A system for collecting small amounts of body fluids, comprising a drive unit with a holder which moves from a first position to a second position when the drive unit is activated, and a disposable piercing unit with a retaining zone which is removably disposed in the holder, enabling the ...
Contrast‐enhanced computed tomography imaging demonstrated thick‐walled small bowel loops in the pelvis with a small amount of intra‐abdominal free fluid. The peri‐appendiceal phlegmon seen on previous computed tomography imaging had resolved (Fig. 1). A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed that ...
of enteritis with ileus (pseudo-obstruction) may show abdominal distension, scant feces, and colic, but these signs typically resolve with analgesics and fluid and electrolyte therapy, and diarrhea becomes evident soon thereafter. Unlike HBS, abomasal ulceration rarely results in abdominal distension....
59 However, these features do not allow confident differentiation of epithelial tumors with low malignant potential from invasive tumors.62 Ancillary findings such as ascites, tumor implants in the abdomen or pelvis, adenopathy, and adjacent organ invasion further increase confidence in the diagnosis...
of-care ultrasound, the surgical team still requested a computerized tomography (CT) to be obtained. The CT of the abdomen and pelvis with oral and intravenous contrast was performed, revealing a normal appendix and small amount of free fluid along with a short segment of transient ileo-ileal...
The present invention provides methods of treating non-small cell lung cancer by administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pyrroloquinolinyl-pyrrole-2,5-dione compound in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an epidermal growth factor tyrosine ...
Thoracentesis: A sac encloses the lungs. Lung cancer can cause fluid to collect in this sac (pleural effusion). In people who have cancer, this fluid may contain cancer cells. A doctor removes the fluid with a needle and examines it for the presence of cancer cells. This fluid is usually...

The abdominal CT showed pneumoperitoneum with a large amount of fluid in the pelvis and abdomen, indicating hollow viscus rupture. At the level of the sigmoid colon, a defect in the intestinal wall and gas bubbles were seen. Results: Exploratory laparotomy confirmed sigmoid colon perforation ...
During the procedure, refrigerated water flows into the renal pelvis, protecting it from the heat [37]. Figure 1. A 41-year-old woman with a biopsy-proven perihilar renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney ((a), arrow). Ureteral double-J stent was positioned right before the procedure ...
