Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment Previously only defined by postmortem analysis, the use of flat panel catheter angiotomography allows definition of spinal cord transmedullary venous anastomoses. Summary Flat panel catheter angiotomography, a recently developed angiographic technique, offers a spinal equivalent
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment Two hundred patients with nodular goiter were treated with surgery, and an equal number were treated with radiofrequency ablation. Surgical resection and ablation were both effective, but ablation had fewer complications and fewer hospital days.
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comments Ninety-one patients were scanned by MR at 0–3 hours from stroke onset, and 70 patients within 3–6 hours. Collateral status, but not time from stroke onset to imaging, was a predictor of the size of
