Background: The study was conducted to establish the utility of radiography in the diagnosis of lung diseases in cattle and its correlation with different pneumonia diagnosed on the basis of TBA cytology. Methods: Lateral chest radiography and tracheo-bronchial wash was performed in control (n=21) and diseased group (n=55). Diseased group included cattle presented with respiratory signs and diagnosed with pulmonary diseases on the basis of history, physical and clinical examination and tracheo-bronchial wash cytology. Cytologic diagnosis was established as chronic pneumonia (n=24), acute pneumonia (n=18), tuberculosis (n=5) and aspiration pneumonia (n=8). Survivability was also correlated with lung patterns in diseased cattle. Result: Nodular interstitial pattern (27.3%), unstructured interstitial pattern (25.4%), bronchial pattern (20.0%), pleural effusions (12.7%), mixed lung patterns (10.9%) and miliary interstitial pattern (4.54%) was observed in diseased group. Unstructured interstitial pattern and pleural effusions were most evident in acute pneumonia. The radiographic findings in aspiration pneumonia did not correlate well with cytologic findings. Highest survivability was recorded in cows with bronchial pattern (81.8%) and lowest in miliary interstitial pattern (zero per cent).

SummaryCemented total hip replacement (cTHR) is commonly performed to treat intractable coxofemoral pain in dogs. While owners generally perceive a good outcome after the procedure, the longevity of the implant may be limited by complications such as infection and aseptic loosening. The objective of this retrospective study was to identify the prevalence of complications and radiographic changes following cTHR, and to identify factors that may predispose to a need for revision surgery. Medical records and radiographs from 97 dogs that underwent cTHR were evaluated for signalment, preoperative degree of osteoarthritis, technical errors, intra-operative culture results, and the post-operative radiographic appearance of the implant. The complications occurring in the intra-operative and short-term (<eight week) periods, and the radiographic appearance of the implant in the long-term (>eight week) time period were recorded. Mean (±SD) follow-up time was 1.1 ± 1.6 years (range: 0–7.7 years). Seven dogs had a short-term complication and a revision surgery was performed in eleven dogs. Osseous or cement changes were radiographically detectable in the majority of cTHR. Eccentric positioning of the femoral stem and the presence of radiolucent lines at the femoral cement-bone interface were positively associated with the occurrence of revision surgery. The clinical significance of the periprosthetic radiographic changes is unclear and further investigation is warranted.

Mantle irradiation is often part of the treatment for Hodgkin's disease. Localized pneumonitis and fibrosis are well-known sequelae of this treatment. We report nine patients with unusual thoracic radiographic findings following treatment for Hodgkin's disease. All nine had mediastinal widening. Seven of these patients received combined modality therapy in which prednisone was given with their MOPP. In these seven patients, an increase in mediastinal width developed at the same time as the radiographic changes of radiation pneumonitis. Two patients developed bilateral infiltrates extending beyond the field of radiation to the lung periphery. In one of these patients, a spontaneous pneumomediastinum developed. One patient underwent mediastinal biopsy that revealed inflammatory changes similar to those seen in radiation pneumonitis. All patients either responded to steroids or had spontaneous regression of radiographic abnormalities supporting the presumed diagnosis of treatment related changes. Recognition of these unusual sequelae of mantle irradiation will aid in differentiating them from infection or tumor and lead to prompt, appropriate treatment.

Case summary A 10-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat was diagnosed with renal adenocarcinoma associated with hypertrophic osteopathy. The cat was referred for chronic ambulation difficulties. The physical examination showed a painful thickening of all four limbs, a right cranial abdominal mass and a conjunctival hyperaemia. Radiographic findings were consistent with extensive periosteal new bone formation involving not only the diaphyses of the fore- and hindlimbs, but also of the pelvis, tarsus and carpus. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT revealed a mass within the right kidney and a primary neoplasm was suspected. A ureteronephrectomy of the right kidney was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of renal adenocarcinoma. Although clinical improvement of the lameness occurred after surgery, no radiographic changes of hypertrophic osteopathy lesions were observed at the 9-month follow-up. Relevance and novel information Feline cases of hypertrophic osteopathy are rarely reported in the literature and only a few of them were associated with abdominal neoplastic diseases. To our knowledge, this is the first case of renal adenocarcinoma associated with hypertrophic osteopathy in a cat.

Abstract ObjectivesThe incidence of malignancy related pleural effusions (MPE) is increasing. MPE carry significant morbidity and mortality. Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) have become the cornerstone in management and are supported by established international guidance. Large case reviews add to the evidence base regarding safety and efficacy. Methods168 patients had an IPC insertion between January 2012 and December 2018 in a large pleural centre in the North East of England. Data on outcomes and complications were obtained from the patients’ notes, electronic records, laboratory, and radiographic findings. Descriptive statistical methodology was applied. Results168 IPCs were inserted in a predominantly male population by experienced pleural practitioners. Overall complication rate is 13% and the incidence of any individual complications such as infection, metastatic seeding, drain displacement and loculations are much less than previously quoted in the literature. ConclusionThis case review adds to the large body of evidence that IPCs are safe and have minimal complications in the palliation of symptoms of malignant pleural effusion.

