Bugs, bugs, and bugs!! Insect and arthropod bites and infestations have long been a plague of
humankind. Many of the old scourges are still with us and some are making new headway against
treatment of prevention methods. We will examine common bites and infestations, and consider their
edification and treatments.

Cardiac CT Angiography
Sunday, 12 June 2011 Start 9:50am Duration: 25mins Baytrust Forum
This presentation will explore the exciting new technology and images available from CT cardiac
angiography.
Accurate, non-invasive cardiac imaging with modern CT scanners has created huge clinician and public
interest in the potential of this technology. The CT cardiac angiogram test is explained, and the areas of
current and future use will be explored. Good science supports the ability to accurately ‘rule out’ severe
coronary artery disease, which is where the test is being increasingly used. These scanners will soon be
widely available across New Zealand in the public service, and will positively enhance cardiac care with
the extraordinary images which can be created. Some examples of these will be shown.
