Pelvic venous disorders in women: Diagnosis and management for gynecologists
Abstract Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) are an underrecognized yet significant cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in reproductive‐aged women, characterized by venous reflux, obstruction, or both. This clinical opinion provides a practical overview of PeVD for gynecologists, outlining its pathophysiology, common presentations, diagnostic approach, and ...

Increasing Venous Return Blood Flow to the Right Atrium Using the Party Balloon Inflation Maneuver
The party balloon inflation maneuver increases intrathoracic pressure, decreases venous return, and after release enhances venous return to the right atrium more effectively than does the conventional Valsalva maneuver.

Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

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

Zeroing Pressures in Urodynamics: Revisiting Current Practice and Pressure Interpretation
ABSTRACT Introduction Zeroing of pressure transducers is a fundamental step in urodynamic testing, as it affects pressure tracings and numerical values. Atmospheric zeroing before catheter insertion is the recommended approach, but zeroing with catheters in situ is also used.
