Comparison of 3‐Dimensional Ultrasound and Computed Tomography for Imaging of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Three‐dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is emerging as a novel imaging method for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) as it creates a low‐cost 3D AAA overview without harmful radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents, as opposed to conventional imaging. 3D US can be used with a non‐nephrotoxic contrast agent (3D‐CEUS) for lumen delineation.

Preoperative Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Survival in Patients Undergoing Valve Replacement for Mitral Stenosis [PDF]

Introduction: High pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is a critical survival parameter in patients with severe mitral stenosis. We investigated changes in PAP and their impact on survival in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement for severe mitral ...

NETosis in the Kidney, Liver, and Lung of Mice With Cecal Ligation and Puncture‐Induced Sepsis and the Ameliorating Effects of Adipose‐Derived Stem Cell Exosomes

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced organ failure involves dysregulated neutrophil responses, including neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, via NETosis. Exosomes generated from adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown potential in sepsis treatment. This study characterized organ‐specific NETosis in the kidney, liver, and lungs using a murine cecal ...

Outcome of pregnancy in women after pulmonary autograft valve replacement for congenital aortic valve disease

, 2007
Background and aim of the study: The pulmonary autograft has been recommended as the valve of choice for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in young women contemplating pregnancy. However, current information on maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancy in

Intravascular Placement of A Nasogastric Tube: Clinical Presentation and Surgical Management

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report a rare case of inadvertent intravascular placement of a nasogastric tube following pharyngeal perforation, with extension through the internal jugular vein into the central venous system. Prompt radiological diagnosis and controlled surgical removal allowed successful management, highlighting the importance of early recognition and a ...

An alternative surgical approach for isolated pulmonary valve infective endocarditis secondary to restrictive ventricular septal defect: a case report

The Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Background Native pulmonary valve (PV) infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare condition with an incidence of 1.5–2%. Although medical therapy is the mainstay of treatment, surgical intervention is still indicated in cases that fail to respond to ...

Reference Equations for Peak Nasal Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow: A Cross‐Sectional Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study developed reference equations for peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and peak nasal expiratory flow (PNEF) in clinically healthy adults using sex, height, and weight. PNIF demonstrated lower residual variability and more stable model performance than PNEF, supporting its potential as a complementary tool for individualized interpretation of ...
