Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening combined with ultrasound (US) with those of digital mammography (DM) combined with US in women with dense breasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective database search identified consecutive asymptomatic women with dense breasts who underwent breast cancer screening with DBT or DM and whole-breast US simultaneously between June 2016 and July 2019. Women who underwent DBT + US (DBT cohort) and DM + US (DM cohort) were matched using 1:2 ratio according to mammographic density, age, menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, and a family history of breast cancer. The cancer detection rate (CDR) per 1000 screening examinations, abnormal interpretation rate (AIR), sensitivity, and specificity were compared. RESULTS A total of 863 women in the DBT cohort were matched with 1726 women in the DM cohort (median age, 53 years; interquartile range, 40-78 years) and 26 breast cancers (9 in the DBT cohort and 17 in the DM cohort) were identified. The DBT and DM cohorts showed comparable CDR (10.4 [9 of 863; 95% confidence interval {CI}: 4.8-19.7] vs. 9.8 [17 of 1726; 95% CI: 5.7-15.7] per 1000 examinations, respectively; P = 0.889). DBT cohort showed a higher AIR than the DM cohort (31.6% [273 of 863; 95% CI: 28.5%-34.9%] vs. 22.4% [387 of 1726; 95% CI: 20.5%-24.5%]; P < 0.001). The sensitivity for both cohorts was 100%. In women with negative findings on DBT or DM, supplemental US yielded similar CDRs in both DBT and DM cohorts (4.0 vs. 3.3 per 1000 examinations, respectively; P = 0.803) and higher AIR in the DBT cohort (24.8% [188 of 758; 95% CI: 21.8%-28.0%] vs. 16.9% [257 of 1516; 95% CI: 15.1%-18.9%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION DBT screening combined with US showed comparable CDR but lower specificity than DM screening combined with US in women with dense breasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the introduction of new anti-tuberculosis drugs, all-oral regimens with shorter treatment durations for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis have been anticipated. We aimed to investigate whether a new all-oral regimen was non-inferior to the conventional regimen including second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs for 20-24 months in the treatment of fluoroquinolone-sensitive multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. METHODS In this multicentre, randomised, open-label phase 2/3 non-inferiority trial, we enrolled men and women aged 19-85 years with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis confirmed by phenotypic or genotypic drug susceptibility tests or rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis by genotypic tests at 12 participating hospitals throughout South Korea. Participants with fluoroquinolone-resistant multidrug-resistant tuberculosis were excluded. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to two groups using a block randomisation, stratified by the presence of diabetes and cavitation on baseline chest radiographs. The investigational group received delamanid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide for 9 months, and the control group received a conventional 20-24-month regimen, according to the 2014 WHO guidelines. The primary outcome was the treatment success rate at 24 months after treatment initiation in the modified intention-to-treat population and the per-protocol population. Participants who were "cured" and "treatment completed" were defined as treatment success following the 2014 WHO guidelines. Non-inferiority was confirmed if the lower limit of a 97·5% one-sided CI of the difference between the groups was greater than -10%. Safety data were collected for 24 months in participants who received a predefined regimen at least once. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02619994. FINDINGS Between March 4, 2016, and Sept 14, 2019, 214 participants were enrolled, 168 (78·5%) of whom were included in the modified intention-to-treat population. At 24 months after treatment initiation, 60 (70·6%) of 85 participants in the control group had treatment success, as did 54 (75·0%) of 72 participants in the shorter-regimen group (between-group difference 4·4% [97·5% one-sided CI -9·5% to ∞]), satisfying the predefined non-inferiority margin. No difference in safety outcomes was identified between the control group and the shorter-regimen group. INTERPRETATION 9-month treatment with oral delamanid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide could represent a new treatment option for participants with fluoroquinolone-sensitive multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract
