity in pediatric patients with history of trichotillomania and trichophagia that has only been mentioned few times the literature. It characterized by abnormal gastric bezoar formation sometimes extends to duodenum, jejunum, or colon. Here, we present case 16-year-old previously healthy female patient who had prolonged hospitalization due complications related significant led massive bleeding superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-duodenal fistula...

Furosemide is a potent diuretic that affects water transfer across the respiratory epithelium, which closely related to transepithelial potential difference (PD). Water critical factor determines mucus transport; an important lung defence mechanism removes particles and microorganisms from system. The aim of present study was investigate acute effects furosemide hypovolaemia on tracheal PD properties. A total 36 male mixed-breed dogs were submitted anaesthesia, mechanical ventilation...

Aortoesophageal fistula as a cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is very rare event with high immediate mortality rate. Some the causes include foreign bodies, post-surgical complications, and malignancy. The following case describes how esophageal cancer invaded walls descending aorta, leading to formation pseudoaneurysm that subsequently fistulized into esophagus, secondary radiotherapy treatment. This highlights importance evaluating thoracic aorta before during treatments,...

A ressonância magnética é ferramenta importante para a detecção e caracterização dos tumores adrenais. O conhecimento das diferentes apresentações primários secundários à sua correlação com dados da histologia são essenciais o correto raciocínio diagnóstico. Este artigo revisa os aspectos que podem estreitar diagnóstico diferencial adrenais, dando ênfase histológica daqueles mais comuns.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess technical success, efficacy, and complications combination transarterial embolization (TAE) followed by percutaneous ablation in treating stage cT1b central renal tumors. Material Methods: An institutional registry was reviewed for patients who underwent TAE computed tomography (CT)-guided from 2007 2018. Twenty-eight consecutive (median age 69 years; range 45–89 years) with tumor size ranging 25 58 mm (average 45 mm), including 24 T1b...

Objective: The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) is a reporting system for thyroid nodules detected with sonography proposed by the ACR. scoring punctate echogenic foci (PEF) increases TI-RADS score leads to biopsy many nodules, otherwise found clinically. aim this study was assess risk malignancy mixed solid without PEF, cytologic correlation. Materials Methods: sonograms ultrasound-guided biopsies were performed, at University Iowa...
