Quadri radiologici dell'edema polmonare nelle pneumopatie croniche.
No full textThree atypical patterns of cardiac failure and pulmonary edema, as frequently seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, are described; I. regional; II. miliary-like; III. Swiss-cheese like. Their importance in early diagnosis of pulmonary edema is discussed in the light of a review of a series of 98 patients whose pulmonary function was also investigated. Examples and statistical data are drown from this series
Correlazioni radiologiche e clinico-funzionali nelle pneumopatie croniche in corso di insufficienza cardiaca congestizia.
No full textTwo groups of patients were studied with serial correlated radiological functional analysis. Each group had a previous history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; however, on admission, only one group exhibited the clinical signs of this superimposed disease. The results of this research showed that chronic pulmonary disease is better defined by functional studies while cardiac failure (even in early stages) is always revealed by radiological examination
Valutazioni radiologiche e funzionali nelle pneumopatie croniche ostruttive in corso di insufficienza cardiaca congestizia.

III Workshop nazionale sulla defecografia: la fisioradiologia delle (neo)ampolle rettali (reservoir ileale, colo-ano-anastomosi, colostomia perineale continente)
No full text[Defecography in the diagnosis of fecal incontinence: an analysis of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)].
No full textTwo groups of patients with altered bowel habit and pelvic floor dysfunction, but comparable epidemiologic characteristics (i.e. n = 105 each; mean age and SD 47.3 +/- 15.8 yrs vs. 54.9 +/- 16.7 yrs; range 15-80 yrs vs. 9-88 yrs; F/M ratio 28:1 vs. 2.6:1) with the exception of the absence (or presence) of fecal incontinence, were examined with defecography, taking into account criteria other than anorectal angle values and anorectal junction mobility. At the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis a "barium leak sign", occurring either at rest or on straining was found to be a highly reliable index of fecal incontinence (specificity: 100% and 92-93%, respectively, intraobserver agreement K value = 0.82, Z = 21.58, p 10 mm at rest; (b) poor stop test (inability to interrupt the barium stream); (c) rectal diameter > 6.5 cm and < 4 cm (abnormally increased and reduced compliance, respectively). Defecography is a useful diagnostic tool in fecal incontinence and should precede anal endosonography, manometry and electromyography for proper therapeutic decision-making and in risk conditions, e.g., in the patients about to undergo elective pelvic surgery
