- A rare case of spontaneous bladder perforation with osteomyelitis and paravesical abscess due to CA-MRSA clone USA100/ST5(2022) UGINO, Ricardo Torres da Silveira; CASSETTARI, Valeria; MARTINES, Brenda Margatho Ramos; LARENAS, Ricardo Iturbe; MELOCCO, Gregory; FUGITA, Oscar Eduardo HidetoshiSpontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder represents a rare condition that may complicate with paravesical abscess. Although Staphylococcus aureus may be a part of the intestinal tract flora, it is an unusual cause of abdominal or pelvic abscesses. We report the case of a male patient with spontaneous bladder perforation with osteomyelitis and paravesical abscess, secondary to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
- Diagnostic accuracy of a noninvasive hepatic ultrasound score for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)(2015) GOULART, Alessandra Carvalho; OLIVEIRA, Ilka Regina Souza de; ALENCAR, Airlane Pereira; SANTOS, Maira Solange Camara dos; SANTOS, Itamar Souza; MARTINES, Brenda Margatho Ramos; MEIRELES, Danilo Peron; MARTINES, Joao Augusto dos Santos; MISCIAGNA, Giovanni; BENSENOR, Isabela Martins; LOTUFO, Paulo AndradeCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Noninvasive strategies for evaluating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been investigated over the last few decades. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new hepatic ultrasound score for NAFLD in the ELSA-Brasil study. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Diagnostic accuracy study conducted in the ELSA center, in the hospital of a public university. METHODS: Among the 15,105 participants of the ELSA study who were evaluated for NAFLD, 195 individuals were included in this sub-study. Hepatic ultrasound was performed (deep beam attenuation, hepatorenal index and anteroposterior diameter of the right hepatic lobe) and compared with the hepatic steatosis findings from 64-channel high-resolution computed tomography (CT). We also evaluated two clinical indices relating to NAFLD: the fatty liver index (FLI) and the hepatic steatosis index (HSI). RESULTS: Among the 195 participants, the NAFLD frequency was 34.4%. High body mass index, high waist circumference, diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia were associated with high hepatic attenuation and large anteroposterior diameter of the right hepatic lobe, but not with the hepatorenal index. The hepatic ultrasound score, based on hepatic attenuation and the anteroposterior diameter of the right hepatic lobe, presented the best performance for NAFLD screening at the cutoff point >= 1 point; sensitivity: 85.1%; specificity: 73.4%; accuracy: 79.3%; and area under the curve (AUC 0.85; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.78-0.91)]. FLI and HSI presented lower performance (AUC 0.76; 95% CI: 0.69-0.83) than CT. CONCLUSION: The hepatic ultrasound score based on hepatic attenuation and the anteroposterior diameter of the right hepatic lobe has good reproducibility and accuracy for NAFLD screening.
