CT colonography: value of scanning in both the supine and prone positions

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of CT colonography when patients were imaged in both the supine and prone positions. We evaluated whether imaging in two positions decreased the number of collapsed colonic segments and increased sensitivity for polyp detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-three patients underwent CT colonography in both the supine and prone positions. Colonic distention for each of the 46 scans was graded. Adequacy of distention for either position alone was compared with that of the combination of the two positions. Polyp data revealed by colonoscopy were reviewed, and the CT data were then retrospectively reviewed for polyp detection. RESULTS: When each scan was considered alone without benefit of the scan obtained in the opposite position, 27 (58.7%) of 46 scans showed inadequate distention. When scans obtained in both positions were considered together, 20 (87.0%) of 23 patients had adequate distention with the grading system used. However, this value increased to 23 (100%) of 23 patients when the reasons for inadequate distention in the three patients were considered. Of the 27 polyps detected with colonoscopy, 21 (77.8%) were also detected retrospectively with CT colonography. Colonoscopy showed 20 polyps that were 5 mm or larger; nineteen (95.0%) of these 20 polyps were also detected retrospectively with CT colonography, nine (47.4%) of which were seen in only one position. CONCLUSION: Use of both the supine and prone positions for patients undergoing CT colonography improves evaluation of the colon and increases sensitivity for polyp detection.     

The incidence of T2-weighted MR imaging signal abnormalities in the brain of cocaine-dependent patients is age-related and region-specific.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cocaine and its metabolites can produce vasospasm, and cocaine-dependent patients are at increased risk for stroke. Based on previous case reports, we hypothesized that the incidence of hyperintense brain lesions observed on T2-weighted MR images would also be increased in asymptomatic cocaine-dependent individuals. METHODS: Sixty-two male "crack" (smoked) cocaine-dependent participants ranging in age from 25 to 66 years were compared with 116 normal male control participants ranging in age from 25 to 80 years. Those with histories of neurologic symptoms or illnesses were excluded. The severity of hyperintense lesions was rated on a 0- to 3-point scale, and ratings of 3 were used in the data analysis as an indicator of a probable pathologic process. Three regions were separately rated: the cerebral white matter, insular subcortex white matter, and subcortical gray matter (basal ganglia and thalamus region). RESULTS: Significantly increased risk of severe lesions was observed in the two white matter regions of the cocaine-dependent group (odds ratio of 16.7 and 20.3) but not in the subcortial gray matter region (odds ratio of 1.4). In the insula subcortex white matter, the risk of lesions increased with age in the cocaine-dependant sample, but remained essentially absent among normal controls through the age of 80 years. In the cerebral white matter, the relationship of age and risk of lesion among normal participants was similar in shape to that in cocaine-dependent participants, but equivalent risk was seen 20 years earlier among cocaine-dependent participants. CONCLUSIONS: Cocaine-dependent participants had a significantly increased age-related risk of white matter damage. The possible clinical implications of this damage are discussed.

Cartilage and synovium of the peroneocuboid joint: an anatomic and histological study

The surface area, thickness, and composition of the articular cartilage of the peroneocuboid articulation and the location of the synovium were investigated in 15 cadaver foot specimens. The articulations of the medial side of the peroneus longus tendon and lateral side of the cuboid were covered with fibrous and hyaline cartilages, respectively. On the lateral tuberosity of the cuboid, there is a facet that has 79.37+/-20.24 mm2 articular cartilage area with an oval shape to conform to that of the articular surface of the peroneus longus tendon (articular cartilage area, 67.35+/-28.53 mm2) with which it articulates. The mean thickness of the articular cartilage of the peroneus longus tendon and cuboid was 0.34+/-0.08 and 0.52+/-0.07 mm, respectively. The peroneocuboid joint has its own joint capsule. The synovial cavity does not communicate with the sheath of the peroneus longus tendon. Synovial membranes were attached to the margins of the articular surfaces of the cuboid immediately peripheral to the cartilage region.     

Leptin-induced increase in sympathetic nervous and cardiovascular tone is mediated by proopiomelanocortin (POMC) products

The mechanism underlying the leptin-induced increased sympathetic nerve activity and cardiovascular tone was investigated in normal rats. The melanocortin (MC) peptides and other fragments derived from proopiomelancortin (POMC) have a diverse array of biological activities and have been implicated in mediating the feeding behavioral responses to leptin. In this study we evaluated the possible involvement of two major products of POMC, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and beta-endorphin, in mediating the effects of leptin on sympathetic activity and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in normal rats. Intraventricular (i.c.v.) cannulas were implanted in normal rats and allowed to recover. On the day of the study the animals were anesthetized with urethane alpha-chloralose and instrumented for the recording of MAP, lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA), and heart rate (HR). To determine the correlation between the leptin response and the POMC products, alpha-MSH and beta-endorphins were also injected into the lateral ventricle. alpha-MSH acted to increase MAP and LSNA while beta-endorphin decreased these parameters. Leptin administration by i.c.v. cannula increased the MAP and LSNA in normal rats. The i.c.v. administration of agouti protein, an alpha-MSH receptor antagonist, prior to leptin infusion blocked this response. Likewise, pretreatment with naloxone a beta-endorphin receptor antagonist also blocked the response to leptin. From these studies we conclude that the acute increased LSNA and MAP in response to i.c.v. leptin may be mediated by increased POMC and its subsequent production of breakdown product alpha-MSH and/or beta-endorphin and it is the subsequent action of alpha-MSH that increases MAP and LSNA by activation of the MC4 receptor. The naloxone antagonism of the leptin response is likely due to the blockade of presynaptic opioid inhibition of the MC4 receptor-mediated pressor response.
