Renal anomalis
This document discusses various congenital abnormalities of the upper urinary tract, including:
1. Abnormalities in kidney number such as bilateral renal agenesis, unilateral renal agenesis, and supernumerary kidneys.
2. Abnormalities in kidney position like simple ectopia, thoracic ectopia, crossed ectopia, and horseshoe kidney.
3. Collecting system abnormalities such as UPJO, calyceal diverticulum, hydrocalycosis, and megacalycosis.
4. Cystic abnormalities of the kidney including ADPKD, ARPKD, medullary sponge kidney, medullary cystic disease, and multicystic dys
16 clubbing or destruction of renal calyces
The document discusses different medical conditions that can cause clubbing or destruction of the renal calyces based on clinical imaging findings. These include papillary necrosis seen in sickle cell disease, active tuberculosis destroying the calyces, chronic pyelonephritis causing diffuse rounded clubbing of multiple calyces, and hydronephrosis due to obstruction from a cryptococcus fungus ball at the ureteropelvic junction. Medullary sponge kidney is also mentioned as a cause of caliectasis with medullary calculi throughout both kidneys.
30 DAVID SUTTON PICTURES THE KIDNEY AND URETERS
The document contains descriptions and images of various kidney abnormalities and diseases that can be identified on imaging tests like ultrasound, IVU, CT, and MRI. Some of the conditions described and shown include duplex kidneys, horseshoe kidneys, polycystic kidney disease, hydronephrosis, renal calculi, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and reflux nephropathy. Over 40 figures from imaging studies demonstrate different pathological features of these renal conditions.
INTRAVENOUS UROGRAM
An IVU (Intravenous Urography) is an x-ray of your urinary tract (consisting of kidneys, ureters and bladder) following an injection of a clear dye called contrast into a vein in your arm.
The pictures produced are called intravenous urograms (IVU) or intravenous pyelograms (IVP).
A series of x-rays are taken of the abdomen at various time intervals. This usually takes up to an hour, but occasionally it may be necessary to take additional delayed images, which may continue for several hours.
Routine IVP[edit]
This procedure is most common for patients who have unexplained microscopic or macroscopic hematuria. It is used to ascertain the presence of a tumour or similar anatomy-altering disorders. The sequence of images is roughly as follows:
plain or Control KUB image;
immediate X-ray of just the renal area;
5 minute X-ray of just the renal area.
15 minute X-ray of just the renal area.
At this point, compression may or may not be applied (this is contraindicated in cases of obstruction).
In pyelography, compression involves pressing on the lower abdominal area, which results in distension of the upper urinary tract.[1]
If compression is applied: a 10 minutes post-injection X-ray of the renal area is taken, followed by a KUB on release of the compression.
If compression is not given: a standard KUB is taken to show the ureters emptying. This may sometimes be done with the patient lying in a prone position.
A post-micturition X-ray is taken afterwards. This is usually a coned bladder view.
Image Assessment[edit]
Ivu ppt
This document provides information about intravenous urography (IVU), including:
- IVU involves injecting contrast media intravenously and imaging the urinary tract as it is excreted
- It allows visualization of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder but has decreased in use due to alternatives like CT, US, and MRI
- The procedure involves injecting contrast, then taking x-ray images over time to show contrast passing through the urinary system
- Findings are evaluated for abnormalities, obstructions, or other issues by analyzing the appearance and timing of contrast in each part of the urinary tract.

Anterograde/Retrograde urethrography (RGU/MCU)
This document provides information about retrograde urethrography (RGU) and micturating cystourethrography (MCU). It defines these procedures, describes how they are performed, and what radiographic views are obtained. RGU involves retrograde injection of contrast into the urethra and is used to evaluate the membranous and anterior urethra. MCU involves filling the bladder with contrast and imaging the patient voiding to evaluate the bladder neck and urethra. Both procedures provide diagnostic information for conditions like strictures, reflux, fistulas and anatomical abnormalities.

The document discusses the anatomy and structures of the brain. It describes the layers of grey matter in the cerebral cortex, white matter containing bundles of axons, and the limbic system, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland. It also outlines the ventricular system containing cerebrospinal fluid, the cerebellum and brainstem, cerebral vasculature, and techniques for imaging the brain including CT and MRI.
Soft tissue tumours
Soft tissue tumors can be identified on radiography. Masses in the hands and feet are more likely to be benign, while those in the thigh, calf and arm indicate a higher likelihood of malignancy. Radiography can detect fat-containing masses, foreign bodies like glass and metal, and mineralization which occurs in 17% of soft tissue tumors and is a hallmark of venous malformations. Calcification patterns can also provide clues about tumor type.
Wrist Joint
This is a presentation by Dr Laith Fadhel thanking Dr Mamdouh Mahfouz, a senior radiologist in Egypt, for his contributions. In a brief 3 sentence summary, Dr Fadhel presented and expressed gratitude to Dr Mahfouz for his guidance and expertise in radiology.
Brain infection
Brain infections can occur from bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Common causes include tuberculosis (TB), neurosyphilis, fungal infections like aspergillus, or unknown causes leading to brain abscesses. Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in identifying the location and characteristics of infectious lesions in the brain to determine the underlying condition and guide treatment.
Sinuses & neck lesions
This document discusses several conditions affecting the sinuses, neck, and related areas. It covers glomus tumor, glomus jugular tumor, mucococele, osteoma, juvenile angiofibroma, squamous cell carcinoma, lesions of the para pharyngeal spaces and nasopharynx, quinsy abscess, adenoid cystic carcinoma of the larynx, and lesions of the thyroid gland and mandible bone.
Salviary glands
The salivary glands produce saliva, which is essential for the digestion of food and the maintenance of good oral health. There are three major pairs of salivary glands - the parotid glands located near the ears, the submandibular glands under the jaw bone, and the sublingual glands under the tongue. Together the salivary glands secrete saliva through ducts inside the mouth.
Ear
This document discusses different ear lesions that were presented by Dr. Laith Fadhel. It covers chronic stenosing otitis externa/fibrotic band, keratosis obturans, external auditory meatus squamous cell carcinoma in the external ear, and glomus tympanicum as a middle ear pathology, as well as some mentions of inner ear pathology.
Spine degenerative disease
The spine is made up of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs that allow movement and provide shock absorption. Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in evaluating the spine for conditions like fractures, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and tumors. Imaging modalities like X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and bone scans can detect abnormalities and aid physicians in diagnosing and treating various spinal disorders.
Von hippel –lindau disease
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder characterized by a high incidence of cysts in multiple organs and tumor development. Common manifestations include renal cell carcinoma in 25-40% of cases, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal angioma, pancreatic cysts and tumors, and pheochromocytoma. Imaging findings include lesions that are intermediate to high signal on MRI and variably enhancing on CT and IVU.
Urethra lesions
Urethral strictures can be traumatic, inflammatory, or neoplastic in nature. Inflammatory strictures are usually located in the proximal bulbar urethra and are caused by infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia. Traumatic strictures occur after catheterization or surgery and are commonly found in the posterior urethra. Both inflammatory and traumatic strictures can be multiple, vary in length, and lead to complications such as fistulas or pseudodiverticula if left untreated.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
