In recent years transabdominal bowel sonography has become a first-line modality both in the diagnosis and in the follow-up of inflammatory bowel diseases, especially Crohn’s disease, reaching values of sensitivity ranging from 84 to 93 %. In particular, its role is very useful in the early diagnosis of complications such as stenosis, phlegmons, abscesses and fistulae. According to the available literature the ability of US to provide information about disease activity is still under debate and further studies are necessary. In this regard, of fundamental importance is the use of additional techniques such as color- and power-Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. The purpose of this paper is to report the main sonographic intestinal and extraintestinal findings detectable in Crohn’s disease. 相似文献

Purpose To review and analyze all CT scans of the cases of Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) in children diagnosed in our institution.
Materials and methods A retrospective analysis of 33 children with BL between the years 2003 and 2005 seen in our institution was undertaken. Twenty-nine
male and four female patients from age 3 to 16 years (with a mean age 5.9 years) were reviewed.
Results The gastrointestinal tract was involved in 19 patients (57.5%), kidneys in 9 (27.2%), peritoneum in 8 (24.2%), liver in 4
(12.1%), spleen in 3 (9%), adrenals in 3 (9%), and pancreas in 1 patient (3%). Extra-nodal head and neck involvement was seen
in eight patients (24.2%). Bone involvement in four (12.1%), lung in three (9%), heart in two (6%), skin in two (6%), and
testis in one (3%) of these patients. Abdominal lymph nodes were enlarged in 21 children (63.6%), while cervical lymph nodes
were enlarged in 8 (24.2%).
Conclusion CT proved to be an invaluable tool in the characterization of the disease processes in these children. In addition, it provided
us with useful information about the anatomical distribution, patterns of involvement, as well as complications of BL. 相似文献

Background To estimate the clinical benefit of CT enterography (CTE) in patients with fistulizing Crohn’s disease and describe the appearance
of fistulas at CTE.
Methods Crohn’s patients who had undergone CTE, which diagnosed an abscess or fistula, were identified. A gastroenterologist reviewed
clinical notes prior to and following CTE to assess the pre-CTE clinical suspicion for fistula/abscess, and post-CTE alteration
in patient management. A radiologist reassessed all fistula-positive cases, which were confirmed by a non-CT reference standard,
to describe their radiologic appearance.
Results Fifty-six patients had CT exams identifying 19 abscesses and 56 fistulas. There was no or remote suspicion of fistula or abscess
at pre-imaging clinical assessment in 50% of patients. Thirty-four patients (61%) required a change in or initiation of medical
therapy and another 10 (18%) underwent an interventional procedure based on CT enterography findings. Among 37 fistulas with
reference standard confirmation, 30 (81%) were extraenteric tracts, and 32 (86%) were hyperenhancing compared to adjacent
bowel loops. Most fistulas (68%) contained no internal air or fluid.
Conclusion CTE detects clinically occult fistulas and abscesses, resulting in changes in medical management and radiologic or surgical
intervention. Most fistulas appear as hyperenhancing, extraenteric tracts, usually without internal air or fluid. 相似文献

Uhl’s anomaly is an extremely rare condition of unknown cause characterized by complete or partial absence of the right ventricular
myocardial layer, which is replaced by nonfunctional fibroelastic tissue. The disease causes progressive right-sided heart
failure, increased right-sided cardiac pressure, massive peripheral edema, and ascites. Patients usually present in infancy
and rarely survive to adulthood. The disease appears to be congenital in origin. Diagnosis was previously made at autopsy,
but advances in imaging now permit diagnosis by echocardiography or cross-sectional imaging (computed tomography or magnetic
resonance). We present a case of a 51-year-old patient with Uhl’s anomaly who underwent placement of a ventricular assist
device as a bridge to cardiac transplantation, and discuss CT findings. 相似文献

CT enterography (CTE) is a technique using neutral oral contrast, intravenous contrast and thin cut, multiplanar CT acquisitions
to optimize small bowel imaging. One of the primary indications for CTE is the detection and evaluation of Crohn’s disease.
This article summarizes the advantages/disadvantages, scanning technique, imaging findings, performance and pitfalls of CTE
for the evaluation of Crohn’s disease. 相似文献

