PURPOSE |
To retrospectively evaluate the prevalence and clinical importance of hepatic lesions considered too small to characterize (TSTC) at initial computed tomography (CT) in women with breast cancer. |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
Approval for this retrospective study was obtained from the institutional review board, which waived the requirement for informed consent. For each woman who received a diagnosis of breast cancer between 1998 and 2002, the authors reviewed the report of the first contrast material-enhanced CT examination that included ... |
RESULTS |
Of 7692 women, 1012 (13.2%) underwent contrast-enhanced CT including liver assessment. The mean age of the 1012 women was 54.6 years (range, 20.7-89.1 years). The median time from diagnosis of breast cancer to initial CT examination was 14.1 weeks (range, -3.7 to 296 weeks). The presence of at least one hepatic lesion ... |
CONCLUSION |
In 92.7%-96.9% of women with breast cancer and hepatic lesions deemed TSTC but no definite liver metastases at initial CT, the lesions represented a benign finding.Novel pathophysiological cause for post‐partum hemorrhage: Case report of post‐partum hemorrhage with occult abnormal artery diagnosed on pelvic angiography |
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of post‐partum hemorrhage (PPH) caused by an occult abnormal artery detected shortly after delivery on pelvic angiography (PAG). Initially, a diagnosis of uterine atony was made because the apparent cause of hemorrhage was not detected via the usual obstetrical exa... |

INTRODUCTION |
Migraine is the most common neurological disorder and the third most common disease worldwide. However, the underlying mechanisms contributing to its development are not completely understood. Symptoms may arise from a combination of dilation-independent vascular events and neurogenic mechanisms interacting throughout... |
RESULTS |
During the crisis, cerebral perfusion exhibits incoherent results. Blood velocity measurements highlight a strong phase lag between left internal carotid artery (ICA) and basilar artery and more importantly right ICA. After a month, parameters came back to standard values. |
CONCLUSION |
The transitory nature of the observed modifications suggests a reversible alteration of the vascular tone of the ICA in patients with migraine. This alteration seems to follow recovery pattern of the patient.The effect of forage to concentrate ratios on the performance of weaner rabbits |
