Suture granuloma after orchiectomy: sonography, doppler and elastography features

ABSTRACTSuture granuloma is a mass forming benign lesion that develops at the site of surgery as a foreign body reaction to non-absorbable suture material. We present a case of suture granuloma that developed at the inguinal region after orchiectomy, and define the sonography, color Doppler sonography and real-time ultrasound elastography findings in correlation with the histopathological findings

Bilateral epididymal Candida abscesses: Sonographic findings and sonographically guided fine-needle aspiration

We report the case of a 67-year-old diabetic man who presented 2 months after transurethral prostate surgery with impaired consciousness, urinary incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections that did not respond to antibiotic treatment. Sonographic findings suggested abscess formation (enlarged, heterogeneous epididymides and a central hypoechoic area in the head of the left epididymis). Aspirates obtained from sonographically guided needle biopsy were purulent. Staining showed budding yeast forms, and Candida albicans grew in culture. Systemic candidiasis was diagnosed. The patient underwent bilateral epididymo-orchiectomy, and pathologic analysis of resected specimens showed bilateral epididymal necrosis and disseminated abscess formation.

The Effect of the Types of Network Topologies on Non-Technical Losses in Secondary Electric Distribution Systems

IEEE/Industry-Applications-Society (IAS) 52nd Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I and CPS) -- MAY 01-05, 2016 -- Detroit, MIWOS: 000383222500002A portion of generated electrical power is lost in transmission and distribution systems while serviced to endusers. These losses are called technical and non-technical losses in electricity distributions systems. With privatization processes taken place over the world, huge debate arose regarding nontechnical losses. In this study, information about types of losses in distribution systems, privatization process in Turkish electricity distribution network and current loss percentages are given. Possible alterations in distribution network topology to decrease non-technical losses are examined using analytical methods. Best methodology against non-technical losses is determined for different network topologies and customer characteristics, using AHP method. Choosing a pilot network, in which losses are considerably high, a case study is conducted. Cost-benefit analysis is performed within the scope of case study. Results of the case study indicate substantial potential for reducing non-technical losses by just altering network topology, where 1.6% reduction in overall T& L rates is estimated.IEEE, Ind Applicat So

Diagnostic and Prognostic Impact of p63 Immunoreactivity in Renal Malignancies

OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of p63 reactivity to confirm the diagnosis of urothelial carcinomas (UCs) that present clinically as kidney masses and to determine the association of p63 expression with clinicopathologic features in UCs

Sonographic features of spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma

Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumor, with 55 reported cases to date.(1) There are limited reports on the imaging findings, particularly the sonographic appearance of this rare tumor. We report the sonographic and histopathologic features of a case of spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma and discuss the role of sonography in demonstration and diagnosis of the mass
