Imaging plays a vital role in the management of oesophageal cancer including diagnosis, staging and follow up. Computerised tomography (CT) is used for staging and follow up, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) having only a limited role. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides optimal information for tumour extent and local nodal involvement. Functional imaging using 2-18 fluoro-deoxyglucose po...

Abstract Introduction Optimal management of anterior penetrating abdominal injuries (A-PAI) is an area ongoing debate. Randomised controlled trials are missing and guidelines based on expert opinion. The accuracy computerised tomography (CT) challenged, hence diagnostic laparoscopies still widely used. Method We retrospectively reviewed the TARN database identifying patients presenting with A-P...

Three cases of multiple cerebral nocardial abscess are presented. All were cured by a combination of chemotherapy and surgery, a unique experience. Early detection, appropriate chemotherapy, absence of underlying immune malfunction, and surgically remediable disease are good prognostic indices in cerebral nocardiosis. If other adverse prognostic factors are absent, however, multiple abscess for...

Rectus sheath haematoma is an unusual, though well recognised condition. It is the most common non-neoplastic condition of the rectus abdominis muscle and sheath.' It may mimic acute intraabdominal pathology and should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen. The diagnosis is easily confirmed using computerised tomography or ultrasound scanning. In this report...
