Clinical Diagnosis and Value Analysis of Multilayer Spiral CT scan in early Pancreatic Cancer in retired athletic patients

An intriguing result of esophageal malignant growth resection is pancreatic disease. This study aimed to explore the demonstrative worth of multi-facet twisting processed tomography (MSCT) in malignant pancreatic growth to work on clinical comprehension, assess a fruitful, helpful, and painless indicative methodology, and make the basis for treatment. Pancreatic disease (PC) is the deadliest harm on the planet, with a five-year endurance pace of just 5%. Although absolute careful resection is the main corrective treatment for pancreatic disease, just around 20% of recently analyzed athletic patients get their pancreas eliminated. Retired athletic patients with harmful pancreatic development at this point have advanced sickness when they are dissected, inferable from the shortfall of early aftereffects and the inclination of pancreatic adenocarcinoma to go after connecting structures or metastasize at a starting stage. In this way, there is a high demise rate. Early recognizable proof of PC is urgent for further developing retired athletic patient endurance rates. PC is breaking down using handled tomography (CT) as well as alluring resonation imaging (MRI) with appealing resonation cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), or endoscopic ultrasound for biopsy or fine-needle want (EUS). In spite of the fact that multi-identifier line registered tomography assumes a significant part in the determination of PC, MRI with MRCP takes into consideration a more thorough examination of the morphological adjustments in the pancreas parenchyma and pancreatic channel, taking into account prior recognition of malignancies. In specific situations where CT and EUS are not absolutely demonstrative, positron discharge tomography procedures could assist with the finding. (AU)

Neumonía lipoidea exógena y anorexia nerviosa: caso clínico / Exogenous lipoid pneumonia and anorexia nervosa: a case report

La neumonía lipoidea exógena es una entidad infrecuente y con una presentación clínica inespecífica. Su diagnóstico temprano es clave para prevenir la fibrosis pulmonar que produce su cronificación. Presentamos el proceso diagnóstico de una paciente de 51 años, con clínica de tos con expectoración amarillenta, sin síntomas de infección ni fiebre, de larga evolución. En latomografía axial computarizada se observaron infiltrados pulmonares bilaterales de tipo alveolar. Se realizó un lavado broncoalveolar en el que se obtuvo un material amarillento de origen desconocido, que no permitió alcanzar ninguna conclusión clara. La criobiopsia pulmonar fue la prueba clave que llevó al diagnóstico de neumonía lipoidea exógena, en probable relación con la anorexia con hábito purgativo que la paciente sufría de forma crónica. Hallado el origen del problema, la paciente se encuentra actualmente en proceso de recuperación y cambio de hábitos, sin tos ni expectoración.(AU)

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is a rare entity with non-specific clinical presentation. Early diagnosis is key to prevent pulmonary fibrosis in cases of chronic exogenous lipoid pneumonia . Here, we present the diagnostic process in a 51-year-old female with chronic cough and yellow sputum, no fever nor signs of infection. The computerized axial tomography scan showed alveolar infiltrates in both lungs. We per-formed a bronchoalveolar lavage and collected a yellowish material, but no clear result were obtained from its analysis. Cryobiopsy of lung tissue was key for the diagnosis ofexogenous lipoid pneumonia . This may be related to the chronic anorexia nervosa that the patient suffers, associated with purgative habits. After identifying the cause of the symptoms, the patient is recovering, changing her habits, and has no cough nor sputum.(AU)

Prevalence and morphometric analysis of the retromolar canal in a Spanish population sample: a helical CT scan study

Background: The retromolar canal (RMC) is an anatomical variation of the mandibular canal (MC) whose identification and study should be considered given its implication in the surgical procedures of the retromolar area. The prevalence of the RMC widely varies according to previous studies and may be influenced by the followed study method. This work aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the RMC in a Spanish population sample. Material and Methods: For this purpose, 225 CT scan images (with a higher resolution than the cone beam CT used in other previous studies) from the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia were analyzed. The Osirix MD® radiological image analysis system was applied to analyse the dimensions, location in the retromolar area and morphologic characteristics of the RMC by classifying them according to their typology. Furthermore, the relations between the RMC and gender, age and laterality were studied. Results: RMC prevalence was 23.1%. No significant relation between the presence of the canal and gender, age or laterality was found. Type Ia was the commonest type with a prevalence of 40.8%. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the RMC should be considered a frequent anatomical variation whose complete study is very important in daily clinical practice.(AU)

Interobserver and intraobserver variability in the radiological assessment of sialolithiasis using cone beam computed tomography

