AbstractRound (helical) atelectasis is a little-known form of pulmonary collapse. It is thought to occur secondary to lung compression from pleural effusion or following therapeutic pneumothorax. Its occurrence is favoured in patients with exudative pleural effusions and extensive pleural thickening. It presents radiographically as a pulmonary pseudotumour, and experience with this entity and its pathogenesis are discussed.

摘要:

It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to review an enlarged third edition of a frequently used book in our departmental library. The author remains faithful to his stated aims, being to group diseases by predominantly radiographic features, to collate recent information and to advocate a systematic approach to diagnoses.

摘要:

AbstractTwenty-six cases of greater curve gastric ulcers are presented, of which all but one were benign. There appears to have been an increased occurrence of benign greater curve gastric ulcers in our institution. By using a double contrast barium examination diagnostic accuracy was high, although endoscopy and biopsy are required for confirmation. Greater curve gastric ulcers were commonest in elderly patients with concomitant disease and a high intake of oral drugs, particularly analgesics, potassium chloride supplements and steroids. The constant location of the ulceration in the most dependent part of the stomach suggests a causal relationship with drug ingestion in these patients. The term “sumpulcer” is suggested. A relatively high incidence of perforation and gastrocolic fistulae was found. It would appear that gastrocolic fistulae from benign peptic ulcer disease, previously thought to be excessively rare, are becoming more commonly recognized.

There are 20 pages with Roman numerals to be got through at the start of this book, but do not be put off. Stuff like “aspects of beauty and excitement” and “state of the art” makes dutiful, tired bows here.

摘要:

AbstractFifty-two patients with carcinoma of the rectum underwent computed tomography (CT) in the immediate preoperative period. CT was used in order to assess extrarectal tumour spread. The resected specimen was staged by the pathologist who subdivided spread in continuity beyond the bowel wall into slight, moderate or extensive. In 21 out of 23 patients with no or slight extrarectal local spread CT showed normal perirectal fat. Extrarectal spread was demonstrated by CT in eight of the nine patients found to have extensive local spread. This was seen to be circumferential in the only two patients with inoperable tumours. CT identified discrete nodal enlargement in seven of the 18 patients with histologically involved lymph nodes. CT may help the less experienced surgeon, especially when he is not confident of his findings at digital examination. CT allows assessment of high rectal tumours which cannot be examined digitally. It may play a role where a tumour with extensive local spread is clinically suspected and confirmation is needed before preoperative radiotherapy is given.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to establish the normal range for measurements of fetal limb bones early in pregnancy. The results show a linear correlation between fetal biparietal diameter and limb bone length and a significant difference between the mean measurements of the individual limb bones. The clinical significance of these findings is discussed.

摘要:

AbstractA new method for ultrasonically guided percutaneous interstitial implantation of125I seeds in abdominal tumours is described. A linear array puncture transducer mounted on a specialx-y-zco-ordinate frame is used in combination with a special insertion technique. Followingin vitroexperiments the technique was applied in two patients with pancreatic cancer. There were no immediate complications after the implantation of 36 and 37125I seeds.

摘要:

For the last five years, the Los Angeles Radiological Society has held a Spring Diagnostic Ultrasound Conference. This has proved to be very popular. Small group discussions led by nationally prominent and local ultrasonographers and centred around cases in the workshop syllabus are a feature of the Conference.
