Alabama lawyer takes on Deficit Reduction Act

The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 signed into law by President Bush on February 8 includes at least $2.8 billion in cuts to imaging services performed outside the hospital setting. But the DRA has a potentially fatal flaw, making it unconstitutional, according to Alabama attorney Jim Zeigler. He has filed a lawsuit seeking to have it overturned, and discusses his strategy with AuntMinnie.com.

Elastography tracks stiffness changes in breast implants

By Amerigo Allegretto

Shear-wave elastography could be used as an indicator of breast implant rupture risk.

(A) Examples of B-mode images for the measurement of membrane thickness of implants from each of the four types of implants. Images are presented at the same scale. Membrane thicknesses (B) and then shear moduli measured by ARFI method (C) are compared without dissociation as a function of prosthesis age or implantation time. (NS: p-value > 0.05, *: p-value < 0.05, **: p-value < 0.01, ***: p-value < 0.001).

PET/CT scans show value in patients with rare type of pancreatitis

F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans may help predict relapses in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis.

January 19, 2024

F-18 FDG-PET/CT images of patients. (A) Image of a 61-year-old male patient with type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) demonstrating diffuse enlargement of the pancreas (arrows). The serum IgG4 level was 2,260.0 mg/dL, and the TLG2.5 was 413.8 g/ml×cm3. According to the nomogram, his relapse probability is more than 95%. The patient discontinued steroid use during the maintenance phase, and 7 months later, he relapsed, with imaging showing diffuse re-enlargement of the pancreas. (B) Image of a 60-year-old male patient with type 1 AIP, showing focal enlargement in the head of the pancreas (arrows). The serum IgG4 level was 980 mg/dL, and the TLG2.5 was 92.7.0 g/ml×cm3. According to the nomogram, the patient’s relapse probability is less than 50%. After symptom relief, the patient did not receive maintenance treatment, and has been followed up for 4 years without relapse. Image courtesy of BMC Gastroenterology.