Background: Data regarding the inter- and intraobserver variability in the radiological assessment of sialolithiasis using cone beam computed tomography are missing in the current literature. This study assessed the inter- and intraobserver variability in the radiological assessment of sialolithiasis using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods: In 107 patients, 130 salivary glands (65 parotid and 65 submandibular) with clinical signs of obstruction were assessed by four independent observers; 2 residents OMFS and 2 experienced OMFS. The observers analyzed the CBCT images and determined the absence or presence of one or more salivary stones in the affected gland. This procedure was repeated after three months. Results: Interobserver agreements showed kappa values of 0.84 for the parotid gland, and 0.93 for the submandibular gland. Intraobserver agreements for the whole group reported kappa values between 0.83 - 0.95. There was no significant difference between residents and experienced OMFS. Conclusions: Due to the good inter- and intraobserver agreement, CBCT appears to be a reproducible imaging modality for detecting salivary stones in patients with signs and symptoms of obstructed parotid and submandibular glands.(AU)

Impact of cone-beam computed tomography for the identification and management of an oral portal of entry in patients with infective endocarditis. A Delphi study

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare and life-threatening disease. Cutaneous portal of entry (POE) is predominant for IE, but an oral POE is the second most frequent source. Thus looking for and treating an oral POE in IE patients is of critical importance in order to reduce the risk of IE relapse or recurrence. The objectives of this study were: 1) To reach a consensus on decision-making following the detection of an oral POE on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) while they were not identified using the current recommended approach in IE patients (oral examination and orthopantomogram: OPT). 2) To determine whether this consensus differs when regarding the microbiology of IE. Material and Methods: Twenty oral or maxillofacial surgeons participated to this Delphi study. The questionnaire was based on five radiological cases (OPT and matching CBCT) with two scenarios according to the objectives of detecting oral POE in an IE patient (curative in case of oral causative microorganism, and preventive if not) and different therapeutic approaches (surgical or conservative treatment, no treatment) for each of them. Consensus was defined as an agreement rate of ≥75%.Results: The response rate was≥85%. After four rounds, consensus was achieved for all proposals. CBCT changed the decision-making of experts in four cases. In one case, the decision was influenced by the IE microbiology toward a more radical approach in case of oral causative microorganism. Conclusions: In IE patients, CBCT changed markedly the decision-making of experts by eradicating more oral POE than when using OPT. This could reduce the risk of IE relapse and recurrence.(AU)

Clinical significance of multi-slice spiral CT, MRI combined with gastric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer

Purpose To explore the application value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with gastric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer. Methods The subjects of study were 109 gastric cancer patients with T stages admitted to our hospital for diagnosis and treatment from December 2016 to December 2018. All the patients were examined with MSCT, MRI and gastric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography before operation to observe corresponding imaging results. T staging of gastric cancer patients was conducted according to the examination results, which was then compared with postoperative pathological staging. It was performed to analyze the accuracy of the three diagnostic methods and combined diagnosis of gastric cancer T staging. Results The sensitivity of MSCT in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer was 60.00%, 67.74%, 72.22%, 76.47%, the specificity was 95.24%, 88.46%, 86.30%, 94.56% and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 87.16%, 82.57%, 81.65%, 91.74%; the sensitivity of MRI in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer was 68.00%, 70.97%, 77.78%, 76.47%, the specificity was 92.86%, 88.46%, 91.78%, 95.65%, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 87.16%, 83.49%, 87.16%, 92.66%; the sensitivity of gastric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer was 80.00%, 83.87%, 86.11%, 82.35%, the specificity was 97.62%, 92.31%, 91.78%, 97.83%, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 93.58%, 89.91%, 89.91%, 95.41%; the sensitivity of combined MSCT, MRI and gastric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer was 88.00%, 93.55%, 97.22%, 94.12%; the specificity was 100%, 97.44%, 95.89%, 98.91%; and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 97.25%, 96.33%, 96.33%, 98.17%, respectively (AU)

Suplementación en osteosístesis de fracturas de humero proximal con aloinjerto de peroné / Fibular strut graft augmentation for open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures

Las fracturas de húmero proximal constituyen la tercera fractura osteoporótica en frecuencia. Con una población cada vez más añosa y con la osteoporosis como uno de los principales factores de riesgo de fracaso de la osteosíntesis, se requieren nuevas técnicas de mejora de la fijación que impidan el desplazamiento en varo de la cabeza humeral. En los últimos años no sólo se han mejorado los sistemas de placas al añadir tornillos de bloqueo sino que además se han desarrollado técnicas como la suplementación con tornillo inferomedial, la cementación de los tornillos o el aporte de injerto estructural. En este estudio presentamos dos casos de fracturas de húmero proximal en pacientes con mala calidad ósea que fueron tratados con aloinjerto estructural de peroné intramedular y hacemos una revisión bibliográfica al respecto

Proximal humerus fractures constitute the third osteoporotic fracture in frequency. With an increasingly elderly population and with osteoporosis as one of the main risk factors for osteosynthesis failure, new fixation improvement techniques are required that prevent varus displacement of the humeral head. In recent years, not only have plate systems been improved by adding locking screws, but techniques such as inferomedial screw supplementation, screw cementation or structural grafting have also been developed. In this study, we present two cases of fractures of the proximal humerus in patients with poor bone quality who were treated with structural allograft of the intramedullary fibula and we make a bibliographic review in this regard
