PURPOSEWe aimed to evaluate the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis infective endocarditis (IE). METHODSSixteen patients with a preliminary IE (10 women and six men; age range, 4-66 years) were referred MRI.MRI sequences as follows: echo-planar cine true fast steady-state precession (true-FISP), dark-blood spin echo T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted half-Fourier single shot turbo (HASTE), early contrast-enhanced first-pass low-angle (FLASH).Delayed images...

ABSTRACT Objective Cardiac damage is a major complication of anorexia nervosa (AN). The present study evaluated the prevalence myocardial in patients with AN by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Method This was cross‐sectional and observational. Forty consecutive female diagnosis 28 healthy subjects were from January 2007 to 2011 at Department Psychiatry (University Istanbul, Turkey). Following enrolment study, participants underwent evaluation, physical examination, standard...
<b><i>Background: </i></b>The aim of this study is to compare the clinical course idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) treated with low-dose oral corticosteroid therapy alone as opposed treatment followed by surgery. <b><i>Patients and Methods: </i></b>37 patients were an approach that consisted methylprednisolone at a dose 0.5 mg/kg/day wide excision, 23 only methylprednisolone. The efficacy was compared between two groups....
Abstract Introduction Constrictive pericarditis is a chronic inflammatory entity that may progress with thickening and calcification in the pericardial tissue, resulting decreased elasticity subsequent increase ventricular filling pressures1,2. This rare treatable cause of HFpEF, associated various aetiologies, depending on development level countries. Several algorithms have been developed for diagnosis, whereas studies evaluating prognostic factors are limited3–6. Our study aimed to...
Abstract Objectives Myocarditis, a leading cause of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, has increased in prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic1. Although imaging is vital for diagnosing myocarditis, its prognostic value not well understood2,3. The sphericity index, which assesses roundness left ventricle, may help both diagnosis and prognosis various diseases4–6. This study examines significance index myocarditis patients. Methods We analyzed clinical data from 30 patients diagnosed using...
Abstract Objectives ARVC, a rare form of cardiomyopathy associated with dismal prognosis, involves the replacement cardiac myocytes fibrofatty tissue1,2. Multiple criteria are utilized for diagnosis and risk assessment3–5. The right ventricular scalloping index has emerged as newly proposed parameter ARVC diagnosis, yet its prognostic implications remain unexplored in literature6. Our study seeks to investigate impact MRI derived (RVSI-MR) alongside other parameters. Material Methods...
In this study we sought to identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs of selective muscle involvement and disease progression in patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 3b (SMA3b).Twenty-five genetically confirmed SMA3b underwent MRI on a 1.5-Tesla MR scanner.MRI showed significantly more severe the iliopsoas than gluteus maximus muscles, triceps brachii biceps muscles. The quadriceps femoris muscles were severely involved. deltoid, adductor longus, portions hamstrings, gracilis,...
Objective. A prospective sonographic study of the normal thymus was performed to determine size changes with age and compare results according some clinical conditions, such as sex, breast versus formula feeding, term or preterm status. Methods. One hundred fifty‐one healthy infants underwent thymic sonography. Maximal transverse longitudinal dimensions anteroposterior right left lobes were measured, indices calculated. Mean values measurements for each group (sex, age, status) determined....
The aim of this study was to comprehensively evaluate electrocardiographic (ECG) findings isolated left ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) patients at initial diagnosis and explore the correlation between them clinical, echocardiographic, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.Twenty-three diagnosed with IVNC by echocardiography cardiac MRI January 2006 June 2010 were enrolled in study. examined standard ECG 24-hour Holter ECG. For comparison purpose, ECGs 50 healthy children similar ages...
Background The extent of peri‐infarct zone (PIZ) by contrast‐enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (ce‐CMR) has been related to inducibility ventricular arrhythmia in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, this relationship not established postmyocardial infarction (post‐MI) relatively reserved left (LV) systolic function yet. In study, we investigated myocardial scar size and characteristics its preserved LV function. Methods This study enrolled 28 post‐MI a ejection fraction between...
We aimed to evaluate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs).CT MRI CATs in 12 patients were included. retrospectively examined patient demographics, location, size, shape configuration, features, calcification distribution tumors, accompanying medical problems.There was a female predominance (75%), with mean age at presentation 65 years. Patients mostly asymptomatic on (58.3%). The left ventricle the heart involved...
To evaluate the association of body composition parameters with outcomes in Covid-19.173 patients hospitalized for Covid-19 infection 6 European centers were included this retrospective study. Measurements performed at L3-level and comprised skeletal muscle index (SMI), density (MD), adipose tissue measurements [visceral (VAT), subcutaneous (SAT), intramuscular (IMAT), visceral-to-subcutaneous-adipose-tissue-area-ratio (VSR)]. The mortality, need intubation (MV), admission to ICU within 30...
Abstract Autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome is caused by mutations in ROR2 and characterized short stature, mesomelic limb shortening, brachydactyly, vertebral abnormalities, a characteristic “fetal face” dysmorphology. We report the clinical molecular studies on two adults with this condition. Besides typical skeletal facial features, one patient developed hydronephrosis, nephrocalcinosis, renal failure. The second had manifestations including severe spinal involvement showed...
