CT diagnosis of a post-embolization ischemic diverticulitis of Meckel
No full textA 23-year-old man presented with hypovolemic shock due to a lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Radiological and endoscopic investigation did not reveal the bleeding site. Emergency visceral angiography showed contrast extravasation at a right-sided branch of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Embolization of the bleeding point was performed, resulting in bleeding cessation. One week later, the patient presented with a new episode of moderate anal blood loss associated with diffuse abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an ischemic small bowel diverticulum that was treated by a laparoscopically-assisted segmental small bowel resection. Intraoperative and pathologic analysis confirmed a post-embolization ischemic diverticulitis of Meckel.status: Publishe
The Urban Concrete Innovation
No full textThis book is the joint and highly acknowledged effort of members of EU-projects URBCON and DuRSAAM. Basic insights and more detailed information are provided on eco-friendly concrete targeting to be free of traditional Portland cement and targeting to be free of primary resourced construction minerals, so to avoid using Earths primary minerals, lower CO2 impact and keep excellent technical performance. Examples of concrete compositions are provided, application and tendering aspects are discussed, practical applications are described by means of some historical and recent cases, … and many more. This e-handbook can help you to become actively involved into a more sustainable built environment.This open access e-handbook is the joint effort of the EU-projects URBCON and DuRSAAM
