Diaphragm Ultrasonography Reveals Progressive Changes in Diaphragmatic Function, Morphology, and Muscle Trophism During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Children

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Diaphragm ultrasonography detected progressive structural and functional deterioration in mechanically ventilated children. Prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and neuromuscular blocking agent use were associated with ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, highlighting ultrasound as a valuable bedside tool to support individualized ...

Association Between MRI‐Derived Right‐to‐Left Ventricular Volume Ratio and Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Dysfunction in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Right ventricular (RV) to left ventricular (LV) end‐diastolic volume ratio (RV/LV) is a validated marker of RV dilation in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet its impact on LV myocardial function and the underlying mediating pathway is incompletely characterized.

Preoperative supine time for adrenal venous sampling: a prospective randomized controlled trial

Trials
Background Primary aldosteronism (P.A.) is the most common form of secondary hypertension, accounting for 5% of hypertensive patients and 17–23% of patients with resistant hypertension. Compared to primary hypertension, P.A. is more prone to cause severe

Mid‐upper arm circumference, steatosis indices, and elastography for screening liver steatosis in children with overweight/obesity: A prospective cross‐sectional study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is common in children, and practical screening approaches are needed in populations with overweight/obesity. We aimed to evaluate mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) as a simple marker for ultrasonography (US)‐detected liver steatosis (LS) in children with overweight ...
