Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a rare neurologic condition characterized by elevated pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis and neuroimaging. A subset of pediatric idiopathic patients are coincidentally found to have papilledema without symptoms (eg, headache, visual blurring, tinnitus). This study aims investigate the features asymptomatic hypertension. Methods: Retrospective case-control aged 0 18 years who received diagnosis from 2005 2016. Subjects were...
Purpose: The goal of our study was to determine if patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are more susceptible hospitalization for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database queried (2004–2011) identify cohorts PD (N = 1 047 656) and without 115 95 173). age range the population 60–89 years. incidence TBI among compared in PD. A multivariate logistic regression model, adjusted all covariates that significantly differed bivariate analyses, used an...
Abstract Background Gene expression profiling (GEP) and donor‐derived cell‐free DNA (dd‐cfDNA) are useful in acute rejection (AR) surveillance orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) patients. We report a single‐center experience of combined GEP dd‐cfDNA testing for AR surveillance. Methods tested together starting at 2 months post‐OHT. After 6 months, was obtained before scheduled endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), EMB canceled with negative dd‐cfDNA. This approach compared to using GEP‐only approach,...
Background: Food environment factors contribute to cardiovascular disease, but their effect on population-level heart failure (HF) mortality is unclear. Methods: We utilized the National Vital Statistics System and USDA Environment Atlas collect HF rates (MR) 2 county food indices: (1) insecurity percentage (FI%) (2) index (FEI), a scaled (0–10, 10 best) incorporating FI% access healthy food. used linear regression estimate association between MR Results: Mean FEI were 13% 7.8 in 2956...
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is common and detrimental in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Off-label use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a potential treatment option. Further data are required regarding the feasibility outcomes TAVR to treat AR LVAD recipients.
ABSTRACT Abdominal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease manifestation with variety of anatomic locations and clinical presentations. The gastrointestinal tract may be affected, originating in the wall intestine has rarely been described. We present case primary small bowel causing intussusception 30-year-old woman who presented emesis bleeding. This emphasizes presentation, diagnosis, management adults abdominal lymphangiectasia. highlight importance high suspicion for an adult acute abdomen...
