Is prospective MRI mapping of the changes in the volume of the prostate gland in prostate cancer patients undergoing 6 months of neo‐adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy a step towards a trial to determine those who may benefit from treatment intensification or extended duration?

Abstract Introduction Neo‐adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy prior to radiotherapy (RT) causes shrinkage of the prostate gland, but the changes in volume have never been mapped over time in detail, nor have the associations between volume reduction and testosterone escape or prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) kinetics been determined. Methods Fifty consecutive patients with prostate cancer were treated with 6 months of triptorelin prior to definitive RT. The volume of the prostate...

Predictors of positive bone cultures from CT‐guided bone biopsies performed for suspected osteomyelitis

Abstract Introduction Bone biopsies are often used to direct antibiotic choice in patients with suspected osteomyelitis. The aim of this study was to identify the best predictors of positive bone biopsy cultures. Methods A retrospective review of 845 patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)‐guided non‐spine bone biopsies at a tertiary academic healthcare institution. Thirty‐seven patients (4.4%) had biopsies performed for suspected osteomyelitis. Laboratory markers, as well...

Arterial contrast extravasation in severe seat belt‐related female breast trauma on CT: Conservative management at a level 1 trauma centre

Summary Seat belt‐related female breast trauma (SFBT) is an uncommon cause of haemorrhage following motor vehicle collision. Classification systems have been used to grade the severity of SFBT, ranging from mild class I to severe class IV injuries with evidence of active haemorrhage. In the case of class IV injuries, contrast extravasation represents active haemorrhage, prompting angiographic embolisation or surgery to arrest the bleed. Contrary to the majority of reports published in the literature,...
