Our study suggests that patients with known BCG exposure and PI-RADS v2 scores ≤3, showing similar mpMRI findings as demonstrated, may not require prostate biopsy.
Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on 17 patients with suspected complications of Crohn's disease. CT was superior to conventional barium studies and colonoscopy in demonstrating mural, serosal, and mesenteric pathology such as bowel wall thickening (100%), abscess (59%) and phlegmon (6%) formation, and fibro-fatty proliferation of the mesentery (41%). While not advocated as the primary means of evaluating Crohn's disease, CT can provide information vital to the management of complications of this disease.
Two patients with symptomatic fast/slow pathway double responses were evaluated with electrophysiology studies. Chronic palpitations were resistant or worsened by medical therapy. No reentry tachycardias were induced. A nonreentrant paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was documented. Radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway was safely and successfully performed. Patients remain asymptomatic for 16-18 months. Ablation of the slow pathway for this substrate is a viable option.
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.
