Essentials The best imaging modality for joint blood detection in hemophilia is unknown. Blood appearance and detection thresholds were studied with ultrasound and conventional MRI. Ultrasound is sensitive to low volume and concentration of blood, whereas conventional MRI is not. The findings establish the validity of ultrasound for rapid bleed det...

Survival times vary among patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) - even among those with the same site, stage, and grade of primary tumor. This makes it difficult to select treatment for patients with unresectable NETs because some patients can survive decades without treatment. 68Gallium-DOTATATE positron emission tomography with computed tomo...

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) refers to the central nervous system (CNS) infestation of the larvae of pork tapeworm Taenia solium. It is endemic in Central and South America, Asia and Africa. It most commonly presents as intraparenchymal subcentimetric ring enhancing lesions of variable ages (or size and duration) with surrounding vasogenic edema. The l...

Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in the pediatric population. Usually, it is primary and benign and can be managed by nonoperative interventions in 80% of the cases. Adult intussusception accounts for only 5% of all cases of intussusception and 1%–5% of all cases of intestinal obstruction. Unlike in the pediatric populati...

Purpose Stricture formation at the biliary enteric anastomotic site is a common complication due to fibrotic healing. Few therapeutic options are available for biliary-enteric anastomotic site stricture (BES) including new surgical reconstruction or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage followed by balloon dilation of BES or stent placement. T...

BACKGROUND: Blood blister aneurysms (BBA) are a rare subset of intracranial aneurysms that represent a therapeutic challenge from both a surgical and endovascular perspective. OBJECTIVE: To report multicenter experience with flow diversion exclusively for BBA, located at non-branching segments along the anteromedial wall of the supraclinoidal inter...

Background Use of flow-diversion technology in the treatment of incidental and recanalized posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms. Methods Patients treated with the Pipeline embolization device (PED) for PComA aneurysms were identified and included in our retrospective analysis. We evaluated aneurysm characteristics, modified Rankin Scale...

Objective Ventricular shunts are a mainstay of hydrocephalus treatment, but the detection of its clinical failure often relies on circumstantial evidence. A direct, non-interventional method for reliably evaluating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) function does not exist due to the difficulty of measuring in vivo flow characteristics. The objective of thi...
