Background: Chest radiography (CXR) is performed more widely and readily than CT for the management of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but there remains little data on its clinical utility. This study aims to assess diagnostic performance CXR, with emphasis predictive value, severe COVID-19 disease. Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted, 358 chest radiographs were 109 patients (median age 44.4 years, 58 males 30 comorbidities) admitted between 22 January 2020 15 March 2020. Each CXR...
Toxic encephalopathy is a wide spectrum of secondary to insult from toxic substances, with variable clinical presentations minor cognitive impairment severe neurological dysfunction and death. Methadone-induced an extremely rare form which typically demonstrates abnormal imaging findings in the dentate nuclei or cerebellum. This report methadone-induced two toddlers accidental ingestion. They were brought unconscious emergency department tertiary hospital found be cyanotic pulseless,...
Salmonella vertebral osteomyelitis is an uncommon complication of infection. We report a case 57-year-old transgender male who presented with lower back pain for period one month following fall. Physical examination only revealed tenderness over the no neurological deficits. MRI thoracic and lumbar spine spondylodiscitis at T10-T11 T12-L1 right posterior epidural collection T9-T10 level. He underwent decompression laminectomy segmental instrumentation fusion T8 to L3 vertebrae....
BACKGROUND:Amyloid arthropathy and myopathy are complications of amyloidosis that can be associated with non-specific imaging findings, which may challenging to interpret. The report is a case polyarticular amyloid in 56-year-old man multiple myeloma includes description the radiographic, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MRI) findings. CASE REPORT:A presented chronic pain swelling. Soft tissue thickening wrist knee were found on MRI intermediate T1 weighted (T1WI) low T2 (T2WI)...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and was declared a global pandemic World Health Organization on 11 March 2020. A definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 made after positive result obtained reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. In Singapore, rigorous contact tracing practised to contain spread virus. Nasal swabs chest radiographs (CXR) were also taken from individuals who suspected be infected upon their arrival at...
Primary renal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare primary malignancy of the kidney. Diagnosis usually delayed because its lack characteristic clinical and imaging features inherent aggressive nature. We present case SCC in 66-year-old woman with bilateral calculi complex right lower pole mass. The diagnosis was established based on histopathology after nephrectomy.
BACKGROUND:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and associated with severe respiratory disease. There are extensive publications on the chest computed tomography (CT) findings of COVID-19 pneumonia, ground-glass opacities (GGO) mixed GGO consolidation being most common findings. Those interstitial thickening manifesting as reticular typically show superimposed opacities, giving crazy-paving pattern. CASE REPORT:We report case 77-year-old man...
Introduction: Isolated oval window atresia (OWA) is a rare cause of congenital conductive middle ear deafness and may be overlooked owing to the normal appearance external ear. This anomaly has been previously described, although published numbers with both imaging surgical findings are few. Our aim correlate features OWA intraoperative findings. Materials Methods: single-centre retrospective evaluation patients who were diagnosed received surgery from January 1999 July 2006. No new case was...
An affordable and reliable way of confirming the placement nasogastric tube (NGT) at point-of-care is an unmet need. Using a novel algorithm few sensors, we developed low-cost magnet tracking device showed its potential to localize NGT preclinically. Here, embark on first-in-human trial. Six male 4 female patients with from general ward urban hospital were recruited. We used compared that against chest X-ray (CXR). In 5 patients, sensors placed sternal angle, trajectory was reproduced by...
Background: Patients with thyroid nodules commonly present to clinical attention. The usual evaluation includes a through history and physical examination, laryngoscopy, ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) when there is suspicion of malignancy. This case report highlights the entity pseudo-nodules that can resolve spontaneously conservative management. Case Description: A 58-year-old Chinese female in Singapore presented an episode left anterior neck pain swelling started...
Abstract Background To determine the utility of chest radiography (CXR) for assessing and prognosticating COVID-19 disease with an objective radiographic scoring system. Methods A multicenter, prospective study was conducted, forty patients were included. Seventy-eight CXR’s performed on first derivation cohort twenty (median age 47.5 years, 10 females four comorbidities) admitted between 22 January 2020 1 February 2020. Each CXR scored by three radiologists in consensus graded a 72-point...
