Early diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis.

This study demonstrates that the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis can sometimes be made before the full-blown clinical and radiographic findings are manifest. Of 12 infants with films available prior to diagnosis of the disease, nine had early selective dilatation of small bowel and little or no air in the colon. Necrotizing enterocolitis should be foremost in the differential diagnosis when this finding is coupled with signs such as abdominal distention, acidosis, and diarrhea.

The Ask-Upmark kidney. Roentgenographic and pathological features.

The Ask-Upmark kidney represents an unusual manifestation of a segmental hypoplastic kidney in which the lesion may be local or diffuse, and may involve one or both kidneys. It is almost always associated with hypertension and is, therefore, potentially curable when localized to a single kidney. It is imperative to recognize this disease in order to distinguish it from other entities that cause hypertension.

Roentgenographic manifestations of methadone-induced pulmonary edema.

Twenty cases of methadone-induced pulmonary edema confirmed by clinical, laboratory and roentgenographic findings were extensively reviewed and the roentgenographic manifestations defined in terms of patterns, distribution, and duration of the process. Drug tolerance is a major factor in determining the severity of toxicity. Roentgenographic clearing in 48 hours or less, clinical improvement and pathogen-free sputum aspirates serve to differentiate edema from pneumonia.

New thoughts concerning xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (X-P).

A clinical and roentgenographic analysis of 13 patients with pathologically proved xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (X-P) has demonstrated that many previously accepted truisms associated with this disease may not be valid. As a result of this study it is suggested that X-P: 1. Does have a prominant female distribution. 2. May arise relatively acutely. 3. Can be associated with a well-functioning kidney. 4. May destroy the kidney and collecting system. 5. Does not demonstrate neovascularity. 6. Can be distinguished angiographically from hypernephroma. 7. May be associated with diabetes. Other important facts were again observed: 1. X-P is still often associated with staghorn calculi and urinary tract obstruction. 2. Proteus mirabilis is the main offending organism.