Background Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with or without digital mammography (DM) is the primary method of breast cancer screening. However, the sufficiency of DBT screening for women at average risk and the need for supplemental whole-breast US needs further investigation. Purpose To evaluate the added value of supplemental US screening following combined DM/DBT. Materials and Methods A retrospective database search identified consecutive asymptomatic women who underwent DM/DBT and radiologist-performed screening breast US simultaneously between March 2016 and December 2018. The cancer detection rate (CDR) per 1000 screening examinations, sensitivity, specificity, and abnormal interpretation rate of DM/DBT and DM/DBT combined with US were compared. Results A total of 1003 women (mean age, 56 years ± 8.6 [standard deviation]) were included. Among them, 12 cancers (mean invasive tumor size, 14 mm; range, 6-33 mm) were diagnosed. With DM/DBT and DM/DBT combined with US, the CDRs were 9.0 per 1000 screening examinations (nine of 1003 women; 95% CI: 4.1, 17) and 12 per 1000 screening examinations (12 of 1003 women; 95% CI: 6.2, 21), respectively, and the abnormal interpretation rates were 7.8% (78 of 1003 women; 95% CI: 6.2, 9.6) and 24% (243 of 1003 women; 95% CI: 22, 27). In women with negative findings at DM/DBT, supplementary US yielded a CDR of 3.2 per 1000 examinations (three of 925 women; 95% CI: 0.7, 9.4), sensitivity of 100% (three of three women; 95% CI: 29, 100), specificity of 82% (760 of 922 women; 95% CI: 80, 85), and abnormal interpretation rate of 18% (165 of 925 women; 95% CI: 15, 21). The three additional US-detected cancers were identified in women with dense breasts; no benefit was observed in women with nondense breasts. Conclusion The addition of breast US to digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis yielded an additional 0.7-9.4 cancers per 1000 women at average risk, with a substantial increase in the abnormal interpretation rate. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of a nationwide sample database. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to compare the long-term incidence of reoperation for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) after anterior fusion, posterior fusion, and decompression. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Surgical treatment for LSS can be largely divided into 2 categories: decompression only and decompression with fusion. A previous nationwide study reported that fusion surgery was performed in 10% of patients with LSS, and the 10-year reoperation rate was approximately 17%. However, with the development of surgical techniques and changes in surgical trends, these results should be reassessed. METHODS The National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort of the Republic of Korea was utilized to establish a cohort of adult patients (N = 1400) who first underwent surgery for LSS during 2005 to 2007. Patients were followed for 8 to 10 years. Considering death before reoperation as a competing event, reoperation hazards were compared among surgical techniques using a Fine and Gray regression model after adjustment for sex, age, diabetes, osteoporosis, Charlson comorbidity index, severity of disability, type of medical coverage, and type of hospital. RESULTS The overall cumulative incidence of reoperation was 6.2% at 2 years, 10.8% at 5 years, and 18.4% at 10 years. The cumulative incidence of reoperation was 20.6%, 12.6%, and 18.6% after anterior fusion, posterior fusion, and decompression, respectively, at 10 years postoperatively (P = 0.44). The first surgical technique did not affect the reoperation type (P = 0.27). Decompression was selected as the surgical technique for reoperation in 83.5% of patients after decompression, in 72.7% of patients after anterior fusion, and in 64.3% of patients after posterior fusion. CONCLUSION The initial surgical technique did not affect reoperation during the 10-year follow-up period. Decompression was the most commonly used technique for reoperation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to assess the direct effect of protamine on conventional thrombelastography in vitro. Protamine was added to blood samples collected from 25 adult cardiac surgical patients prior to the induction of anaesthesia and after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass. The final protamine concentrations were 0 (control), 0.05 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml and 0.2 mg/ml (i.e. sufficient to reverse heparin 0, 5, 10 and 20 IU/ml respectively, assuming a 1:1 reversal ratio). In the pre-induction samples, protamine was associated with increases in r time and reductions in maximum amplitude (P<0.01). After bypass, the control samples demonstrated a heparin effect as expected, which was corrected by the addition of protamine 0.05 mg/ml. However, the higher concentrations of protamine were again associated with increases in r time and reductions in maximum amplitude (P<0.01). The results indicate that protamine has a direct anticoagulant effect on conventional thrombelastography in vitro. This effect occurs whether protamine is present alone, or whether protamine is present in excess after neutralization of heparin. Unless this effect is taken into account, excess protamine may confound the interpretation of conventional thrombelastography in cardiac surgical patients.

