IntroductionPolyarteritis nodosa can on rare occasions manifest itself as vasculitis of the gallbladder. Patients typically present with right upper quadrant pain and are initially worked up for cholecystitis. The definitive diagnosis is then usually based on surgical and histopathological findings.Case presentationIn this case a 23-year-old Caucasian female presented with a 3 week history of right upper quadrant pain and fevers.ConclusionThe clinical pathway and imaging findings of a rare case of gallbladder vasculitis as a manifestation of polyarteritis nodosa are demonstrated.
Purpose
This paper seeks to show appreciation for the collective endeavour of work practices based on varying degrees of dependence, interdependence and mutuality between at least two people. Such dependencies have to be concerned with how talent is used and how this use is an interaction between people, a process called talenting. The aim of this paper is to provide a method to explore talenting.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper provides a brief overview of recent debates relating to talent management (TM). This paper argues that TM seldom pays attention to work practices where performance is frequently a collective endeavour. A mapping method is explained to identify work practices and obtain narrative data. This paper provides a case to explore talenting in West Yorkshire Police.
Findings
In total, 12 examples are found and 3 are presented showing the value of various forms of dependency to achieve outcomes.
Research limitations/implications
TM needs to move beyond employment practices to work practices. There is a need to close the gap between traditional TM employment practices, usually individually focused, and work practices which are most likely to require a collective endeavour.
Practical implications
There needs be ongoing appreciation of talenting to add to TM activities.
Social implications
This paper recognises a more inclusive approach to TM based on work performance.
Originality/value
This paper, to the best of the authors’s knowledge, is probably the first enquiry of its kind.
Extrapulmonary deposition of macroaggregated albumin particles on lung perfusion scintigraphy occurs in the presence of right-to-left shunting, as demonstrated in this case of portosystemic shunting related to superior vena cava obstruction by germ cell tumor of the mediastinum. The case demonstrates the importance of examining tracer deposition within the entire field of view on (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin perfusion lung scintigraphy for extrapulmonary findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
