Because it is rare, acute small bowel obstruction due to right paraduodenal hernia is an entity with which radiologists are not entirely familiar. Its clinical importance, however, lies in the fat that delayed diagnosis leads to significantly increased morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of small bowel obstruction due to right paraduodenal hernia in which all the known characteristic findings were demonstrated.

3.Duodenal Injury after Blunt Abdominal Trauma: Report of Two Cases.
Journal of the Korean Society of Traumatology 2012;25(3):94-96
Duodenal injuries following a blunt or penetrating trauma are uncommon and account for just 3% to 5% of all abdominal injuries. About 22% of all duodenal injuries are caused by blunt trauma. An overlooked injury or delayed diagnosis of duodenal injury may lead to increased mortality and morbidity. We report two cases of a duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma.

We analysed the 16 cases of the perilunate dislocations (PLD) and fracture-dislocations (PLFD) to study the distribution of the different forms and provides additional information about the perilunate pattern of injury. The cases were followed at least 1 year and an average of 2 years and 3 months. The results were as follows: l. All of the cases, the direction of the dislocation was dorsal. The PLD was 4 cases (25%) and PLFD was 12 cases (75%). The transscapholid perilunate fracture-dislocation (TS-PLFD) was the most common type. 2. Scaphoid fracture was present in 9 cases (56%), It was transverse fracture in the middle 1/3. 3. Missed or delayed diagnoses were noted in 3 cases (18%). 4. Overall functional results were graded as exellent in 2 cases (13%), good in 9 cases (56%), fair in 3 cases (18%) and poor in 2 cases (13%).

Cervical spine injury occurs in 3% of blunt trauma patients, and 10% of patients with cervical spine injuries have an associated head injury. The early recognition of cervical spine injury and treatment of the secondary injury are important in the management of trauma patients. At the time of diagnosis of cervical spine injury, 5~30% of patients have been reported to have experienced missed or delayed diagnosis. Of these, 10.5~29% were associated with permanent and critical neurologic injury, for example, death, quadriplesia, ect. The writers experienced two cases of missed traumatic cervical spine injury.

Because nonspecific colonic ulcer is an unusual condition and varies markedly in clinical presentation and course, preoperative clinical diagnosis of nonspecific colonic ulcer is very difficult, But now, preoperative clinical diagnosis can he made by advent of colonofiberscopy. And, it is very important to diagnose this disease early, because late diagnosis make a poor prognosis. We report a case of nonspecific colonic ulcer diagnosed by repeated colonofiberscopy and treated with surgery.

Fracture of the scaphoid constitute 60% to 70% of all diagnosed carpal injury. The acute fracture will heal approximately 90% of the time if recognized early and properly immobilized. But nonunion are common since the symtoms do not alert patients to seek early medical treatment and the diagnosis is easily missed. Authors have experienced 19 cases of scaphoid nonunion and accomplished good result in all case by Russe procedure. The results were summerized as follow: 1 The cause of fratures was mainly due to fall down dinjury (36.8%). 2. The most common mechanism of the fracture was fall on the outstretched hand (52.7%). 3. Fractures were shown on the anterior-posterior, lateral and billiards view in all cases. 4. In ten cases, the fractures were found on the waist of scaphoid. 5. The cases of nonunion were probably inadequate intial treatment and delayed diagnosis. 6. The good results were obtained by bone graft according to Russe procedure.

Lumbosacral fracture-dislocation is very rare because of the characteristic anatomical features, and various displacements by injury mechanisms have been reported. Most of the reports were displaced by flexion, distraction, compression and rotation. Complete reduction and appropriate treatment can be difficult or impossible in the case of delayed diagnosis. We report a case of lumbosacral fracture & dislocation that occured in horizontal shear and flexion, which was correctly diagnosed and treated successfully with partial corpectomy, open reduction, posterior interbody fusion and transpedicular fixation with posterolateral fusion by posterior approach only.

Objectives:
Responding to the reality of neonate patients with delayed childhood development due to late diagnosis of and intervention on hearing impairment, this study aims to determine the features based on time-frequency domain of auditory brainstem response (ABR) signals and to test the protocol on ABR signals from PhysioNet.
Methods:
This is done by pre-processing, performing time-frequency analysis, and characterizing hearing impairment using the dominant features of the ABR. In this study, normal (N) and hearing impaired (HI) ABR adult human signals were acquired from Physionet.org, a publicly available database. Considering its high signal-to-noise ratio, numerous filters and transformations were applied to extract the ABR. Consequently, the features acquired — dominant frequency and bigrams, were used as data classifiers.
Results:
Initial results using only N classifiers, that is features from the Normal dataset, and bandpass Chebyshev filter with a lower cut-off frequency of 60 Hz show that the tests yielded low to middle sensitivity. Further tests were done to improve the sensitivity that incorporated the HI classifiers, used data filtered with a low cut-off frequency of 300 Hz, and data divided per stimulus intensity level.
Conclusion
Conclusions made are 1) data with both N and HI classifiers have higher sensitivity than those using only N classifiers, 2) data with a Chebyshev cut-off frequency of 300 Hz have a higher sensitivity than those with 60 Hz, and 3) data divided per intensity level have a higher sensitivity than data analyzed as a whole, and that features with stimulus intensity in middle ranges have a better distinction between HI and N patients.
