Fever of unknown origin and anaemia as a form of presentation of a rhabdomyosarcoma

2011

Abstract We report a case of fever of unknown origin, in its classical presentation. A wide range of studies were unrevealing, but finally a positron emission tomography/computed tomography allowed us to establish the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma in the pelvic region.

Abdominal Muscle Response During Curl-ups on Both Stable and Labile Surfaces

2000

Abstract Background and Purpose. With the current interest in stability training for the injured low back, the use of labile (movable) surfaces, underneath the subject, to challenge the motor control system is becoming more popular. Little is known about the modulating effects of these surfaces on muscle activity. The purpose of this study was to establish the degree of modulating influence of the type of surface (whether stable or labile) on the mechanics of the abdominal wall. In this study, the amplitude of muscle activity together with the way that the muscles coactivated due to the type of surface under the subject were of interest. Subjects. Eight men (mean age=23.3 years [SD=4.3], me…

Significance of ultrasound for the diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

1986

The sonographic features of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) were evaluated in a 5-year prospective study (1981–1985) at the University Clinic of Pediatric Surgery in Mainz. In 37 cases real-time ultrasound was performed preoperatively to measure muscle thickness, diameter, and length of the pylorus; the recorded values were compared with those of a control group. Muscular wall thickness proved to be the most reliable parameter, while pyloric canal length was the most difficult measurement to obtain. Diameter alone was not adequate to establish the sonographic diagnosis, which depends on the individually and functionally different luminal width and submucosal thickness. Significant sonog…

<title>Flexible neuroendoscopy with laser and microsystem technique</title>

1994

The use of flexible neuroendoscopic techniques in neurosurgical procedures is routinely performed in the spinal canal and in the intracranial subdural space. Treated entities are syringomyelia, tumors with concomitant syrinxes in spinal cord, cystic legions in the subdural and subarachnoid space in the spinal canal as myelomeningoceles.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Die Positronenemissionstomographie zur pr�operativen Lymphknotendiagnostik bei �sophaguskarzinom

2003

Vorraussetzung fur Indikation und Wahl des geeigneten operativen Verfahrens bei Patienten mit Osophaguskarzinom ist ein genaues praoperatives Staging. Ziel der prospektiven Studie war es, zu klaren, ob eine Positronenemissionstomographie mit 18F-Fluoro-Deoxyglukose (FDG-PET) die Genauigkeit des praoperativen Lymphknotendiagnostik gegenuber der Computertomographie (CT) erhoht und die Wahl des operativen Zugangs zur Osophagusresektion beeinflusst. 58 Patienten, 46 Manner und 12 Frauen (Alter 61 Jahre im Mittel), erhielten bei histologisch gesichertem Osophaguskarzinom im Rahmen des Stagings ein FDG-PET von Hals, Thorax und Abdomen sowie ein CT von Thorax und Abdomen. Sensitivitat, Spezifitat …

Druckentlastung im Aneurysmasack nach endovaskulärer Therapie von Aortenaneurysmen*

2000

PURPOSE Stent grafting of aortic aneurysms should result in relief of pressure within the excluded aneurysmal sac, however confirming data are not available. This study evaluates the intra-extraluminal pressure translation and translation of maximum pressure increase (dp/dtmax) into the excluded aneurysmal sac after endovascular treatment of experimental aortic aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental autologous aneurysms were created surgically using a patch from the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle in 12 mongrel dogs. After 12 weeks reconvalescence, endovascular treatment was performed viafemoral access using dacron-covered nitinol stents. Spiral CT and angiography were performe…

Adrenal gunshot wound: Laparoscopic approach. Report of a case

2013

introduction: Although there is no debate that patients with peritonitis or hemodynamic instability should undergo urgent laparotomy after penetrating abdominal injury, it is also clear that certain stable patients may be managed without operation. Controversy persists regarding use of laparoscopy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of gunshot wounds with bullet in left adrenal gland and perirenal subcapsular hematoma. The patients had no signs of peritonitis but in the observation period we noted a significative blood loss, so we performed an exploratory laparoscopy. DISCUSSION: We found the bullet in adrenal parenchyma. The postoperative period was regular and the patient was discharg…

Klassifikation und Therapie von Endolecks nach endovaskulärer Behandlung von abdominellen Aortenaneurysmen

2005

This article describes the classification of endoleaks after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, thereby summarizing the most important problems of this endovascular technique. The correct classification of endoleaks is a prerequisite for interdisciplinary discussion. It is indispensable for professional reporting of the pathological findings and for the decision making as to the adequate treatment of endoleaks. Irrespective of the types of stent graft and property of the material, five endoleak types are defined in the literature: leakage at the anchor sites (type I); leakage due to collateral arteries (type II); defective stent grafts (type III); leakage due to porosity …

CT-Diagnostik von Blutungen in die Muskulatur des Abdomens im Rahmen therapeutischer Eingriffe in das Gerinnungssystem

1992

Eleven patients treated by anticoagulants or lytic therapy suffered bleeding into the abdominal muscles, resulting in neurological symptoms or those of an acute abdomen. By means of CT it was possible to demonstrate the bleeds and to clarify the differential diagnosis, thereby leading to correct treatment. The possibility of early diagnosis of haemorrhages makes CT a suitable and reliable method.