Forward-bending posture, which is primarily caused by buckling of the ligamentum flavum, may be improved via simple decompression surgery. PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to identify the risk factors for sagittal imbalance and to describe the outcomes of simple decompression surgery. STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective nested case-control study PATIENT SAMPLE: This was a retrospective study that included 83 consecutive patients (M:F=46:37; mean age, 68.5±7.7 years) who underwent decompression surgery and a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary end point was normalization of sagittal imbalance after decompression surgery. METHODS Sagittal imbalance was defined as a C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) ≥40 mm on a 36-inch-long lateral whole spine radiograph. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for sagittal imbalance. Bilateral decompression was performed via a unilateral approach with a tubular retractor. The SVA was measured on serial radiographs performed 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The prognostic factors for sagittal balance recovery were determined based on various clinical and radiological parameters. RESULTS Sagittal imbalance was observed in 54% (45/83) of patients, and its risk factors were old age and a large mismatch between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis. The 1-year normalization rate was 73% after decompression surgery, and the median time to normalization was 1 to 3 months. Patients who did not experience SVA normalization exhibited low thoracic kyphosis (hazard ratio [HR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.10) (p<.01) and spondylolisthesis (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.17-0.61) before surgery. CONCLUSIONS Sagittal imbalance was observed in more than 50% of LSS patients, but this imbalance was correctable via simple decompression surgery in 70% of patients.

Abstract
SUMMARY In patients in the Direct Assessment of Nonvertebral Fractures in Community Experience (DANCE) observational study with and without a prior vertebral or hip fracture, the incidence of nonvertebral fractures was lower with >6 months of teriparatide treatment than during the first 6 months. INTRODUCTION Clinical evidence on the effect of teriparatide in patients with prior fracture is limited. In the DANCE observational study, the incidence of nonvertebral fragility fractures (NVFX) decreased significantly in patients receiving teriparatide for >6 months (6-24 months) versus >0 to ≤6 months (reference period). METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis to assess the effect of teriparatide 20 μg/day in patients who entered DANCE with prior vertebral or hip fractures. The incidence of patients experiencing a NVFX for four 6-month intervals during and after treatment was compared with the reference period. RESULTS Overall, 4085 patients received ≥1 dose of teriparatide. Of 3720 with sufficient data for efficacy analysis, 692 had prior vertebral fracture, including 179 with previous kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty; 290 had prior hip fracture. These patients were older, and those with prior vertebral fractures had more comorbid conditions at baseline than those without prior vertebral fractures. The incidence of patients experiencing NVFX declined over time in all patient groups. The fracture incidence rate declined 49 and 46%, respectively, in patients with and without prior vertebral fracture and was 63 and 46% lower in patients with previous kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty and without prior vertebral fracture. NVFX declined 43 and 48% in patients with and without prior hip fracture. The reduced incidence over time was consistent in the subgroups (all interaction p values >0.05). Patients with prior fracture were more likely to experience serious adverse events. CONCLUSION The incidence of NVFX decreased over time in patients receiving teriparatide in DANCE regardless of prior fracture status.

