Objective We evaluated the influence of renin–angiotensin system (RAS) on intestinal inflammation and fibrosis. Design Cultured human colonic myofibroblast proliferation collagen secretion were assessed following treatment with angiotensin (Ang) II Ang (1–7), their receptor antagonists candesartan A779, ACE inhibitor captopril. Circulating RAS components in patients without IBD. Disease outcomes IBD treated inhibitors blockers (ARBs) retrospective studies. Results Human was reduced by (1–7)...
To assess the efficacy of conservative management and embolisation in patients with spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage.Single-centre retrospective case-control study haemorrhage treated conservatively or embolisation. Patients aged ≥ 18 years were identified from CT imaging reports stating a diagnosis similar images reviewed for confirmation. Exclusion criteria included recent trauma, surgery, vascular line insertion, other non-spontaneous aetiology. Datapoints analysed treatment...
Abstract Objectives To identify the rate of clinically significant post-embolisation syndrome (csPES) in our cohort patients after uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic fibroids, and to risk factors associated with development csPES. Methods Retrospective case-control study. All that underwent fibroids between 18-month period 1 March 2022 September 2023 were recruited. csPES was defined as maximum pain score on visual analogue scale > 5 out 10, plus at least one of: morphine...
Abstract Background Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) presents significant management challenges for people with cystic fibrosis (pwC). We evaluated the treatment outcomes and identified risk factors associated need surgical intervention in patients admitted DIOS. Method conducted a retrospective case series of 96 encounters DIOS over 20‐year period, observing between cases medical versus those requiring operative intervention. To our knowledge, this is largest Australian study...
Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic medical imaging reports has the potential to improve efficiency. Although perception of radiologists, radiographers, students and patients on AI use image reporting been explored, there is limited literature non-radiologist clinicians' opinion this topic.Single-centre online survey targeting staff conducted from May August 2021 at a tertiary referral hospital Melbourne, Australia. Survey questions revolved around level comfort acting...
Trauma to the pelvic ring and associated haemorrhage represent a management challenge for multidisciplinary trauma team. In up 10% of patients, bleeding can be result an arterial injury mortality is reported as high 89% in this cohort. We aimed assess rate after embolisation whether earlier improved mortality.
Abstract Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging tractography is a noninvasive technique that enables the visualization and quantification of white matter tracts within brain. It extensively used in preoperative planning for brain tumors, epilepsy, functional neurosurgical procedures such as deep stimulation. Over past 25 years, significant advancements have been made acquisition, fiber direction estimation, tracking methods, resulting considerable improvements accuracy. The mapping...
Brain atrophy is part of the aging process and accelerated by neurodegenerative diseases, so an understanding background heritability brain volume essential. The purpose this study was to determine in middle advanced age East Asian adults, group less studied ethnicity not previously studied. 3T magnetic resonance images were obtained volumetric analyses conducted for a total 74 individuals, 20 monozygotic twin pairs (mean 61y min 41y max 75y) 17 dizygotic 64y 85y). Total further seven...
Conventional transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent insertion is an established procedure with high rates of technical success. However, alternative techniques may increase success in the setting challenging anatomy or limited resources. Originally described as a salvage porto-caval approach, we present modified gun-sight porto-hepatic TIPS technique.A retrospective review was performed identifying patients who underwent over 1-year period. Six procedures were identified,...
Clinical radiology is a popular career. However, academic in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) has not traditionally been strength of the specialty which focus on clinical medicine influenced by corporatisation specialty. The aim this study was to review source(s) radiologist-led research Zealand, identify areas relative deficiency propose plans improve output.A manual search performed all manuscripts seven ANZ journals, where corresponding or senior author radiologist. Publications between...
Abstract Introduction Computed tomography‐guided cervical nerve root corticosteroid injections are a commonly performed procedure for radiculopathy. There have been major complications such as spinal cord infarction and posterior circulation stroke reported mostly with X‐ray fluoroscopic‐guided methods, however, there is relatively little data on the safety of newer CT ‐guided methods. The purpose this study was to identify any evaluate rate minor from in tertiary public hospital. Methods...
Abstract Introduction Diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are challenging to assess. Non‐contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) offers a safe alternative in renal impairment. The study objective is evaluate accuracy of lower limb quiescent‐interval single‐shot (QISS) MRA and pedal QISS‐arterial spin‐labelled (ASL) for detection significant stenosis diabetic PAD. Methods Combined QISS QISS‐ASL was performed 32 PAD (20 male, 12 female; mean 69 years; 8 critical...
We present a fatal case of amoebic encephalitis due to Acanthamoeba spp. in an immunosuppressed male. Amoebic can be diagnostic challenge as clinical features are non-specific and imaging findings resemble other more common diagnoses such tumours, haemorrhage or from causes. Here, we the this review reported cases throughout literature.
Splenic injury is a rare complication of colonoscopy, estimated to occur in 0.020 0.034% procedures, with 30-day mortality 3.6% (1-3). Of the three major severe adverse events during colonoscopy (perforation, bleeding, and splenic injury), has highest but rarest (1). The spleen attached colonic flexure by splenocolic ligament, suggesting that manipulation colon may cause direct tension or impaction on hilum as mechanism (2,3). Patients typically present within 24 hours abdominal pain...
Abstract Objectives A 2021 safety alert restricted endovascular gelfoam use in Australia and resulted an embargo on sales to Interventional Radiology departments. This study aimed show that is safe a population of trauma patients with pelvic injury, discuss the basis recent controversies. Methods Retrospective cohort was conducted between 1 January 2010 21 May for who underwent embolization arterial haemorrhage. Primary outcome rate adverse events related intravascular administration....
