Stranding of perinephric fat is defined as linear areas of soft tissue attenuation in the perinephric space, which can result from any acute process or injury to the kidney. When unilateral perinephric stranding is identified it is most frequently the result of calyceal rupture or perinephric inflammation. Perinephric stranding is probably the manifestation of increased pressure in the collecting system in the early phase of ureteral obstruction. Perinephric stranding is easily identified on Spiral CT and less commonly seen on IVP.

Is perinephric stranding bad for the kidney?

Perinephric stranding is generally indicative of inflammation or edema around the kidney, often associated with conditions such as pyelonephritis or renal abscess. While it itself does not directly damage the kidney, it can signal underlying issues that may affect kidney function if not addressed. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent potential complications. Therefore, while perinephric stranding is not inherently "bad," it warrants medical evaluation.

What does stranding of the mesorectum mean?

Stranding of the mesorectum refers to the appearance of linear fibrous tissue within the mesorectum, which is the fatty tissue surrounding the rectum. This finding is often associated with inflammatory processes, such as diverticulitis or malignancies, and can be observed on imaging studies like CT scans. Mesorectal stranding may suggest the presence of disease or complications in the area, prompting further evaluation or intervention.

What is the ideal lay length for stranding conductors?

The ideal lay length for stranding conductors is typically calculated to ensure mechanical strength and flexibility of the cable while minimizing electromagnetic interference. This length is often determined based on the specific application and requirements of the cable, such as the operating voltage and current levels. A common lay length range for stranding conductors is between 6 to 30 times the cable diameter.