Abstract
The aims of the current work included: development of a new production method for nanoparticles of water-insoluble drugs in combination with lipids, characterization of the nanoparticles and development of lipid nanosuspension formulations, and investigation of the feasibility of delivering the nanosuspensions as aerosols for inhalation using Aradigm's AERx Single Dose Platform (SDP) with micron-sized nozzles and the all mechanical AERx Essence with sub-micron-sized nozzles. The continuous SFEE method was used for particle precipitation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). The method allowed for production of stable particulate aqueous suspensions of a narrow size distribution, with a volume mean diameter below 30 nm (D99% cumulative volume below 100 nm). Thus the particle size obtained was significantly smaller than previously has been achieved by other techniques. The residual solvent content in the final suspension was consistently below 20 ppm. Drug loading values between 10-20% w/w drug were obtained for model compounds ketoprofen and indomethacin in formulation with lipids such as tripalmitin, tristearin and Gelucire 50/13. It was observed that the loading capacity achieved was higher than the thermodynamic limit of the solubility of the drugs in molten lipids. Lipid nanosuspension formulations were successfully aerosolized using both of the AERx systems. As measured by both cascade impactor and laser diffraction, the aerosol fine particle fraction (FPF) was comparable to drug solution formulations typically used in these devices; i.e., greater than 90% of the aerosol mass resided in particles less than 3.5 mum aerodynamic diameter.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify molecular defects in a girl with clinical features of MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and lactic acidosis) and MERRF (ragged-red fibres) syndromes. METHODS The enzyme complex activities of the mitochondrial respiratory chain were assayed. Temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis was used to scan the entire mitochondrial genome for unknown mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, which were then identified by direct DNA sequencing. RESULTS A novel heteroplasmic mtDNA mutation, G12207A, in the tRNA(Ser(AGY)) gene was identified in the patient who had a history of developmental delay, feeding difficulty, lesions within her basal ganglia, cerebral atrophy, proximal muscle weakness, increased blood lactate, liver dysfunction, and fatty infiltration of her muscle. Muscle biopsy revealed ragged red fibres and pleomorphic mitochondria. Study of skeletal muscle mitochondria revealed complex I deficiency associated with mitochondrial proliferation. Real time quantitative PCR analysis showed elevated mtDNA content, 2.5 times higher than normal. The tRNA(Ser(AGY)) mutation was found in heteroplasmic state (92%) in the patient's skeletal muscle. It was not present in her unaffected mother's blood or in 200 healthy controls. This mutation occurs at the first nucleotide of the 5' end of tRNA, which is involved in the formation of the stem region of the amino acid acceptor arm. Mutation at this position may affect processing of the precursor RNA, the stability and amino acid charging efficiency of the tRNA, and overall efficiency of protein translation. CONCLUSION This case underscores the importance of comprehensive mutational analysis of the entire mitochondrial genome when a mtDNA defect is strongly suggested.

Abstract
DAP12 is an ITAM-bearing membrane protein that is associated with activating receptors in natural killer cells, granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytes. Myeloid DAP12-associating lectin-1 (MDL-1) is a type II membrane protein that associates with DAP12. In this study, we report the molecular cloning of two isoforms of porcine MDL-1 cDNA from pulmonary alveolar macrophages. The porcine MDL-1 short form has 165 amino acids and 70% sequence identity with the mouse MDL-1 short form. The long form has 20 more amino acids in the stalk region and 71% sequence identity with human MDL-1 and 67% with the mouse MDL-1 long form. Porcine MDL-1 contains a conserved lysine in the transmembrane domain. There are six putative N-linked glycosylation sites in the MDL-1 long form. MDL-1 transcripts were detected exclusively in macrophages and monocytes by RT-PCR. When transfected into 293 cells, porcine MDL-1 is expressed on the cell surface associated with DAP12.

