Abstract Uncertainty regarding the benefits of vertebroplasty (VP) for treatment acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures has recently arisen. A prospective, controlled, randomized single-center trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number NCT00994032) was designed to compare effects VP versus conservative on quality life and pain in patients with painful fractures, new secondary adverse were also analyzed during a 12-month follow-up period. total 125 randomly assigned receive or VP. The...
Intraneural injection during nerve-stimulator-guided sciatic block at the popliteal fossa may be a common occurrence. Although intraneural injections have not resulted in clinically detectable neurologic injury small studies human subjects, result postinjection inflammation animal models. This study used clinical, imaging, and electrophysiologic measures to evaluate occurrence of any subclinical patients with block.Twenty undergoing were enrolled; 17 completed protocol. After tibial nerve...
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to identify and characterize subclinical synovitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical remission using power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) serum levels biomarkers inflammation and/or angiogenesis. Methods We selected RA defined as a Disease activity score 28 joints (DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) <2.6 for more than six months tested by two independent rheumatologists. Clinical, epidemiological, demographic...
Introduction. Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are a common source of shoulder pain, with an incidence ranging between 5% and 40%. The influence corticosteroid injections on the RCT remains unknown. aim this study was to estimate full-thickness 12 weeks after subacromial injection in patients pain. Patients method. We made prospective, open-label unilateral painful without previous local injection. Ultrasound assessments were at first (baseline) last (Week 12) visits by experienced radiologist. A...
DESPITE the technological advances in nerve approach and neurostimulation techniques, percentage of block procedure associated neuropathies has not decreased significantly. It is still between 1.7% 1.9%.1,2Use stimulation techniques do guarantee avoidance puncture.3,4Bearing these questions mind, we devised a research protocol, which was approved by Ethical Committee our Hospital, included computerized tomographic (CT) scan examination with aim having better chances avoiding vulnerable...
Background: The prevalence of vertebral fractures (VF) and their association with clinical risk factors outcomes are poorly documented in chronic kidney disease (CKD) cohorts. aim the study was to evaluate VF patients non-dialysis dependent CKD (NDD-CKD), value predicting mortality its correlation parameters bone mineral metabolism vascular calcification. Materials Methods: 612 NDD 3‒5 stage participating OSERCE-2 study, a prospective, multicenter, cohort were prospectively evaluated...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences in whole‐body MRI are usually used for detecting muscle edema (ME) inflammatory myopathies. We evaluated b‐value 800 diffusion‐weighted imaging (b800 DWI). Methods: Two radiologists independently and a consensus reader retrospectively reexamined 60 patients with myopathies 15 controls. For each participant, 78 muscles were analyzed 3 sets of acquisitions: T1‐weighted (T1) turbo spin echo STIR; T1 DWI; T1, STIR DWI. Mean per...
Introduction High-resolution ultrasound (HRU) allows one to identify small nerves, but in the clinical setting, intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) and medial brachial cutaneous (MBCN) are not identified with conventional portable (CPU) devices. The aim of this study is both nerves describe their relation specific anatomical structures which could be easily devices available setting. Methods 21 healthy patients were scanned using HRU bilaterally axillary area located over conjoint tendon find...
Abstract Background Novel concepts for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) like pulsed field ablation (PFA) or high power-short duration (HPSD) promise favourable profiles of safety and efficacy. However, clinical comparisons lesion quality are lacking. Purpose To systematically investigate characteristics novel concepts, we performed a prospective head-to-head comparison between PFA, HPSD, conventional RF latest generation cryoballoon using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)-MRI-based assessment....
