    Abstract We examined the utility of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurement using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for monitoring lower-limb blood flow and estimate the safe balloon occlusion/deflation time in patients with PAS who underwent prophylactic balloon occlusion of the abdominal artery (PBOA) during cesarean section (CS). During CS, the NIRS probes were positioned on either of the anterior tibial muscles. rSO2 was measured continuously during balloon occlusion/deflation. A cycle consisted of inflating the aortic balloon for 30 min and deflating it for 5 min. The rSO2 before/during balloon occlusion and after 5 min of balloon deflation were evaluated. Sixty-two lower limbs (fifteen women and data from 31 sessions of balloon inflation/deflation) were evaluated. rSO2 during balloon occlusion was significantly lower than rSO2 before balloon occlusion (57.9% ± 9.6% vs. 80.3% ± 6.0%;

    Abstract Purpose: To analyze the appropriateness of primary response for anaphylaxis due to iodinated contrast media (ICM) or gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA).
    Materials and methods: This retrospective study included all patients in whom intravenous contrast agents (five types of ICMs and four types of GBCAs) were administered at our hospital between April 2016 and September 2021. For the patients who developed anaphylaxis, we obtained data on the time records of contrast injection, anaphylaxis onset, and intramuscular adrenaline (epinephrine) administration.
    Results: Of the 76,555 ICM and 30,731 GBCA administrations, anaphylaxis occurred in 49 cases (0.05%), and in 48 cases (98.0%) the onset was within 30 min after administration with widely distributed times (median, 7.5 min; interquartile range, 4.5-10.8 min; max, 26 min). Intramuscular adrenaline administration was performed in 43 cases (87.8%), and this was done within five minutes after the onset in 37 cases (75.5%). Only in 24 cases (49.0%), there were time records of both the onset and adrenaline administration (if performed).
    Conclusion: Anaphylaxis occurred within 30 min after contrast injection in the majority of the cases, but times were widely distributed. Only in 75.5% of cases, appropriate primary treatment was performed, and the importance of keeping exact time records in patients' charts should be re-emphasized.

    Abstract Purpose: Our study aimed to identify the risk factors of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for predicting patient outcomes of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and placenta previa after prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery (PBOIIA).
    Materials and methods: This retrospective analysis was performed using the clinical records of 46 patients diagnosed with PAS and placenta previa who underwent PBOIIA during caesarean section (CS). The possible clinical risk factors for adverse maternal outcomes were evaluated by consulting patients' clinical records. The inclusion criteria for the massive bleeding group were as follows: estimated blood loss (EBL) > 2500 mL, packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion (>4 units), and need for hysterectomy or transcatheter arterial embolization after delivery. The MRI features were compared between the massive and non-massive bleeding groups.
    Results: Patients in the massive bleeding group (n = 22) had a significantly longer operation time (p < 0.001), more EBL (p < 0.001), more pRBC transfusions (p < 0.001), and a prolonged postoperative hospital stay (p < 0.05). MRI features showed a T2 dark bands, placenta bulge, and abnormal blood vessels in the placental bed more frequently in the massive bleeding group (p < 0.05). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, T2 dark bands (odds ratio 9.1, p = 0.048) and placental bulge (odds ratio 5.1, p = 0.014) remained statistically significant.
    Conclusion: T2 dark bands and placental bulges observed on an MRI can predict adverse maternal outcomes in patients with PAS and placenta previa undergoing PBOIIA. If these findings are observed on a preoperative MRI, effective management strategies should be prepared for the possibility of massive hemorrhage during CS.

Sixty-two lower limbs (fifteen women and data from 31 sessions of balloon inflation/deflation) were evaluated. rSO2 during balloon occlusion was significantly lower than rSO2 before balloon occlusion (57.9% ± 9.6% vs. 80.3% ± 6.0%; p < 0.01). There were no significant differences between rSO2 before balloon occlusion and rSO2 after 5 min of balloon deflation (80.3% ± 6.0% vs. 78.7% ± 6.6%; p = 0.07). Postoperatively, the lower limbs showed no ischemic symptoms. NIRS can assess lower-limb rSO2 during PBOA for PAS in real time to determine ischemia severity, duration, and recovery capacity.

