 | Cardioembolic stroke in atrial fibrillation-rationale for preventive closure of the left atrial appendage. | Figure 1: Angiographic contrast filling defect in the contast shadow of the LAA (white arrows) indicating a spherical thrombus, which was not diagnosed by TOE. Note the TOE probe at the left margin and the loop of the pigtail catheter (striped arrow), indicating the...Bottom Line: Unfortunately, this treatment is often contraindicated, particularly in the elderly, in whom risk of stroke is high.Moreover, given the risk of major bleeding, there is reason to be skeptical of the net benefit when warfarin is used in those patients.This work... | Leithäuser B, Park JW - Korean Circ J (2009) |

 | Percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy for a patient with an intractable small bowel injury after... | Figure 6: Abdominal radiograph taken 28 days after gastrojejunostomy tube insertion. Contrast medium administered via the tube reached the transverse colon. No obstruction or leakage was found. Intestinal distention was improved at this time.Bottom Line: Surgical treatment for patients with severe adhesions sometimes results in further intestinal injury.After this operation, she developed peritonitis as a result of a small bowel perforation thought to be due to an injury sustained during the operation, with... | Hara M, Takayama S, Takeyama H - J Med Case Reports (2011) |

 | Identification of surface proteins in Enterococcus faecalis V583. | Figure 1: SDS-PAGE analysis of the supernatants obtained after treating intact cells with trypsin; see materials and methods for details. The gel shows the results from cells treated with trypsin, cells treated with trypsin beads and a control sample ("untreated")...Bottom Line: Lipid-anchored proteins were the most dominant among the identified surface proteins.The 36 identified secreted (5) and surface (31) proteins included several proteins involved in cell wall synthesis, pheromone-regulated processes, and transport of solutes,... | Bøhle LA, Riaz T, Egge-Jacobsen W, Skaugen M, et al. - BMC Genomics (2011) |

 | Evaluation of breast calcifications. | Figure 0007: Mammogram shows amorphous calcifications (arrow). A hook-wire localization (arrowhead) was performed; the histopathology report did not show any malignancyBottom Line: Various patterns of calcifications occur in the breast; some benign, some malignant.A knowledge of these patterns on mammography helps in accurate interpretation and management. | Nalawade YV - Indian J Radiol Imaging (2009 Oct-Dec) |