Case series summary This case series describes two cats diagnosed with oesophageal obstruction due to trichobezoars. Both cases presented for acute dyspnoea, with thoracic radiographs revealing changes consistent with oesophageal foreign material causing ventral displacement of the trachea. Endoscopic removal was unsuccessful and both cases required surgical intervention. Case 1 died within 24 h of trichobezoar removal, likely from aspiration pneumonia. Case 2 developed laryngeal collapse 10 days after trichobezoar removal and required a permanent tracheostomy. Case 2 has been followed up for >1 year without any further complications. Relevance and novel information There is minimal published information on oesophageal trichobezoars in cats. These cases provide information on presentation, radiographic findings and complications associated with oesophageal trichobezoars. The intention of this case series is to increase the index of suspicion for this syndrome among clinicians treating feline patients.

Bisphosphonates are employed with increasing frequency in various pediatric disorders, mainly associated with osteoporosis. After cessation of bisphosphonate treatment in children, skeletal radiologic changes have been documented including dense metaphyseal lines of the long bones and “bone in bone” appearance of the vertebrae. However, the evolution of these radiographic changes has not been fully explored. We describe the MR imaging appearance of the spine that, to our knowledge, has not been previously addressed in a child with idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis who had received bisphosphonates and emphasize the evolution of the radiographic findings of the spine and pelvis over a four-year period.

Introduction: Very often late diagnosis in spondylitis ankylosans (SA) in the period between 5 to 10 years is due to unstandardized diagnostic method besides established diagnostic criteria. But they are very restrictive and not practical for early diagnosis of SA, because are based on proved radiographic changes. Aim: Sacroiliitis (SI) as a sole entity rarely exists, usually is a part of a diagnostic mosaic of SA and related spondyloarthropathies (SpA). Surely proved SI clinically and radiographically means sure diagnosis of SA, especially in the early stage of the disease. Material and Methods: Highly selective group of patients with SA was followed in the period of one year: group of 23 patients (pts) with unconvincing radiographic changes for SA from 1-2° and group of 21 pts without radiographic changes i.e. 0°. Beside SA, both groups fulfilled at least another from the listed conditions: 1. Oligoarthritis; 2. Enthesitis; 3. Iridocyclitis; 4. Positive family history for SA; 5. Positive antigen HLA-B27 and 6. Elevated ESR > 30mm/h. Results: after observational period of one year in the group A 11/21 pts were with SA. In the group B only 6/23 pts were with SA; the others were transformed in different directions: 4/23 in the group of spondyloarthropathies (SpA) – 2 pts with Psoriatic spondyloarthropathy (PsSpA), 1 patient with Reiter syndrome (RS)and 1 patient with Entericspondyloarthropathy (ESpA). The others 8/22 pts were still undefined SpA. Conclusion: Our results showed that defining of SA was crucial in the diagnosis of SA. The fact that most of cases with authentic SA were in group A with minimal radiographic changes from 1-2° in comparison with group B without radiographic changes showed the necessity of using other imaging techniques (scan, MRI) for earlier detection of SI in the so called pre-radiographic stage which lasts 2-4 years, when radiographic findings are absent. Clinical (symptomatic) SI without radiographic changes according to the findings of pts in the group B gives a possibility for overlap to other entities in the group of SpA.

Panniculitides represent heterogenous group of disorders involving subcutaneous fat tissue, and are etiologically related to different causes including systemic diseases. Two female patients having subcutaneous sarcoidosis and panniculitis associated with dermatomyositis are presented in this paper. The first patient, (38 years of age), was with the nodes on forearms and lower legs, which occurred one month after hypophysectomy for adrenocorticoscopic (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma, and showed histopathologically confirmed epithelioid, noncaseating granulomas in the subcutaneous fat tissue. Laboratory and radiographic findings were normal with the exception of positive rheumatoid factor and incompletely developed cysts in proximal phalanges of the hand. The second patient (56 years of age), was with subcutaneous nodes on the upper arm and the lateral chest wall, which were noticed several months after the diagnosis of dermatomyositis. Histopathological examination showed lobular pannicilitis with hyaline fibrosis and plasmocytic-lymphocytic infiltrate.

Radiographic Changes

Transient osteoporosis is a clinical syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by the acute onset of pain gradually worsening over several weeks to months. Radiographic changes occur, but laboratory studies are generally unremarkable. Transient osteoporosis of the talus appears to have a similar clinical appearance, radiographic findings, and successful response to conservative management as transient osteoporosis found elsewhere in the body and can be treated similarly. Awareness of this syndrome is important to avoid confusing it with a variety of other disorders of the talus that may have similar clinical presentations.
