Methenamine salts have been traditionally used in the veterinary and human medicine, but its use is sometimes associated with some side effects.Toxicopathological effects of methenamine salt have always been a major concern. There is scantly information available about the lesions of methenamine compound in embryo. The objective of this study was to determine the teratogenic effects of methenam...

Radiation is an important modality for cervical and upper-thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Delineating the lymph node clinical target volume (CTVn) for EC remains a challenging task. The present paper retrospectively analyzes the distribution of affected lymph nodes of cervical and upper thoracic ESCC on CT images to provide a reference for determination of CTVn. The cases of...

Malignant tumors in the umbilical region are uncommon, although they represent more than 10% of malignant neoplasms that affect the skin of the anterior wall of the abdomen. This anatomical region is home to numerous vascular and embryological connections with the abdominal organs, which favors the appearance of metastases derived from different visceral tumors. Nonetheless, primary umbilical t...

Infrarenal abdominal aortic and descending thoracic aneurysms are the most frequently coexisting aortic aneurysms and pose problems deciding priority of treatment, timing of interventions, and minimizing the risk of paraplegia. An 81-year-old man presented with a 5.8-cm descending thoracic and a 5.0-mm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (A, note two renal arteries on the right). The thoracic ...

Knowledge of the characteristics of thoraco-abdominal trauma in children is important to optimize the imaging work up while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum. Because of the plasticity of the pediatric rib cage, rib fractures are infrequent, and severe parenchymal injuries may be present in the absence of rib fracture. Mediastinal injuries are unusual. The increased mobility of solid intr...

Helically cut thoracic aortic strips (from rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs) in a state of low to moderate tone and under the influence of alpha-receptor blockade relaxed in response to isoproterenol. Propranolol blocked these relaxations. Helically cut thoracic aortic strips from cats and abdominal aortic strips from rats, rabbits, and cats were not relaxed by isoproterenol. In addition, aortic ...

Malignant mixed germ cell tumors,though rare overall, are the most common type of malignant ovarian neoplasms in young and adolescent girls. These tumors are rapidly growing and can metastasize. We report a case of 13-yr-old girl who presented at SHKM GMC, Nalhar, Mewat, Haryana, India in December 2013 with huge abdominal lump of a malignant mixed germ cell tumor comprising both immature terato...

In this study, l-131-MIBG imaging was performed in 44 patients with clinical suspicion of tumors originating from neuro-endocrine system. The patients were referred to our department following plasma and urinary measurement of epinephrine, norepinehrine and vanilmandelic acidfVMA). Radionuclide imaging was performel as a comparative or confirmatory measure in all patients who had previous...
