Background: Diphenhydramine, a first-generation antihistamine, is the most common pharmacologic agent used to treat acute allergic reactions. Despite being highly effective in treating acute allergic reactions, first-generation H1 antihistamines cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to H1 receptors, which can lead to undesirable side effects, including drowsiness, sedation, fatigue, and decreased cognition (Church MK 2010).

A 44-year-old woman status post renal transplant 16 years earlier for diabetic nephropathy developed hypertension resistant to medical management. On surveillance ultrasound (not shown), the velocity in the transplant renal artery was 350 cm/s. She underwent angiography with a left femoral artery approach, which revealed an irregular, midrenal transplant artery stenosis (Fig 1a) and a small aneurysm in the proximal transplant renal artery that had been stable for several years.

Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment option that can significantly improve lower-urinary-tract symptoms (LUTSs) caused by benign prostate hyperplasia. Imaging evaluation for patients before PAE is mandatory to exclude other possible diseases or malignancies that may also cause LUTSs and help identify the origin of the prostatic artery (PA) (1).

Bone density decreases with age, increasing risk of a fracture or break. Your doctor may recommend a bone density test to confirm if you have osteoporosis. This disease causes the bones to thin, weaken and become brittle. X-ray technology determines the percentage of calcium and other minerals in your bones, often focusing on the hip, spine or forearm.

The authors describe an anatomic variant of left adrenal venous drainage in a 50-year-old woman with primary hyperaldosteronism who was referred for adrenal vein sampling (AVS). The patient underwent unstimulated sequential AVS via a right femoral venous approach and was found to have dual left adrenal venous drainage. The left adrenal gland drained conventionally into the left renal vein (Fig 1a, b) and into another vein draining into the suprarenal inferior vena cava.

A 63-year-old man with head and neck cancer who was unable to eat underwent gastrostomy tube placement. An existing nasoenteric tube was used to insufflate the stomach after administration of 1 mg of glucagon. The midbody of the stomach was punctured, and 3 gastropexy anchors (Cook, Bloomington, Indiana) were deployed via 3 separate punctures. A small incision was made between the anchors, and the stomach was punctured.
