Pediatric neuroendovascular procedures require special considerations. Given small vessel sizes, risk for arterial injury must be weighed against use of larger devices, with the diameter of the sheath being a known association with arterial complications. We recently transitioned to using thin-walled radial sheaths for transfemoral angiography in children, given their lower profile. Here, we report on these sheaths' technical success and complications, comparing against a historical cohort where regular vascular sheaths were employed.

We retrospectively recorded patient and procedural data from 168 consecutive procedures from September 2017 to January 2019 when radial-specific sheaths were exclusively used at our tertiary pediatric hospital. click here These results were compared to data from September 2015 to January 2017, when regular vascular sheaths were exclusively used in 152 consecutive procedures. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t test or chi-square test, with p < 0.05 considered statistheaths used transfemorally decrease long-term complications such as limb-length discrepancy and mortality.Postmortem imaging has been used primarily in forensic medicine since 1895. Conventional x‑ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. In studies, sonography is not considered to be of particular value, especially because of postmortem gas formation in adults. We report three cases in which postmortem sonography within three hours of death allowed clarification of a previously unclear cause of death.
Hospitalization rates (HR), emergency care prevalence (ECP) and case fatality proportions (CFP) of hospitalized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients in one municipality have not been studied, including how these differ from other pandemic or seasonal viral diseases, such as influenzaA/B or norovirus. These analyses and their comparison with negative-tested hospitalized patients are the purpose of the present study.

A total of 67,000cases of hospitalized patients of atertiary care hospital and data of the regional health institute were analyzed to calculate HR, ECP and CFP of SARS-CoV‑2, influenzaA/B and norovirus genotype1/2.

In the city and district of Fürth (Germany), 824 persons (0.34%) tested SARS-CoV-2-positive through 7May2020, 162 of whom (19.7%) were hospitalized. Furthermore, 48 out of 91patients died in hospital (CFP 11.0%). During the flu/norovirus season 2019/2020 992 inhabitants were flu-positive and 135 norovirus-positive, of whom 202 (20.3%) and 125 (91.9%), respectively, were hospitalized. The ECPs were 4.1%, 2.0% and 0.6%. The CFPs of the SARS-CoV-2-, influenza- and norovirus-positive hospital cohort were 29.1%, 3.0% and 1.6%, while CFPs of the negative-tested were 5.9%, 4.8% and 6.9% with an in-hospital mortality of 2.1% for 2020.

While HRs of SARS-CoV‑2 and influenza were similar, CFPs differ significantly. CFPs of negative-tested patients were comparable between the three infectious diseases.

To retrospectively evaluate whether the early dark cortical band (EDCB) on CT can be a predictor to differentiate clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from fat poor angiomyolipoma (Fp-AML) and to detect peritumoral pseudocapsules in ccRCC.

The EDCBs, which are comprised of unenhanced thin lines at the tumor-renal cortex border in the corticomedullary phase, on the CT images of 342 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy were evaluated. Independent predictors among the clinical and CT findings for differentiating ccRCC from Fp-AML were identified using multivariate analyses. The diagnostic performance of the EDCB for diagnosing peritumoral pseudocapsule in ccRCC and differentiating ccRCC from Fp-AML was calculated.

The EDCB was observed in 157 of 254 (61.8%) ccRCCs, 4 of 31 (12.9%) chromophobe RCCs, 1 of 21 (4.8%) papillary RCCs, 3 of 11 (27.3%) clear cell papillary RCCs, 3 of 8 (37.5%) oncocytomas, and 0 of 17 (0%) Fp-AMLs. There was substantial interobserver agreement for the EDCB (k = 0.719). Thinadequate, though better than those in the nephrographic and excretory-phase images.
• The early dark cortical band (EDCB) sign is observed in nearly two-thirds of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) that are treated by partial nephrectomy and have substantial interobserver agreement. • The EDCB is a significant predictor for differentiating ccRCCs from fat poor angiomyolipomas, with a high specificity and positive predictive value. • Diagnostic accuracy of the EDCB for detecting peritumoral pseudocapsule in ccRCC is inadequate, though better than those in the nephrographic and excretory-phase images.
To evaluate the performance of CT-based texture analysis (TA) for predicting clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

This single-center, retrospective study contained 64 consecutive patients with AIS who underwent MT for large anterior circulation occlusion between December 2016 and January 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores at 3 months as good outcome (mRS ≤ 2) and bad outcome (mRS > 2). Two observers examined the early ischemic changes for TA on baseline non-contrast CT images independently. Demographic, clinical, periprocedural, and texture variables were compared between the groups and ROC curves were made. Logistic regression analysis was used and a model was created to determine the independent predictors of a bad outcome.

Sixty-four patients (32 female, 32 male; mean age 63.03 ± 14.42) were included in the study. Fourteen texture parameters were significantly different between patients with goohe time from onset to puncture of > 237.5 min (OR = 8.55; 95% CI = 1.96 - 37.21; p = 0.004) were found as independent predictors of the bad outcome.
