https://www.selleckchem.com/products/iu1.html We present a case in which attenuation imaging (ATI), a recently developed ultrasonographic application, facilitated the diagnosis of preplacental and postplacental haematoma. Placental abruption is a serious condition that affects the prognosis of infants and is difficult to diagnose. Ultrasonography is the primary imaging modality that complements the clinical findings in the diagnosis; however, its sensitivity is low, and improved diagnostic accuracy is desired. Here, we found that placental haematomas on the placental fetal surface observed at 19 weeks of gestation were indistinct from placental parenchyma in B-mode ultrasonographic imaging. In ATI, the placental parenchyma was colour-mapped, but the haematoma portion was not, which helped identify the haematoma. ATI, which also colour-maps uniform tissues, did not colour-map vessels within the placenta. ATI has a breakthrough potential for improving the diagnosis of placental abruption.Transperineal biopsy is becoming more commonly used, driven by improved detection rates, better complication profile and increasing application of prostate MRI leading to guided biopsy. However, it can still lead to complications such as urinary retention, postoperative pain and erectile dysfunction. There is also a potential for adverse events such as severe infection, abscess and fistula. This article describes a case of an intrascrotal abscess post-transperineal biopsy, which required an orchidectomy.Adults with congenital heart disease often have complex medical issues requiring individualised multidisciplinary care for optimising outcomes and quality of life. Chronic pain is an example. We report a rare case of intercostal neuralgia seemingly caused by irritation from a prosthetic valve in a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot. Intercostal neuralgia is a painful disorder linked to nerve irritation or injury from trauma, infection or p
