Doppler images of intra-pulmonary shunt within atelectasis in anesthetized children

Critical Ultrasound Journal, 2016
Background Doppler images of pulmonary vessels in pulmonary diseases associated with subpleural consolidations have been described. Color Doppler easily identifies such vessels within consolidations while spectral Doppler analysis allows the ...

Nursing Process in the care context of Atelectasis by Pulmonary Emphysema: case report/Processo de Enfermagem no contexto assistencial da Atelectasia por Enfisema Pulmonar: relato de caso

Diversitas Journal, 2020
A pulmonary atelectasis consists of pulmonary collapse, accompanied by hypoventilation, which generally affects one of the pulmonary lobes and compromises perfusion, affecting metabolic changes in the client's life.

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Unraveling the Complexities of Kartagener's Syndrome: A Case of Bronchiectasis, Isolated Dextrocardia, and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in an Adult With Chronic Respiratory Symptoms. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Kartagener's Syndrome (KS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder and a subset of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), is characterized by chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and, in approximately 50% of cases, situs inversus. This condition arises from genetic mutations that impair motile cilia function, leading to defective mucociliary clearance ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of thorax in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

Medicine Science, 2018
Pulmonary embolism (PE) has a high mortality rate and a considerable incidence in emergency care. Thorax computed tomography (CT) angiography is the primary diagnosis method for PE, but has many contraindications.

Predictive Value of Modified Lung Ultrasound Score for Late Respiratory Diseases in Premature Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This study is to assess the predictive value of the modified lung ultrasound score (mLUS) for late respiratory diseases in premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. It is recommended that the use of mLUS scoring be promoted in clinical practice for the early screening of high‐risk preterm infants.

Diagnostic Performance of Comprehensive Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Tuberculosis in Spain: A Prospective Observational Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In children with presumptive tuberculosis, comprehensive point‐of‐care (cPOCUS) identified key thoracic abnormalities with high specificity and excellent inter‐reader reliability. Although diagnostic sensitivity was modest and examinations often incomplete, cPOCUS shows promise as a complementary, radiation‐free imaging tool.
