We present a rare case of multiple focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with greater than 20 FNH lesions and coexistent liver hemangiomata. Particular attention is paid to the MRI characteristics of this disease process and the features of "multiple FNH syndrome" are discussed.
We present a rare case of diffuse abdominal angiomatosis occurring in a 19-year-old male; particular attention is paid to the MR imaging features of this disease process.
Cardiovascular disease continues to be a major health concern and leads to significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. Evidence for prophylactic use of beta-blockade to decrease these complications continues to grow. Not all patients benefit from perioperative beta-blockade, thus a thorough preoperative cardiac assessment should be performed with every patient undergoing surgery. Although physicians may have doubts with this new strategy, the literature overwhelmingly supports prophylactic beta-blockade use as a safe, efficacious, and cost effective new therapy in patients at risk for cardiac complications.