Abstract
Pig immunoreceptor DAP10 cDNA was cloned from a peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) cDNA library using human DAP10 cDNA as a probe. The length of the pig DAP10 cDNA is 465 bp and it contains an open reading frame of 237 bp. The predicted polypeptide sequence is 79 amino acids, consisting of an 18-amino acid leader, a 16-amino acid extracellular domain, a 24-amino acid transmembrane segment, and a 21-amino acid cytoplasmic domain. The amino acid sequence of pig DAP10 has 68% and 78% sequence identity with human DAP10 and mouse DAP10, respectively. Pig DAP10 has a conserved aspartic acid in the transmembrane domain, two cysteines in the extracellular domain, and a phophatidylinositol-3 kinase-binding site (YxxM) in the cytoplasmic region. Genomic organization reveals that pig DAP10 comprises four exons and three introns. Pig DAP10 and DAP12 are genetically linked on Chromosome (Chr) 6 at 6q21 in opposite transcriptional orientation, separated by 152 bp. In Northern blot analysis, DAP10 transcripts were detected predominantly in lymphohematopoietic tissues. Pig NKG2D cDNA has an open reading frame of 642 bp. Its expected polypeptide sequence is 214 amino acids. Pig NKG2D has 66% sequence identity with human NKG2D and 56% identity with mouse NKG2D. The NKG2D gene maps to pig Chr 5q25. RT-PCR analysis reveals that pig NKG2D transcripts are expressed in PBLs, NK cells, macrophages, and monocytes. When transiently transfected into COS-7 cells, pig NKG2D requires DAP10 for cell surface expression.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Longitudinal assessment of the phenotypic changes in P. aeruginosa isolated from young children with CF is lacking. This study investigated genotypic and phenotypic changes in P. aeruginosa from oropharynx (OP) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in a cohort of 40 CF patients during the first 3 years of life; antibody response was also examined. A high degree of genotypic variability was identified, and each patient had unique genotypes. Early isolates had a phenotype distinct from those of usual CF isolates: generally nonmucoid and antibiotic susceptible. Genotype and phenotype correlated between OP and BALF isolates. As determined by culture, 72.5% of patients demonstrated P. aeruginosa during their first 3 years. On the basis of combined culture and serologic results, 97.5% of patients had evidence of infection by age 3 years, which suggests that P. aeruginosa infection occurs early in CF and may be intermittent or undetectable by culture.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells express receptors for MHC class I that contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) sequences in their cytoplasmic domain. Whereas these receptors inhibit NK cell cytotoxicity, certain isoforms of these NK receptors (e.g., KIR2DS, CD94/NKG2C, and Ly49D) do not have ITIMs, but associate with DAP12 and activate NK cell function. We cloned pig DAP12 cDNA from a pig peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) cDNA library using human DAP12 cDNA as a probe. The length of the pig DAP12 cDNA is 526 bp and contains an open reading frame of 324 bp. It has 79% identity with the human DAP12 cDNA sequence in the coding region and 73% identity with mouse DAP12 cDNA. The predicted polypeptide sequence of pig DAP12 is 108 amino acids, being composed of a 23-amino acid leader, a 14-amino acid extracellular domain, a 24-amino acid transmembrane segment, and a 47-amino acid cytoplasmic region. The amino acid sequence of pig DAP12 has 74% and 71% sequence identity with human DAP12 and mouse DAP12, respectively. Pig DAP12 has a conserved aspartic acid in the transmembrane region, and two conserved cysteine residues in the extracellular domain. It also contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif sequence in the cytoplasmic region. Genomic organization reveals that pig DAP12 consists of five exons and four introns. Southern blot analysis of pig genomic DNA revealed that DAP12 is a single-copy gene. In Northern blot analysis, DAP12 transcripts were detected in spleen, liver, thymus, and lymph node. DAP12 transcripts are expressed not only in PBLs, but also in granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The fracture toughness test was recently introduced as a clinically relevant method for assessing the fracture resistance of the dentine-composite interface. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentine depth on the interfacial fracture toughness test of several dentine-composite interfaces using some new proprietary dentine bonding agents. METHODS Miniature short rod fracture toughness specimens containing a chevron-shaped dentine-composite-bonded interface were prepared for each group (n = 12). Six different dentine bonding agents and two dentine depths were the variables assessed at the dentine-composite interfaces. After 24 h at 37 degrees C in water, the specimens were tested by loading at 0.5 mm/min in the Instron Universal Testing Machine. The interfacial KIC results were analysed by ANOVA, unpaired Student's t-tests and Fisher's LSD test (P < 0.05). RESULTS The interfacial KIC results in MN.m-3/2 (S.D.) on superficial and deep dentine, respectively, were: All-Bond 2, 0.80 (0.21), 0.44 (0.13); Bond-lt, 0.75 (0.20), 0.38 (0.19); Prime and Bond, 0.56 (0.11), 0.28 (0.10); Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, 0.45 (0.23), 0.26 (0.15); One-Step and OptiBond, insufficient results due to premature specimen failures. CONCLUSIONS The results from this study should contribute to the development of the fracture toughness test as a method for assessing the integrity of the dentine-composite interface. The interfacial fracture toughness test determined significant differences among the different dentine bonding agents and between the superficial and deep dentine substrates. The dentine bonding agents showed significantly reduced interfacial fracture toughness results when bonding to deep versus superficial dentine.