Sister Mary Joseph’s nodule (SMJN), which is known as a malignant tumor metastasized to the umbilicus, is a rare condition.
We report ultrasonic findings of SMJN secondary to ovarian cancer in a 66-year-old woman. The umbilical tumor was observed
as a hypoechoic mass with punctate hyperechoic foci. A pathological specimen obtained by needle biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma
with psammoma bodies. A comparison of the ultrasonographic findings with the pathological findings of the resected specimen
suggested that the hyperechoic foci corresponded to psammoma bodies. When hyperechoic foci are observed inside SMJN by ultrasonography,
adenocarcinoma from ovarian cancer should be included in the differential diagnosis. 相似文献

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastro-intestinal tract (approximately 2% of population),
and arises from improper closure and absorption of the omphalomesenteric duct. Very few cases of Meckel’s diverticulitis on
the mesenteric side have been reported in the surgical literature, and no reported cases have been documented on preoperative
imaging. We report a 65-year-old woman presenting symptoms and signs of acute abdomen with an initial suspicion of acute appendicitis.
MDCT imaging revealed a mesenteric abscess in the right lower quadrant at the level of the distal ileum as a complication
of Meckel’s diverticulitis on the mesenteric side. The patient recovered after a diverticulectomy without the need for a small
bowel resection. This case demonstrates that MDCT is a fast imaging technique that may be helpful in the emergency setting
for the preoperative diagnosis of an unusual complicated MD on the mesenteric side. 相似文献

BackgroundMass communication research suggests that the media influence both what a population thinks about and how it thinks about an event or situation by controlling what is covered and how topics are framed. One medium, popular women’s magazines, has published depression-related articles for decades. However, little is known about the content and frame of these articles.ObjectiveThe research sought to determine what women’s magazines published about depression between 1980 and 2000.DesignArticles published on depression in the top eight circulating women’s magazines, between 1980 to 1985 and 1995 to 2000 were retrieved and analyzed using qualitative media analysis methodology.ResultsBetween the two periods, the magazines increased the number of published articles on depression and increasingly framed it as a treatable but stigmatized illness.ConclusionWomen’s magazines, which regularly publish information on depression, have high circulation rates, resulting in millions of exposures to their messages. Psychiatric nurse-authors have an opportunity to influence these messages. 相似文献

Referrals for bariatric surgery have currently increased due to the need for more effective interventions in the management
of severely obese patients. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is currently one of the preferred procedures, and internal hernias
are the main causes of late postoperative complication. Petersen’s hernia is a less common finding in most published papers
compared to transmesocolic hernia, however, it seems to be increasing in incidence (in our service, eight cases which have
been tomographic diagnosed in 2 years, were confirmed by laparoscopic surgery). The clinical findings are not specific, usually
with abdominal pain, associated or not with abdominal distention and vomiting. In this context, imaging exams have an important
role in the early diagnosis and surgery of this condition, with multislice computed tomography being the most accurate method.
The aim of this pictorial essay is to the demonstrate the main CT findings associated with Petersen’s hernia in patients who
underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. 相似文献

Background
In Australia, there is an increasing demand for registered nurses in primary health care. Registered nurses graduating from university typically enter the workforce via supported transition to professional practice programs in acute-care hospital settings. A prospective strategy to create a sustainable primary health care workforce is to develop comparable transition programs in primary health care settings, such as general practice. We developed, implemented, and evaluated Australia’s first transition to professional practice in primary care program.Aim
To explore the experiences and perceptions of graduate registered nurses and practice nurses participating in a novel transition to professional practice in primary care program.Methods
Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with graduate registered nurses (n = 4) and their preceptors (practice nurses, n = 5) on completion of the program.Findings
Three themes emerged from the graduate registered nurse interviews: opportunities for education and clinical development, job satisfaction, and career progression opportunities. Graduate registered nurses were satisfied with the available learning opportunities, indicated a career in primary health care could be potentially rewarding, and anticipated moderate career progression opportunities within general practice. Preceptor themes included program positivity and early career opportunities. The preceptors were positive about the program and believed it supported the graduate registered nurses to become confident and competent. However, both the graduate registered nurses and preceptors perceived an acute-care hospital transition to professional practice program was necessary to gain adequate nursing skills, even if they intended to have a future career in primary health care. Furthermore, they appeared to believe that a career in general practice is more appropriate for “older nurses”.Discussion
These beliefs may be a barrier for transition to professional practice in primary care programs to develop and support a sustainable primary health care workforce.Conclusions
Improved primary health care transition programs, policy, and educational strategies are required. 相似文献17.
