Diagnosis of Patent Foramen Ovale
JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010 We read with great interest the improved echocardiographic diagnostic protocol for patent foramen ovale (PFO) by Rana et al. ([1][1]). We wish to highlight some relevant issues. Demonstrating the presence of PFO does not establish its etiopathogenic role in systemic embolization.

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objective Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is often refractory to treatment. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation can help in preventing PHN after herpes zoster. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two different PRF modes on gasserian ganglion neuromodulation in elderly patients with acute/subacute trigeminal ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Hypoxemia
Cardiology in Review, 2019 Patent foramen ovale (PFO), an embryonic remnant of the fetal circulation, is present in 20–25% of adults. Although recent observational studies and clinical trials have established the link between PFO-mediated right-to-left shunting with cryptogenic stroke and migraine with aura, the role of a PFO in exacerbating hypoxemic medical conditions (ie ...