    Abstract Purpose: We previously reported that T2 dark bands and placental bulges observed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict adverse maternal outcomes in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and placenta previa undergoing prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery. On the other hand, the risk factors associated with the use of prophylactic aortic balloon occlusion (PABO) have not been sufficiently investigated. This retrospective study aimed to identify MRI-based risk factors associated with adverse maternal outcomes in the context of PABO during a cesarean section (CS) for PAS and placenta previa.
    Materials and methods: Ethical approval was obtained for a data analysis of 40 patients diagnosed with PAS and placenta previa undergoing PABO during a CS. Clinical records, MRI features, and procedural details were examined. The inclusion criteria for the massive bleeding group were as follows: an estimated blood loss (EBL) > 2500 mL, packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion (>4 units), and the need for a hysterectomy or transcatheter arterial embolization after delivery. The massive and nonmassive bleeding groups were compared.
    Results: Among the 22 patients, those in the massive bleeding group showed significantly longer operative durations, a higher EBL (
    Conclusion: T2 dark bands on MRI were crucial predictors of adverse maternal outcomes in patients undergoing PABO for PAS or placenta previa during a CS. Recognizing these MRI features proactively indicates the need for effective management strategies during childbirth and emphasizes the importance of further prospective studies to validate and enhance these findings.

    Abstract Objectives: Lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma (LGSCC) has the potential to invade the alveolar bone. Traditionally, the diagnosis of LGSCC relied on morphological imaging, but inconsistencies between these assessments and surgical findings have been observed. This study aimed to assess the correlation between LGSCC bone marrow invasion and PET texture features and to enhance diagnostic accuracy by using machine learning.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of 159 LGSCC patients with pretreatment 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) examination from 2009 to 2017 was performed. We extracted radiomic features from the PET images, focusing on pathologic bone marrow invasion detection. Extracted features underwent the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm-based selection and were then used for machine learning via the XGBoost package to distinguish bone marrow invasion presence. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed.
    Results: From the 159 patients, 88 qualified for further analysis (59 men; average age, 69.2 years), and pathologic bone marrow invasion was identified in 69 (78%) of these patients. Three significant radiological features were identified: Gray level co-occurrence matrix_Correlation, INTENSITY-BASED_IntensityInterquartileRange, and MORPHOLOGICAL_SurfaceToVolumeRatio. An XGBoost machine-learning model, using PET radiomic features to detect bone marrow invasion, yielded an area under the curve value of 0.83.
    Conclusion: Our findings highlighted the potential of 18 F-FDG PET radiomic features, combined with machine learning, as a promising avenue for improving LGSCC diagnosis and treatment. Using 18 F-FDG PET texture features may provide a robust and accurate method for determining the presence or absence of bone marrow invasion in LGSCC patients.

    Abstract Life-threatening bleeding after oocyte retrieval is unusual. We report a case of massive vaginal bleeding requiring transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) after transvaginal US-directed follicle aspiration for oocyte retrieval and provide a brief review of cases in which the pseudoaneurysm of the injured artery was managed with a TAE approach. A 40-year-old woman presented massive vaginal bleeding after transvaginal ultrasonography-directed follicle aspiration for oocyte retrieval. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed active bleeding from the uterine ostium. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed for a pseudoaneurysm of the right pudendal artery to manage the hemorrhage. Potentially life-threatening bleeding should be recognized as a rare complication after oocyte retrieval to promptly establish the diagnosis and preserve the uterus.

    Abstract Child abuse can result from physical, verbal, or sexual harm. While child abuse often involves an action that harms the child, inaction, such as neglect, can also cause harm. We present a case in which child abuse was detected through computed tomography imaging findings of severe dental caries. This case was a 5-year-old girl who fell down the stairs and hit her head. The computed tomography of her head showed no abnormalities; however, severe dental caries was detected. The mother's incomplete history and inadequate explanation of injuries further made us suspect abuse. A whole-body computed tomography was conducted for child abuse screening, which showed an unnatural fracture in the left arm. Through these imaging findings, we were able to identify and help a victim of child abuse. Physicians should be aware that severe dental caries may be a sign of child abuse.
