In addition, evaluation of the relationship of maxillary sinusitis to the type of infundibulum and to anatomical sinonasal variations is also aimed to observe. \u0000Materials and methods: Paranasal sinus computerized tomography images of 491 clinically proven rhinosinusitis cases are analyzed retrospectively by two radiologysts. The length is measured by drawing curve traces and width is measured from the narrowest region for 982 ethmoid infundibula in-total. Maxillary sinusitis of the cases is graded according to the Lund and MacKay score. Type, width and length of ethmoid infundibulum and sinonasal anatomical variations are compared for the cases in terms of having with and without maxillary sinusitis. \u0000Results: Type and length of ethmoid infundibulum are found not to be risk factors for maxillary sinusitis (p>0.05). Length of EI are similar between score 0 and score 1-2 maxillary sinusitis (p>0.05) but width was much more in patients with having score 1 and 2 maxillary sinusitis compared with those not having sinusitis (score 0) (p<0.05). Maxillary ostial closure with according expansion of ethmoid infundibulum is seen in maxillary sinusitis. Sinusitis risk is increased in presence of ethmoid bulla. The other anatomical variations can not be determined as risk factors for sinusitis. \u0000Conclusion: In contrary to general belief, paranasal variations do not constitute risk for maxillary sinusitis apart from ethmoid bulla. Type and trace length of infundibulum are not risk factors for sinusitis. Ethmoid infundibulum is expanded with sinusitis.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.1000270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48674964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This anomaly takes place due to bowel perforation and the consequence is the meconium extravasation into the peritoneal cavity, promoting an exudative inflammatory reaction due to various gastrointestinal pathologies that occurs in neonates or intrauterine. It is worthwhile mentioning that this inflammatory response may result in ascites, fibrosis, and calcification and, in some cases, in cyst formation. Clinical manifestations are non-specific; some of them are: intestinal changes, decrease in the general condition or abdominal physical alterations. In this work, it is described the case of a premature neonate, in which, by physical examination, solid masses in the lower part of abdomen were identified, being afterwards submitted to a thoracic-abdominal x-ray examination. The condition suddenly progressed to sepsis, leading to patient´s death. Bearing all this in mind, this work reports the need of a reinforced standard radiographic image that could be used as a basis in similar cases, helping the diagnosis so that the best treatment strategy may be defined.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":"2017 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.1000271","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41715061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetic foot patients who have \u0000 previously undergone revascularization surgery were excluded from the study. Ultrasound parameters like color, flow, \u0000 calibre, plaque, peak systolic velocity, pulsatility index, resistance index was studied in lower limb vessels and CTA was \u0000 deployed to know the exact level and extent level of occlusion, calcification and presence of collaterals. Clinical outcome \u0000 was studied in terms of admissions, minor and major amputations and mortality. \u0000Results: There were 65 patients (130 limbs; mean age: 58.49 ± 11.04 years) with male predilection (83.08 %). On \u0000 UCD, the above knee arteries had predominantly good color and triphasic flow while broadening of the spectrum and \u0000 monophasic flow was seen in below knee vessels. Dorsalis pedis artery had the lowest peak systolic velocity (58.44 \u0000 ± 39.59 cm/s) and resistance index (0.82 ± 0.31). Atheromatous plaques were predominant in all vessels. On CTA, \u0000 occlusion was seen more in the posterior tibial artery (n=40/130) while calcification was predominant in the femoral \u0000 artery (n=59/130). Collaterals were present in 36.9% limbs. On logistic regression, low resistance index and biphasic \u0000 flow of dorsalis pedis artery on UCD and calcification in the peroneal artery CTA could predict high rate of minor \u0000 amputations. \u0000Conclusion: Involvement of infrapopliteal vessels especially the involvement of dorsalis pedis and common \u0000 peroneal artery could have a bearing on the rate of minor amputations.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.1000269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46101793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uterine and fibroid volumes were determined by T1-weighted MR images. The change in symptoms after procedure and the severity of postprocedural pain were assessed by patients. \u0000Results: Median follow-up period was 23 months (range 21-30 months). None of patients had menorrhagia, 79% had less menstrual pain, and 82% had less or none abdominal bloating or swelling during follow-up. The mean volumes of uterus and largest fibroid decreased 55% and 66% after embolization, respectively. The rate of patients who satisfied with the procedure was 97%. Majority of women (81.3%) had severe pain which lasted for 4.0 ± 3.0 days. They returned to daily acitivities within 5.0 ± 1.1 days, and to work within 7.0 ± 2.1 days. None of patients had persisting discharge, permanent amenorrhoea, or infective complications. \u0000Conclusion: Uterine artery embolization is an effective and safe treatment alternative for ymptomatic uterine fibroids provided that an extensive clinical and radiological evaluation is performed.
