Summary: Variations in the anatomy of inferior vena cava (IVC) can have significant clinical implications, and a good understanding of its embryology and variations is crucial to prevent potential medical complications. This article describes a previously unreported variation of IVC, termed as a "sling" of a normal right IVC around the abdominal aorta. Cross-sectional imaging is a reliable method to evaluate IVC anatomy and may be important in preventing complications during surgery or interventional radiology procedures.

Summary: This study evaluated abdominal CT findings in 1,181 patients with COVID-19 and found that 20.3% had ischemic findings and 27.7% had non-ischemic findings. Bowel wall thickening and perivascular infiltration were the most frequent ischemic findings, while colitis and small bowel inflammation were the most frequent non-ischemic findings. Abdominal CT findings were associated with longer hospital stay and higher mortality rate.

Summary: This article focuses on the characteristic imaging findings of earthquake-related crush syndrome, which can be divided into two distinct subsections. It also discusses the typical accompanying findings of earthquake-related crush syndrome. Lower extremity compression in earthquake survivors leads to typical third-space edema, and other skeletal muscle regions, particularly rotator muscles, trapezius, and pectoral muscles, are also affected. Contrast-enhanced CT scans may facilitate the detection of myonecrosis, and adjusting the windowing of the images can be helpful.
