Shoulder MRI occasionally shows a low signal prominence at the anteroinferior glenohumeral joint (GHJ) recess resembling thickened capsular tissue which has an uncertain clinical significance.

Objectives are to examine the frequency of this finding on MR and if it is visualized on arthroscopy, and to correlate with other common shoulderpathologies seen on MR.

Cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for patients with acute cholecystitis. Patients who are high risk for complications from cholecystectomy can be offered percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) tube placement. PC can be done to bridge high-risk patients for subsequent, elective cholecystectomy. 129 patients were identified to have undergone PC at UC Davis. 122 patients had their initial tube placed by UC Davis. Manual chart review to evaluatecharacteristics of patient population who’vereceived a PC tube, including demographics,radiation exposure, complications, andtreatment course.

The study aim was to characterize patientswho received PC at a tertiary academichospital to evaluate the potential populationbenefitting from gallbladder thermoablation.

To evaluate the impact of a formal anesthetic protocol on the peri and post procedural outcomes of ALS patients undergoing PRG.
