The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Large Hydatid Cyst in the Cardiac Interventricular Septum: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas in Tibet. The heart is an uncommon location of echinococcosis, and involvement of the interventricular septum is even rarer. This disease can remain asymptomatic for a long time, but may result in cardiac tamponade and sudden death.

Asymptomatic Giant Right Ventricular Myxoma in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report With Favorable Surgical Outcome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We report a 13‐year‐old female with a giant right ventricular myxoma extending to the pulmonary trunk. The tumor was diagnosed by multimodal imaging and completely resected, with favorable short‐term outcomes. ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) myxomas account for < 5% of cardiac myxomas and are often asymptomatic, easily overlooked.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

From Basic Aspects to Clinical Values of Myocardial Blood Flow and Myocardial Flow Reserve Measurements

, 2018
Determining indication for coronary intervention has shifted from being anatomically based to being functionally based in clinical settings. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement through invasive coronary angiography is considered to be a gold ...

Quality of hospital medicine care in Veterans Affairs hospitals versus non‐Veterans Affairs hospitals: A systematic review of comparative studies

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Veterans Health Administration (VA) cares for more than one million hospitalized Veterans each year. There is limited knowledge on how hospital medicine care in VA facilities compares with non‐VA hospitals in terms of the Institute of Medicine domains of healthcare access, patient experience, quality, clinical outcomes, and cost.

Free‐Breathing 3D Whole Heart and Aorta Cine MRI Without Contrast Agent—Comparison to Clinical Standard

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The demand for cardiac MRI is increasing with the growing burden of cardiovascular disease. However, conventional protocols require sequential acquisitions for multi‐breath‐hold 2D cine and 3D MR angiography (MRA), which is time‐consuming.

The role of the community pharmacist in medicine information transfer during transitions of care and the impact on associated outcomes: a scoping review

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transitions of care (TOC) between hospital and community settings are high‐risk periods for medication‐related problems (MRPs), often caused by inadequate information transfer between healthcare settings. Community pharmacists are well positioned to support continuity of care; however, they are frequently excluded from the ...
