유아에서 흔치 않지만, 선천적 혹은 후천적 원인으로 혈관에 의해 기도가 눌릴 수 있다. 8개월 남자 환아가 승모판 성형술, 동맥관 개존증 결찰 후 좌측 폐의 무기폐가 발생하였다. 흉부 컴퓨터 단층 촬영상 동맥관 개존증 결찰 후 남은 비대해진 하행대동맥에 의해 좌측 폐의 무기폐가 발생하였다. 흉부 컴퓨터 단층 촬영상 동맥관 개존증 결찰 후 남은 비대해진 하행대동맥에 의해 좌측 주기관지가 눌리는 소견이 관찰되었다. 결찰 부위를 완전히 분리하고 하행대동맥을 봉합하여 크기를 줄여 기관지 압박을 해결할 수 있었다. 술 후 환자는 특별한 합병증 없이 퇴원하였으며 외래 추적 관찰 중이다.

A female 8-year-old Pug weighing 7.3 kg and a female 10-year-old Maltese dog weighing 3.5 kg showing anorexia and vomiting for a few weeks were referred to Veterinary Medical leaching Hospital, Seoul National University. Radiographic findings were an enlarged right kidney in a pug dog and a radiopaque material on the right ureteral region lateral to the third lumbar vertebrae with indefinite right kidney contour in a Maltese dog, repectively. Excretory urography performed in a Pug dog revealed a poor opacified enlarged right kidney with absent of pelvic recesses and pelvic dilation with proximal ureteral dilation on contralateral kidney. Ultrasonographic findings were enlarged kidney with dilated pelvis and echogenic sediment within the medulla in both dogs and especially an engorged proximal ureter and a thin rim of functional renal tissue remains in a Maltese dog. Those diagnostic findings indicated high possibility of pyelonephritis and these were confirmed by pathologic examination. Radiography and ultrasonography, although not giving final diagnosis for pyelonephritis, are useful for assessment and diagnosis of pyelonephritis.

An eight-month-old, intact female Jindo, weighing 9 kg with a one-day history of acute bloody diarrhea was referred. Plain abdominal radiographic findings included evidence of a soft tissue tubular mass within the dilated colon. In ultrasonographs, a target-like mass was identified with multiple hyperechoic and hypoechoic parallel wall layers. A barium enema showed a large radiolucent filling defect within the colon and a completely occlusive lumen. On the basis of these images, ileocecocolic and colocolic intussusception was diagnosed. Surgical manual reduction, resection and anastomosis were performed. The patient recovered normally without any complications or recurrence.

In this report, four unusual communications between external and internal iliac veins of the left side have been presented. The lowest communication was the narrowest measuring about 2 mm in diameter, the second measured 6 mm, the third had a diameter of 7 mm and the last communication measured 5 mm in breadth. The upper three communications were twisted in a helical manner. The internal iliac vein had its normal tributaries except that the iliolumbar vein drained into the external iliac vein at the level of the third communication. The external iliac vein was slightly dilated just below the level of lowest communication.

A 2-year-old, spayed female, Korean domestic short-hair cat was presented with depression and vomiting. The patient had history of weight loss lasting seven months. Physical examination revealed icterus in the pinna, oral mucosa, and sclera. Based on ultrasonography and computed tomography, tentative diagnosis was extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction with acquired portosystemic shunt (PSS). Tumor or inflammation of hepatobiliary system was suspected as the cause of obstruction of the common bile duct. But it could not be determined without biopsy. The severely dilated cystic duct was considered to cause portal hypertension and secondary multiple PSS. The patient expired without histopathologic examination.

A 7-year-old intact female Shih-Tzu with chylothorax was presented. Percutaneous popliteal computed tomographic lymphangiography was performed to evaluate the thoracic duct and seek any potential cause of chylothorax. Despite two attempts, visualization of the thoracic duct failed and perianal subcutaneous computed tomographic lymphangiography with injection of iodinated, nonionic water-soluble contrast medium (0.6 ml/kg) was performed. A single branch of intact thoracic duct and dilated and tortuous lymphatics were detected. It was diagnosed as idiopathic chylothorax. Perianal subcutaneous lymphangiography is considered a less-invasive, easy and reliable method to visualize lymphatics in patients with chylothorax.

A 6-year-old intact male Maltese dog presented with a history of blindness and ataxia. Neuro-ophthalmic examination revealed dilated pupils with absent pupillary light reflexes and menace response in both eyes. Mild peripapillary edema was noted in the fundus of the right eye. After magnetic resonance imaging, the dog was provisionally diagnosed with meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology. Follow-up funduscopy was performed to monitor the condition of the optic discs for three years. Despite of the treatment with prednisolone, the optic nerve progressed to atrophy and the dog couldn't restore vision.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have recently been gaining popularity in the medical image analysis field because of their image segmentation capabilities. In this paper, we present a CNN that performs automated brain tumor segmentations of sparsely annotated 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Our CNN is based on 3D U-net architecture, and it includes separate Dilated and Depth-wise Convolutions. It is fully-trained on the BraTS 2018 data set, and it produces more accurate results even when compared to the winners of the BraTS 2017 competition despite having a significantly smaller amount of parameters.

In this paper, we present a new architecture for semantic segmentation. Semantic segmentation aims at a pixel-wise classification which is important to fully understand images. Previous semantic segmentation networks use features of multi-layers in the encoder to predict final results. However, they do not contain various receptive fields in the multi-layers features, which easily lead to inaccurate results for boundaries between different classes and small objects. To solve this problem, we propose a multi-path feature fusion module that allows for features of each layers to contain various receptive fields by use of a set of dilated convolutions with different dilatation rates. Various experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms previous methods in terms of mean intersection over unit (mIoU).

Bronchiectasis, which is characterized by irreversibly damaged and dilated bronchi, causes significant symptoms, poor quality of life, and increased economic burden and mortality rates. Despite its increasing prevalence and clinical significance, bronchiectasis was previously regarded as an orphan disease, and ideal treatment of this disease has been poorly understood. The European Respiratory Society and British Thoracic Society have recently published guidelines to assist physicians in the clinical field. Guidelines and reports suggest comprehensive management that includes both non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment. Physiotherapy and pulmonary rehabilitation are two of the most important non-pharmacologic therapies in bronchiectasis patients; long-term inhaled antibiotics and macrolide therapy have gained significant evidence in reducing exacerbation risk in frequent exacerbators. In this review, we summarize recent updates on bronchiectasis treatment to prevent exacerbation and manage clinical deterioration.
