RESUMEN

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [ADPKD] is an inherited disorder associated with multiple cyst formation in the different organs. Development of pancreatic cyst in ADPKD is often asymptomatic and is associated with no complication. A 38-year-old man with ADPKD was presented with six episodes of acute pancreatitis and two episodes of cholangitis in a period of 12 months. Various imaging studies revealed multiple renal, hepatic and pancreatic cysts, mild ectasia of pancreatic duct, dilation of biliary system and absence of biliary stone. He was managed with conservative treatment for each attack. ADPKD should be considered as a potential risk factor for recurrent acute and/ or chronic pancreatitis and cholangitis

RESUMEN

Restoration of normal anatomic alignment is a key component of the treatment of distal radius fractures [DRF]. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography [US] in determining the adequacy of closed reduction in these fractures. DRF patients admitted to the emergency department of Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran from September 2011 to 2012, were enrolled. After closed reduction, the adequacy was investigated through both US and control plain radiography. Then, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predicative values of US in confirmation of closed reduction was evaluated. In addition, inter-rater agreement between the two diagnostic tools was analyzed by calculating Cohen's kappa coefficient. Finally, 154 pa-tients were evaluated [females: 53.9%] with mean age of 40.03 +/- 14.7 [range: 22-73]. US had sensitivity, specifici-ty, positive and negative predictive value of 99.3% [95%CI: 96.2-99.9], 100.0% [95%CI: 62.9-100.0], 100.0% [95%CI: 97.5-100.0], and 88.9% [95%CI: 51.7-98.1] in confirmation of the adequate reduction, respectively. In addition, inter-rater reliability was 0.94 [95%CI: 0.89-0.99; p<0.0001]. It seems that US could be considered as a highly sensitive, accurate, easy to use, noninvasive and safe tool for guidance and confirmation of closed reduction in DRF

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate orbital blood flow velocities and optic nerve diameter with Doppler and gray-scale sonography in patients with acute unilateral optic neuritis (ON). METHODS: Orbital Doppler and gray-scale sonography was performed in 46 eyes of 23 patients aged 19- to 47-years with acute unilateral ON. ON was diagnosed by an ophthalmologist on the basis of clinical presentation, presence of decreased visual acuity and assessment of visual evoked potentials. The peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV), as well as the resistance index (RI) and pulsatile index (PI) of the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs) and optic nerve diameter were measured in both eyes. We compared results from affected and unaffected eyes using the paired t-test. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to assess the diagnosis of ON based on measured blood flow parameters of the OA, CRA and PCAs and optic nerve diameter. RESULTS: The mean (standard deviation) optic nerve diameter in eyes with ON was 4.1 (0.8) mm, which was significantly larger than the 3.0 (0.4) mm diameter measured in unaffected control eyes (p 0.05). The mean RI in the PCAs was slightly lower in the eyes with ON than in the contralateral eyes (0.60 vs. 0.64, p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curves indicated that optic nerve diameter was the best parameter for the diagnosis of ON. CONCLUSIONS: Optic nerve diameter was related to ON, but orbital blood flow parameters were not.
