Thoracoamniotic shunting is an effective treatment for fetal pleural effusion. Catheter obstruction is a serious and frequently occurring phenomenon that often requires re-shunting; however, accurate diagnosis remains challenging. We present a case in which pulsed-wave Doppler and color flow mapping were used to evaluate fluid flow through a thoracoamniotic shunt catheter.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this retrospective, descriptive study was to assess CT findings and short-term outcome of cats with pyothorax presented to a referral hospital.MethodsThoracic CT studies of 41 cats with pyothorax comprising pre-contrast lung and soft tissue reconstructions and post-contrast soft tissue reconstructions were blindly reviewed by two European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI) board-certified radiologists and a third-year ECVDI resident, referencing a predetermined list of imaging features. Clinical outcomes, including treatment options, survival to discharge and length of hospitalisation, were recorded.

By comparing the relevant image manifestations and diagnostic results of high resolution CT (HRCT) and digital radio graphy (DR), to deeply explore the clinical application value of HRCT in the diagnosis and staging of occupational pneumoconiosis. A total of 180 pneumoconiosis patients with different stages diagnosed in Guangzhou Twelfth People's Hospital from January 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research objects by systematic sampling method, and their HRCT and DR examinations were performed. The display of lung imaging features of patients with pneumoconiosis by the two examination methods was analyzed, and the chi-square test and rank sum test were used to compare the differences in diagnostic staging results and the detection of pulmonary complications.
