To report the severity and extent of pulmonary thromboembolic disease (PTD) in COVID-19 patients undergoing computed tomography angiography (CTPA) a tertiary centre.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare, but represent the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract. Tumor resection is treatment choice for localized disease. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib, sunitinib) standard therapy metastatic or unresectable GISTs. GISTs usually metastasize to liver and peritoneum. Bone metastases uncommon. We describe three cases bone in patients with advanced GISTs: two women (82 54 years age), one man (62 age). Bones involved spine,...
Purpose: We analyzed overall survival (OS) following radioembolization according to macroscopic growth pattern (nodular vs infiltrative) and vascular invasion in intermediate–advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Between September 2005 November 2013, 104 patients (50.0% portal vein thrombosis [PVT], 29.8% infiltrative morphology) were treated. Results: Median OS differed significantly between with segmental lobar or main PVT (p = 0.031), but was 17 months both those patent...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate reliability scout CT (sCT) lateral radiograph, in terms diagnostic accuracy and intra- interobserver agreement detection vertebral fractures (VFs).300 examinations thoracic and/or lumbar spine were collected independently analysed by 3 musculoskeletal radiologists 2 different sessions. A semi-quantitative approach used for VF assessment on sCT, morphometric analysis performed when a suspected. Results multiplanar sagittal reconstructions...
Renal patients with a tunnelled haemodialysis line are at risk of fibrin 'sheath' formation which can lead to occlusion. Dysfunctional lines best treated by catheter exchange new subcutaneous tunnel; however, there is scarring, venous stenosis, potential loss valuable access as well the infection. We report retrospective review our experience using intraluminal plasty (TuLIP) in 11 over 16 months sheath on pre-existing catheters. All responded treatment median patency post TuLIP reaching 112...
A 57-year-old woman with metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma presented to the emergency department massive haemoptysis. Her blood pressure was 96/69 mm Hg a heart rate of 65 beats per minute. Laboratory tests showed mild coagulopathy (INR 1.3) for which vitamin K and tranexemic
Bronchial diverticula have been described as a common radiological finding in smoker patients with COPD, but the specificity of this sign should be further investigated. Thus, aim our study was to evaluate prevalence cohort non-smoker subjects. Between February and July 2012, 2438 were admitted Radiology Unit undergo chest CT. Among them, we enrolled 121 non-smoking (78/121-64.5% females, 43/121-35.5% males), different age (57.0±20.7 years-range: 12-88), without any respiratory symptoms,...
Abstract Purpose This study aims to report the incidence, severity and extent of pulmonary thromboembolic disease (PTD) in patients with confirmed COVID-19 who have undergone CT angiography (CTPA) a tertiary centre. Materials Methods is retrospective analysis all undergoing CTPA between 23 rd March 2020 19 th April The presence PTD, location involved lobes were documented. pattern parenchymal abnormalities including fibrosis, lymph node enlargement pleural effusion evaluated by two...
