PCN placement leads to greater radiation exposure for pregnant women
Initial percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube placement leads to more radiation exposure for pregnant women with suspected kidney stones, according to a study published October 27 in Urology. Researchers led by Madison Lyon, MD, from the Glickman Urologic Institute in Cleveland, OH, found that PCN placement after initial imaging is significantly tied to a higher number of procedures, radiation exposure per procedure, and total radiation exposure per suspected stone episode compared with stent and primary ureteroscopy. “Based on discussions with our interventional radiology colleagues, dislodged PCNs or severe encrustatio...

How to deep freeze an entire organ —and bring it back to life
MINNEAPOLIS— The rat kidney on the operating table in front of Joseph Sushil Rao looked like it had been through hell. Which it had—a very cold one.

What Are Common Gastrointestinal Polyposes in Children?

Real blood does occur with an identifiable cause such as long distance running or heavy exercise, or milk protein allergy/sensitivity that improves with a milk-restricted diet. Many more serious causes are associated with heavier or more recalcitrant bleeding, increased defecation, abdominal pain, poor eating an...