Abstract
The ability of a material to inhibit recurrent caries formation is an important clinical therapeutic property. The objectives of this study were to develop an initial anticariogenicity profile (from fluoride release, to fluoride uptake, to resistance to an artificial caries challenge), testing the ability of conventional versus resin-modified glass-ionomer restorations to resist decay, and to study the effect of using intermediary dentin bonding agent components on the development of surface and wall carious lesions adjacent to a resin-modified glass-ionomer restoration. Cumulative fluoride release was measured from the immersion of disk-shaped specimens into deionized distilled water for 24 hours, 1, 2, 4, and 10 weeks. For the fluoride uptake and artificial caries test, standardized restorations were placed along the cementoenamel junction of extracted human molars. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy was used to determine the depth of fluoride uptake into the adjacent axial dentin from the restoration after 1 and 10 weeks. For the artificial caries test, the teeth were immersed into an acidified gelatin gel, pH 4.0, for 10 weeks. The development of recurrent decay was assessed using polarizing light microscopy. Statistical analyses were conducted using ANOVA and Fishers' LSD test (P < or = 0.05). There was generally greater fluoride release and uptake from the conventional glass ionomers, equivalent or less from the resin-modified glass ionomers, and none from the resin composite restorations. The use of an acid conditioner and primer from a dentin bonding system significantly increased the depth of fluoride uptake at 1 week. The additional use of an intermediary adhesive resin layer, however, significantly decreased the depth of fluoride uptake. The maximum depth of fluoride uptake into dentin was 300 microns at 10 weeks. Both conventional and resin-modified glass-ionomer restorations imparted resistance to dentin against the development of recurrent wall carious lesions in vitro. This was attributed to material fluoride release and uptake.

Abstract
We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of 99mtechnetium-dimercapto-succinic acid renal scans in the detection and localization of experimental acute pyelonephritis in piglets. To create pyelonephritis vesicoureteral reflux of infected urine was surgically induced in 22 piglets. Nine animals were evaluated with a dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan at 1 week and 13 at 2 weeks. Autopsy and histopathological examination of the kidneys were performed subsequently. The location and extent of the inflammatory response found on histopathological examination were compared to dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan findings in a blinded fashion. Of the 22 kidneys subjected to vesicoureteral reflux 15 had positive histopathological findings of acute pyelonephritis, including 13 detected by the dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan findings. The 2 kidneys in which inflammation was not detected had only minimal grade I lesions and were grossly normal. There were no false positive scans in any of these kidneys. The sensitivity of the scan for detection of acute pyelonephritis in the kidneys subjected to reflux was 87 per cent and the specificity was 100 per cent. Furthermore, in these same kidneys the dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan findings correctly predicted the presence or absence of individual pyelonephritic lesions in 62 of 66 poles for an over-all agreement rate of 94 per cent. Thus, dimercapto-succinic acid renal cortical imaging is a highly sensitive and reliable imaging modality to detect and localize experimental acute pyelonephritis in piglets.
