Limfadenopati dapat disebabkan oleh berbagai kondisi mulai dari keganasan, infeksi, autoimun, dan iatrogenik. Limfadenopati pada usia anak dan dewasa yang ukurannya tidak bertambah besar dalam kurun waktu kurang dari dua minggu atau lebih dari 12 bulan tidak bersifat neoplastik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kesesuaian gambaran CT Scan leher dengan hasil biopsi aspirasi jarum halus (BAJAH) untuk membedakan limfadenopati leher yang jinak dan ganas. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Departemen Radiologi RS. Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo dan RS Universitas Hasanuddin Makassar mulai bulan Desember 2017 sampai Mei 2018. Sampel sebanyak 61 orang dengan rentang usia 4 - 82 tahun. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan gambaran keganasan limfadenopati leher pada CT Scan yang sesuai dengan BAJAH yaitu penyebaran ekstrakapsular, nekrosis sentral, bentuk bulat/lobulated dan margin irregular, sedangkan kalsifikasi dan ukuran tidak sesuai. Gambaran CT Scan limfadenopati leher yang jinak sesuai dengan hasil BAJAH yaitu tidak ada penyebaran ekstrakapsular, tidak ada nekrosis sentral, bentuk oval dan margin regular, sedangkan kalsifikasi dan ukuran tidak sesuai.   Lymphadenopathy can be caused by various conditions that were malignancy, infection, autoimmunity, and iatrogenic. In adults and children, lymphadenopathy whose duration is less than two weeks or more than 12 months but its size does not increase, that is not a neoplastic. The study aims to determine the relationship between CT Scan of neck image and the result of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in distinguishing benign and malignant cervical lymphadenopathies. The research was conducted in Radiology Department of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo and Universitas Hasanuddin Hospital Makassar from December to May 2018. The sample were 61 people aged form 4 – 82 years old. The observational analytic with cross sectional analytic were used in this study. The result revealed that image of malignant lymphadenopathies in CT Scan of neck were significantly related with FNAB results; extracapsular spread; central necrosis, lobulated or rounded forms with irregular margin, while calcification and size were not related. The image of benign lymphadenopathies in CT Scan of neck was related with FNAB results; no extracapsular spread, no central necrosis, oval formed with regular margin, while calcification and size were not related.

Abstract: Increase of interleukin 6 (IL-6) level occurs in the brain after traumatic brain injury (TBI), however, studies about IL-6 as a prodictor based on CT-scan is still limited. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum IL-6 level and CT Marshall classification in patients with severe TBI. This was an observational study with a cross sectional design. There were 20 patients with severe TBI admitted at the Emergency Surgery Installation of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado in this study. CT-scan was performed on them to determine the CT Marshall classification and to categorize the hemorrhage location (extra-axial, intra-axial, both), hemisphere (midline/diffuse, dextral, sinistral), and area (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, multiple). Venous blood sample used for IL-6 examination was drawn less than 24 hours after trauma. The results showed that mean IL-6 level was 22.0060 pg/mL (SD 4.64494 pg/mL). Patients were distributed relatively uniform in 4 detected categories (diffuse injury II, III, V, and VI) of CT Marshall classification. Final regression model consisted of IL-6, age, and temporal injury as predictors. The Spearman coefficient correlation showed rs = -0.005 (P=0.491). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between serum Il-6 level and CT Marshall classification, albeit, both of them increased consistantly following the severity of TBI and could be potential predictors to determine the prognosis of severe TBI patients.Keywords: IL-6, CT Marshall, severe TBIAbstrak: Pada cedera otak berat akibat trauma (COBT) terjadi peningkatan ekspresi IL-6 di otak namun penelitian mengenai kemampuannya untuk memrediksi hasil berdasarkan klasifikasi CT scan masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara kadar IL-6 serum dan klasifikasi CT Marshall pada pasien dengan COBT. Jenis penelitian ialah observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 20 pasien yang dirawat dengan COBT di IRDB RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. CT-scan segera digunakan untuk menentukan klasifikasi CT Marshall dan untuk mengategorikan lokasi (ekstra-aksial, intra-aksial, keduanya), belahan (garis tengah/difus, dekstra, sisnitra), dan area otak yang terlibat dalam cedera. Sampel darah vena untuk IL-6 diambil kurang dari 24 jam setelah trauma. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan rerata kadar IL-6 22,0060 pg/mL (SD 4,64494 pg/mL). Pasien didistribusikan relatif seragam dalam empat kategori yang terdeteksi (difus cedera II, III, V, dan VI) dari klasifikasi CT Marshall. Model regresi akhir terdiri dari IL-6, usia, dan cedera pada area temporal sebagai prediktor. Korelasi antara kadar IL-6 serum dan klasifikasi CT Marshall dianalisis dengan koefisien korelasi Spearman dan mendapatkan rs = -0,005 (P=0,491). Simpulan: Walaupun secara statistik tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar Il-6 serum dan CT Marshall namun keduanya secara konsisten meningkat mengikuti COBT dan dapat menjadi prediktor potensial untuk menentukan prognosis pada pasien dengan COBT.Kata kunci: IL-6, CT Marshall, COBT

