THE ROLE OF CHEST RADIOGRAPHY TO DIAGNOSE LARGE PERICARDIAL EFFUSION IN WOMAN 66 YEARS OLD WITH MALIGNANCY : HIDING PERICARDIAL EFFUSION [PDF]
Introduction: Pericardial effusion refers to an increase in fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity. This pericardial fluid acts as a lubricant between the layers of the pericardium.

Pericardial computed tomography imaging findings in the setting of coccidioidomycosis
Background Pericardial disease can be a manifestation of infection and imaging can have a role in its diagnosis. coccidioidomycosis endemic fungal infection has been more frequently reported over the past few decades.

Motion-resolved fat-fraction mapping with whole-heart free-running multiecho gre and pilot tone [PDF]
PURPOSE To develop free-running multi-echo GRE for cardiac- and respiratory-motion-resolved whole-heart fat fraction quantification. METHODS Multi-echo readouts optimized for water-fat separation and quantification were integrated within a non-ECG-triggered free-breathing 3D radial GRE acquisition.

The importance of the pericardium for cardiac biomechanics: From physiology to computational modeling [PDF]
The human heart is enclosed in the pericardial cavity. The pericardium consists of a layered thin sac and is separated from the myocardium by a thin film of fluid. It provides a fixture in space and frictionless sliding of the myocardium. The influence of the pericardium is essential for predictive mechanical simulations of the heart. However, there is

Pericardial effusion in oncological patients: current knowledge and principles of management
Background This article provides an up-to-date overview of pericardial effusion in oncological practice and a guidance on its management. Furthermore, it addresses the question of when malignancy should be suspected in case of newly diagnosed pericardial

Echocardiography combined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing for the prediction of outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of exercise intolerance and outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The aim of the study was to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of echocardiography of the

Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

Computed tomography values of pericardial effusion may predict chylopericardium: a case report
Background Idiopathic chylopericardium is a rare disease characterized by filling of the pericardial cavity with chylous fluid and has no evident cause. Secondary chylopericardium usually results from injury or damage to the thoracic duct.
