Assessing the Utility and Safety of Intravenous Iodinated Contrast Media in CT ‘Pan Scan’ Studies in Geriatric Patients Following Low‐Energy Blunt Trauma

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ground level falls are common in the geriatric population, often culminating in Emergency Department attendance and a CT ‘pan scan’. These scans are routinely performed with intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM). The types of injuries identified in this cohort can often be adequately characterised without ICM.

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of caudoproximal humeral stress fracture in thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Humeral stress fractures in racehorses can progress to catastrophic fracture if unrecognised. Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Clinical predictors of abnormal chest CT scan findings following blunt chest trauma: A cross-sectional study

Chinese Journal of Traumatology, 2020
Purpose: Some surgeons believe that chest computed tomography (CT) scan should be used more prudently in management of blunt chest trauma patients. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical predictors of abnormal chest CT scan findings in trauma patients.