The risk of serious head injury (HI) from a fall in a young child is ill defined. The relationship between the object fallen from and prevalence of intracranial injury (ICI) or skull fracture is described.MethodCross-sectional study of HIs from falls in children (<6 years) admitted to UK hospitals, analysed according to the object fallen from and associated Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) or alert, voice, pain, unresponsive (AVPU) and CT scan results.ResultsOf 1775 cases ascertained (median age 18 months, 54.7% boys), 87% (1552) had a GCS=15/AVPU=alert. 19.3% (342) had a CT scan: 32% (110/342) were abnormal; equivalent to 5.9% of the overall population, 16.9% (58) had isolated skull fractures and 13.7% (47) had ICI (49% (23/47) had an associated skull fracture). The prevalence of ICI increased with neurological compromise; however, 12% of children with a GCS=15/AVPU=alert had ICI. When compared to falls from standing, falls from a person's arms (233 children (mean age 1 year)) had a significant relative OR for a skull fracture/ICI of 6.94 (95% CI 3.54 to 13.6), falls from a building (eg, window or attic) (mean age 3 years) OR 6.84 (95% CI 2.65 to 17.6) and from an infant or child product (mean age 21 months) OR 2.75 (95% CI 1.36 to 5.65).ConclusionsMost HIs from a fall in these children admitted to hospital were minor. Infants, dropped from a carer's arms, those who fell from infant products, a window, wall or from an attic had the greatest chance of ICI or skull fracture. These data inform prevention and the assessment of the likelihood of serious injury when the object fallen from is known.

Purpose The rate of unsatisfactory samples from ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirations of thyroid nodules varies widely in the literature. We aimed to evaluate our thyroid ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy technique in the absence of on-site microscopic examination by a pathologist; determine factors that affect the adequacy rate, such as the number of needle passes and needle size; compare our results with the literature; and establish an optimal technique. Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective review of cytopathology reports from 252 consecutive thyroid ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies performed by a radiologist between 2005 and 2010 in our hospital's radiology department. Sample adequacy, the number of needle passes, and needle size were determined. There was an on-site cytologist who prepared slides immediately after fine-needle aspiration but no on-site microscopic assessment of sample adequacy to guide the number of needle passes that should be performed. Cytopathology biopsy reports were classified as either unsatisfactory or satisfactory samples for diagnosis; the latter consisted of benign, malignant, and undetermined diagnoses. Results Seventy-seven biopsies were performed with 1 needle pass, 124 with 2 needle passes, and 51 with 3 needle passes. The rates of unsatisfactory biopsies were 33.8%, 23.4% (odds ratio [OR] 0.599 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.319-1.123]; P = .110), and 13.7% (OR 0.312 [95% CI, 0.124-0.788]; P = .014), respectively. Conclusion In a hospital in which there is no on-site pathologist, a 3-pass method increases the specimen satisfactory rate by 20% compared with 1 pass, achieves similar rates to the literature, and provides a basis for further improvement of our practice.

