Radioembolization using beta-emitting yttrium-90 microspheres is being increasingly used for the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. It is a form of intra-arterial brachytherapy which delivers intense radiation to liver tumors with little embolic effect; this mode of action results in unique post-treatment imaging findings. It is important to understand these imaging findings to ...

V. Jain A.N. Ellingson W.R.K. Smoker SUMMARY: We report a case of rhabdomyolysis due to acetaminophen overdose involving the lateral pterygoid muscles bilaterally, in addition to the other muscles of the abdomen and pelvis. To the best of our knowledge, involvement of the head and neck muscles by rhabdomyolysis has not been reported previously. The isolated involvement of the lateral pterygoid ...

We observed a bilateral and symmetrical variation of the anterior belly of the digastric muscle during the dissection of a 35-year-old female cadaver. The accessory muscle bundles were arranged in a cross. These bundles were found superficial to the mylohyoid muscle and deep in the platysma. Such a variation from perfect symmetry has not been previously reported. To avoid misinterpretation of r...

Likert, Likert-type, and ordinal-scale responses are very popular psychometric item scoring schemes for attempting to quantify people's opinions, interests, or perceived efficacy of an intervention and are used extensively in Physical Education and Exercise Science research. However, these numbered measures are generally considered ordinal and violate some statistical assumptions needed to eval...

The aim of this report was to describe the computed tomography features of injected carboxymethylcellulose and how it can be mistaken for tumor recurrence. Carboxymethylcellulose is a low-density injectable indicated for short-term vocal fold augmentation. When used in patients with head and neck cancer, differentiating this agent from a neoplastic recurrence can be difficult on imaging. The im...

partial volume), or disease-related.3 Disease-related artefacts have been reported to include impacted mucus in the bronchi, perivascular edema, or pulmonary artery sarcoma. However, as far as we are aware, this is the first description of structural changes (such as presented by our 2 patient) causing anatomical distortion of the pulmonary arteries, that in turn produced intravascular turbulen...
