Premenopausal women with breast cancer, and specifically women in the inadequate phase of the cycle, presented with higher quantitative BE than postmenopausal women. No association was found between BE and breast density.

ObjectivesThe aim of this article is to review and illustrate the typical imaging findings for a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and its complications, examining the uses and limitations of multimodality imaging.BackgroundCAPD is a commonly and increasingly used method of renal replacement therapy in end-stage renal failure (ESRF). From the set-up and insertion of the peritoneal catheter through to the actual treatment, there are pitfalls and complications that may adversely affect the patient and compromise the success of the dialysis. Complications can be either immediate or delayed, and can also be categorised into infectious and non-infectious aetiologies, including catheter failure, dialysate leaks, hernias and encapsulating sclerosing peritonitis.ConclusionEarly recognition of complications, both clinically and on the different imaging modalities, is essential in the management of CAPD in order to reduce treatment failure and limit patient morbidity and mortality.Main messagesComplications of peritoneal dialysis cause patient morbidity and treatment failure.Early recognition of complications from normal appearances is essential to limit dialysis failure.Multimodality imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of these complications.

Lobar torsion is a rare complication following lung transplantation. Early detection and immediate therapeutic intervention can lead to a favorable outcome. We report an unusual case of left lingular torsion following single lung transplantation performed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The patient experienced severe ventilatory compromise immediately after leaving the operating room, and a chest X-ray revealed a well-demarcated area of consolidation involving the left mid- and lower lung zones. Lingular torsion was promptly diagnosed and corrected surgically. The possibility of acute lobar torsion should be considered in lung transplant recipients who experience acute respiratory compromise in the early postoperative period. Early diagnosis and correction can avoid pulmonary infarction and the need for lobar resection.

Low-dose CT could demonstrate parenchymal lung manifestations in this higher-risk asymptomatic group with prior exposure to asbestos in the setting of screening for lung cancer and mesothelioma. Individuals with longer exposure to asbestos and of higher age have more pulmonary abnormalities. The age and the latency of exposure play an important role given that the asbestos-related parenchymal abnormalities on LDCT were more prevalent in the elderly participants and with longer periods of exposure.