Background: The advancement in technology has introduced multi-detector CT scanners and achievement of better spatial resolution with faster acquisition has become a possibility. The three-dimensional reformatted images along with multiplanar reconstructions upgrade the staging capabilities for RCC. Aim: To check accuracy of MDCT (Multi-detector Computed tomography) in staging renal cell carcinoma with histopathology taken as the gold standard. Study design: The study is a descriptive cross sectional study. Settings: Radiology Department, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur Study duration: 16"' January 2019 to 15"' July 2019. Methods 157 patients (including both genders) were included with age range of 25-60 years, showing features of renal cell carcinoma on ultrasonography. Those Patients with renal mass other than renal cell carcinoma, solitary functioning kidney and pregnant females were eliminated from the study. All the selected patients had Multi-detector CT scan abdomen performed. Results: Mean age was 44.66+9.3 I years. Out of these 157 patients, there were 90(57.32) male patients and 67 (42.68°/c) females with ratio of I.3: I. All the patients had CT scan of abdomen and pelvis. The results showed that 8I of the patients were True Positive and only 08 were False Positive. Out of 68 CT negative patients, 07 (False Negative) showed renal cell carcinoma on histopathology while 6 I True Negative patients had no evidence of RCC on histopathology (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Multi-detector CT scan is a very sensitive yet accurate non - invasive method for staging renal cell ca. Keywords: Renal cell carcinoma, multidetector CT scan, imaging, sensitivity

Infection by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causes a multisystemic disorder, being the main manifestations in the respiratory system. However, neurological manifestations have been reported showing an increased incidence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. A retrospective study (January, February and March 2021), in the database of “Hospital Nacional El Salvador” in order to detect and describe the findings in admitted patients who required Brain Computed Tomography (CT) scan due to Acute Neurological manifestations during their hospitalization. Objective: To describe de incidence of stroke in COVID-19 patient admitted to Hospital El Salvador compare to El Salvador population. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study in January, February and March 2021 at “Hospital Nacional El Salvador” designated as COVID Hospital to face the Pandemic. The epidemiological data, images, and reports from the Radiology Department of all patients admitted to the hospital were obtained via the electronic database “Patient Care Integral System” (“Sistema Integral de Atención al Paciente” - SIAP). The following definitions were stablished: 1. Normal CT, 2. Abnormal CT; highlighting the presence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. The Study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: During the period studied, a total of 3,632 patients with clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 were registered. CT scan was required for 87 (2.4%) patients, of whom 74 (2.04%) presented some type of abnormality; 20 (27.02%) of the abnormal CT scans had findings corresponding to a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic); this represents an incidence of 0.55% of the total patients assisted in this period. The age-adjusted global mortality rate from cerebrovascular diseases (2014, updated 2018) is 25.2 per 100,000 inhabitants; our finding would indicate an increase in the expected rate of stroke compared to general population. Conclusion: Coinciding with other reports, we found that the disease COVID-19 has a higher incidence of stroke in hospitalized patients older than 60 years.

Background: Considering the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and its rapid person-to-person transmission and the challenges it has brought about in dentistry, especially in intraoral radiography, following the established guidelines in prescribing radiographs is of great prominence. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the necessity of prescribed intraoral radiographs and to estimate the number of unnecessary prescriptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 143 patients with a mean age of 29.36 ± 14.11 years who visited the Radiology Department of Shiraz Dental School during the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak. Information, including gender, age, systemic diseases, referring department, and type and urgency of radiography, was collected using a checklist. Chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test were run to assess the relationships between variables. Results: Among all the patients referred to the Radiology Department, the endodontics and oral medicine departments accounted for the highest percentage of referrals. The relationship between the necessity of radiography prescriptions and dental departments was significant (P < 0.05). The lowest rate of unnecessary referrals was reported in the Department of Endodontics (13.3%), whereas the highest rate of unnecessary referrals was attributed to the aesthetic and restorative dentistry departments (73.3%). There was a significant association between dental department and the type of prescribed radiographs (extraoral/intraoral). The Orthodontics Department was the only department with more extraoral radiograph prescriptions than intraoral radiographs. One-third of the prescribed intraoral radiographs and half of the extraoral radiographs were unnecessary, with a significant difference during the pandemic (P = 0.019). Conclusions: Although there has been some success in the development of COVID-19 vaccines, this pandemic will not be easily eradicated. Therefore, it is crucial to follow the established guidelines and postpone unnecessary dental procedures to improve the safety of our community and the world in general.
