To evaluate immediate and long-term outcomes of bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) for the treatment haemoptysis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), to clarify factors that influence recurrence.Of 398 who underwent BAE between January 2004 June 2009, 169 were retrospectively reviewed. All had either a history TB or current diagnosis TB. Follow-up ranged from 1 day 66 months.Haemoptysis was stopped markedly decreased, subsequent clinical improvement, 163 (96.4%); 50 symptoms...

Background Rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a life-threatening condition accompanied by hemorrhage. Transarterial embolization/chemoembolization (TAE/TACE) can be used as the first-line treatment to achieve initial homeostasis. Purpose To investigate outcome TAE/TACE for spontaneous ruptured HCC and determine prognostic factors affecting survival. Material Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinicoradiologic data 47 patients (8 women, 39 men; median age 64.4 years) with serum...

GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers have been widely used as position sensors in precision agriculture. ManyGPS manufacturers report accuracy using stationary test data. However, most agricultural applications, such tillage,planting, spraying, and harvesting, which are under dynamic conditions, mobile operations. In thisstudy, we developed a method to evaluate the linear parallel-tracking applications. Itis proposed that pass-to-pass is important criterion evaluating performance...

A 67-year-old woman presented with memory impairment and behavioral changes.Brain MRI indicated hepatic encephalopathy.Abdominal CT scans revealed an intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt that consisted of two tracts to the aneurysmal sac communicated directly right vein.The large tract was successfully occluded by embolization using newly available AMPLATZERTM Vascular Plug II small coils.The patient's symptoms disappeared after closure she remained free recurrence at 3-month follow-up evaluation.

Life-threatening, delayed hemorrhage after self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) insertion for malignant biliary obstruction is very rare. Clinical manifestations, radiologic characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of this complication are not well-known.To present the clinical findings, endovascular treatment life-threatening, secondary to SEMS placement.A total six patients (five men one woman; mean age, 65.5 years) with arterial bleeding placement bile duct were recruited between 2000...

To identify reliable CT features and assess the diagnostic performance of 64-multidetector (MDCT) in diagnosing non-traumatic gastroduodenal perforation (GDP).We retrospectively reviewed 136 scans patients with surgically proven gastrointestinal during 7 years. 92 had GDP 44 other sites perforation. were evaluated sensitivity, specificity likelihood ratios each feature estimated.The cause was peptic ulcer 90 patients, gastric cancer one patient, foreign body duodenal diverticulum patient....

Ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition. Detection of ectopic on CT images rare. In this case, we describe the findings interstitial both before and after rupture. If demonstrate presence strong enhancing ring-like mass in pelvis, should be considered.

Inadvertent left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-great cardiac vein (GCV) anastomosis is a rare complication of coronary bypass graft surgery.Patients with iatrogenic aortocoronary fistula (ACF) were usually treated surgical repair, percutaneous embolic occlusion coil or balloon.We report case LIMA to GCV successfully embolization and protected main intervention through the transfemoral approach.Percutaneous transcatheter in acquired ACF appears be feasible, safe time-sparing technique.

Chemical application is very hazardous work in the confined spaces under canopy of anorchard. An autonomous guidance system was developed for a track-type agricultural vehiclethat could be used such working condition. The proposed steer agriculturalvehicle by tracking overhead guide rail, which installed on original frame structure.The consisted an 80196kc microprocessor, inclinometer, interfacecircuits actuators steering operation and ground speed control, control algorithm.<br><br>Steering...

Background/Aims: Various strategies to expand the ablation zone have been attempted using hepatic radiofrequency (RFA).The optimal strategy, however, is unknown.We compared RFA with an internally cooled wet (ICW) electrode and vascular inflow occlusion.Methods: Eight dogs were assigned one of three groups: only (group A), ICW B), Pringle maneuver C).The diameters measured on gross specimens, volume was calculated.Results: The greatest in group B (1.82±1.23 cm 3 ), followed by C (1.22±0.47cm...

This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 70-150 μm doxorubicin drug-eluting bead (DEB) transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with those 100-300 DEB-TACE as first-line treatment in patients hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We retrospectively investigated 72 who underwent TACE DEBs (n = 40) or 32) for HCC a tertiary center between March 2013 May 2019. Initial response adverse events were assessed using modified Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors National Cancer Institute...

To evaluate the feasibility of using covered stents vs. bare in a model central vein stenosis with an arteriovenous graft created to mimic conditions hemodialysis patients.In 7 mongrel dogs, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene-covered nitinol stent was placed one common iliac and contralateral vein. Arteriovenous grafts were bilaterally between femoral artery induce endothelial damage. Neointima formation compared at 12 weeks microscopy histochemical staining.Two dogs excluded due thrombosis...

할 수 있다는 장점이 있다(11). Purpose: To compare the usefulness of Doppler ultrasonography and renal scintigraphy in assessment shortand long-term function transplanted kidneys. Materials Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases 79 patients who underwent technetium-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid on same day, within 4 days transplantation. Image parameters were evaluated for statistical differences. Results: There was a strong positive correlation between glomerular filtration rate (GFR)...

Purpose: We wanted to examine the usefulness of multi-detector CT (MDCT) with multiplanar reformations for evaluating location, thickness and presence or absence intraluminal gas in normal appendix adults. Materials Methods: From December 2004 June 2005, we evaluated appendices 427 consecutive adult patients who were scanned 16-slice MDCT. All these had no clinical findings appendicitis. There 251 men 176 women. The age range was 19-84 years (mean age: 55 years). contrast-enhanced MDCT scans...

Abstract Rationale: Adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors are a very rare combination of double primary pancreas tumor. Patient concerns: A Whipple operation was initially performed on 64-year-old man to remove an adenocarcinoma. Four years after the operation, surveillance- computed tomography revealed abnormal findings pancreas. Recurrent adenocarcinoma tumor involving different sites remnant were simultaneously detected characterized magnetic resonance imaging. Diagnoses: The patient...
