The indeterminate adrenal lesion.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
With the increasing use of abdominal cross-sectional imaging, incidental adrenal masses are being detected more often. The important clinical question is whether these lesions are benign adenomas or malignant primary or secondary masses. Benign adrenal masses such as lipid-rich adenomas, myelolipomas, adrenal cysts and adrenal haemorrhage have pathognomonic cross-sectional imaging appearances. However, there remains a significant overlap between imaging features of some lipid-poor adenomas and malignant lesions. The nature of incidentally detected adrenal masses can be determined with a high degree of accuracy using co...

Extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumors: radiologic findings with histopathologic correlation.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
We present rare uterine and hepatic MRT and their computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound imaging features with histopathologic correlation. Although the final diagnosis is based largely on histopathology, radiologists should include MRT in their differential considerations, regardless of tumor location, when they are dealing with an extremely aggressive tumor of early childhood.

The authors report the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography(PET)/computed tomography (CT) findings of a rare case of growth hormone-secreting pituitary carcinoma with multiple metastatic lesions to the skeleton. A 31-year-old male had presented with acromegaly and had received transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary tumor and adjuvant radiotherapy. However, the tumor recurred with local invasions and the patient underwent more resections and adjuvant chemotherapy. Several months later, the patient developed rising levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and whole-body FDG-PET/CT scanning revealed multi...

In conclusion, PVAMS have a more distal distribution in the sheep uterine vasculature, compared to TGMS. Such differences in partition, already described in the kidney embolization model, can ultimately explain the different clinical outcome reported with these two types of microspheres in uterine fibroid embolization.

The positive effects of sports on the cardiovascular and musculoskeleal systems are widely accepted. Nevertheless, sports also can cause injury and overuse leading to sport-specific problems, which are often a challenge in diagnosing and treatment. The history of the sport-related injury is crucial for further differential diagnosis. Careful inspection, palpation and functional testing can reveal the possible pathology and lead to an effective strategy in the diagnostic assessment using radiographic tools such as sonography, X-ray and MR imaging (MRI). In muscle and tendon injuries sonography can provide ready to use i...

Conclusion: This study shows that increased IMT of the common carotid artery after RT is radiation-dose-related. Therefore it is important to monitor IMT, which can be used as an imaging biomarker for early diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease in patients who have had radiotherapy for treatment of cancer of the head and neck and who are at increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis in carotid arteries.

Atomic force microscopy study on chlorpromazine-induced morphological changes of living HeLa cells In Vitroemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Chlorpromazine (CPZ)-induced morphological changes of living human cervical carcinoma cells were investigated by atomic force microscopy in near physiological condition. The results showed that the cell morphology changed visibly with time in the presence of CPZ (>21 µM). The cell membrane shrank gradually and detached finally from the substrate. After being treated with CPZ for 50 min, the cell volume increased by about 27.6% while its projective area (cell adhered to the substrate) decreased by about 12%. The mechanism was also discussed.

The RBE of 3.4 MeV alpha-particles and 0.565 MeV neutrons relative to 60Co gamma-rays for neoplastic transformation of human hybrid cells and the impact of culture conditions.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The neoplastic transformation of human hybrid CGL1 cells is affected by perturbations from external influences such as serum batch and concentration, the number of medium changes during the 21-day expression period and cell seeding density. Nevertheless, for doses up to 1.5 Gy, published transformation frequencies for low linear energy transfer (LET) radiations (gamma-rays, MeV electrons or photons) are in good agreement, whereas for higher doses larger variations are reported. The (60)Co gamma-ray data here for doses up to 1.5 Gy, using a low-yield serum batch and only one medium change, are in agreement with publishe...
