Role of multislice CT in evaluation of traumatic hind-foot injuries

Abstract Purpose To highlight the role of multislice CT coronary angiography with its new applications such as reformatted images, and high resolution imaging, regarding coronary plaque composition and prevalence in dyslipidemic and non dyslipidemic patients Methods The study included 30 patients, 15 non dyslipidemic and 15 dyslipidemic patients. Each patient included in the study was subjected to full history taking, reviewing medical sheet. CTCA was performed for all patients followed by analysis of the plaque composition and percent stenosis using the axial images and multiplanar reconstruction. Results It was found that dyslipidemic patients had more plaque burden than non dyslipidemic. The dyslipidemic patients were more liable for multiple and soft plaques, mainly appreciated at the distal segment of the coronary arteries while non dyslipidemic were more liable for single and calcific/mixed plaques. Thus, may encourage the clinician to use lipid lower drugs as primary or secondary intervention for CAD.

Gait Phase

Although the risk of foot injuries during walking increases with the foot deformity, the dynamic mechanism is not clearly understood. This study aims at the investigation of dynamic change of center of pressure (COP) in different foot types. Contrasted by previous studies, this study analyzed COP in each gait phase, i.e., loading response, mid stance, terminal stance, and pre-swing. A total of 19 young males participated in this study and the resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP) angle was measured for the classification into three foot types. All participants performed level walking with shoes on. COP trajectory was normalized by foot width and length. In the loading response and mid stance phases COP of Pes Cavus located most laterally ([Formula: see text]). No difference among foot types existed at terminal stance and pre-swing phases ([Formula: see text]). Foot deformity is known to occur due to the abnormality of musculoskeletal system such as lower extremities muscles, bones, and ligaments. Because the role of musculoskeletal system differs between gait phases, this may have caused phase-dependent COP difference among different foot types.

Type B Dissection

AbstractAortic dissection is a medical emergency that can quickly lead to death, despite optimal treatment. The Stanford classification is widely used and is in close relationship to clinical practice, as type A dissections require primary surgical repair whereas type B dissections are treated medically as initial treatment with surgery or endovascular repair (EVR) reserved for any complications. Multislice CT is the investigation of choice to establish the diagnosis and plan treatment strategies. Therapeutic strategies differ for treatment of an acute dissection compared with a chronic dissection. Traditionally, most institutions favor a “complication specific” approach for type B dissection with antihypertensive treatment and use of β-blockers as primary therapy. Surgery or EVR is reserved for patients with recurrent pain, life-threatening complications, or rapid aortic expansion. With above algorithms, there is evidence that 30 to 50% patients on conservative therapy develop serious morbidity or mortality over 5-year period. Clinical and imaging markers of adverse outcome are being identified to revise the management strategies and offer EVR to those at risk for adverse outcome. This is especially relevant in view of the fact that EVR for type B dissection is associated with procedural success in 99.2 ± 0.1% patients. Overall survival rates of 96.9% at 30 days, 96.7% at 6 months, 96.4% at 1 year, 95.6% at 2 years, and 95.2% at 5 years are reported after EVR in type B dissections. There is emerging evidence that EVR may be noninferior to surgery in this group of patients. These observations along with the development of dissection-specific device designs have the potential to rewrite the management algorithms for type B aortic dissection and define the role of EVR in this disease.
