Heart risks high in childhood cancer survivors
discuss this article
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Children who survive cancer while they are young are five to 10 times more likely than their healthy siblings to develop heart disease, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. They also found the risks were two to five times greater in people who had been treated with chest radiation and chemotherapy from the anthracycline class of drugs, compared to survivors who had not had those treatments. The findings come from a study of more than 14,000 survivors of childhood cancers. (Source: AuntMinnie.com Headlines)

The development of multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) has led to the acquisition of true isotropic voxels that can be postprocessed to yield images in any plane of the same resolution as the original axially acquired images. This, coupled with rapid MDCT imaging during peak target organ enhancement has led to a variety of means to review imaging information beyond that of the axial perspective. Postprocessing can be utilized to ide...

Early postoperative bleeding after living donor liver transplantation.
discuss this article
We discuss the clinical impacts of early postoperative bleedings after LDLT and CT findings or CT angiographic findings compared with angiography according to the various bleeding causes. Sudden development of hematoma as well as extravasation of contrast material on CT scan are thought to be predictive CT findings of early postoperative bleeding in post-hepatic transplant patients. Careful consideration for these findings can prevent the progression into a catastrophic status that requires surgical management.
