Evaluation of the Role of D Dimer in the Diagnosis of Different Types of Pleural Effusion [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal
Background: D-dimer level marker of solid phase fibrin dissolution is found to be high in patients with exudative pleural effusion. This study aimed to compare between D dimer concentration pleural effusions in order to investigate the predictor value of

Chemotherapy After Resection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Impact of Different Regimens in a Real‐World Population

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The PRODIGE 24/CCTG PA.6‐ trial has shown an overall survival (OS) up to 55 months in patients treated with (modified) 5‐fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan and oxaliplatin ((m)FOLFIRINOX) chemotherapy after resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The applicability of these results to a real‐world patient population

Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

Image Quality of Handheld Ultrasound Devices for Lung Ultrasound in Adult Patients with Pneumonia

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Handheld ultrasound devices (HHUDs) have increased accessibility and convenience of ultrasonography, but also raised concern regarding image quality and sufficiency for clinical use. This explorative study aims to compare image quality between 3 commercially available HHUDs in patients with pneumonia, and to compare expert agreement on image

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.

Toxoplasma gondii Infection After Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report and Literature Review

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Toxoplasma gondii infection after kidney transplantation is rare and presents with nonspecific clinical manifestations; however, the associated mortality rate is high. We discuss the relevant literature, clinical manifestations, therapeutic regimens, and prognoses of post‐transplantation toxoplasmosis.

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out
