Did Ramesses II really have ankylosing spondylitis? A reappraisal.
To challenge the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis in the mummy of Ramesses II that was suggested about 30 years ago and to propose a differential diagnosis for the changes that were detected in the mummy's spine and pelvis. ⋯ The radiologic evidence does not support the claim that Ramesses II had ankylosing spondylitis. Our radiologic reappraisal suggests instead the diagnosis of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. This new diagnosis needs to be validated by a computed tomographic scan of the mummy.

To evaluate the use of emergent dynamic intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of active arterial extravasation in patients admitted to hospital after blunt abdominal trauma. ⋯ In patients who have experienced blunt abdominal trauma, attention should be paid to the computed tomographic features of active arterial hemorrhage. In our series, the pelvis was the most common source of active arterial bleeding, which was typically associated with unstable pelvic fractures.
