Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate whether the thin-section computed tomographic (CT) appearance has prognostic value for prediction of mortality, number ventilator-free days (ie, without mechanical ventilation), and 28-day risk barotrauma in patients with a clinically early stage acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from diverse causes. Materials Methods: Institutional review board approval informed consent were obtained. Two independent observers who blinded to patient outcomes...
Sonographic and histologic correlation was studied in 20 cases with a combined total of 23 resected lesions hepatocellular carcinoma. All were examined by sonography within 1 week before surgery. Tumor sonograms classified as hypoechoic, complex, or hyperechoic on the basis difference echogenicity between lesion surrounding liver parenchyma. Fourteen excised pathologic specimens after surgery fixed-position sectional sonographic technique that permitted detailed comparison findings. Each...
The metabolic syndrome represents an aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, raised blood pressure, impaired glucose tolerance, and dyslipidemia that are associated with increased incidence arteriosclerosis. Evidence accumulated indicates the visceral fat accumulation is essential in development syndrome. To investigate prevalence Japan, we analyzed cross-sectional data from 3574 middle aged Japanese (2947 men 627 women, 40-59 years) a large company, whose was assessed...
To reveal the impact of preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).We retrospectively reviewed 242 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC at our institution between January 1996 and July 2012. Among them, there were three with R2 resection 30 a follow-up period less than 1 year, excluded because they did not meet conditions evaluating recurrence. Consequently, 209 enrolled in present study. The divided into two groups:...
Metastasis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) into the central nervous system is extremely rare. We report a patient with synchronous GIST and brain metastasis. At disease onset, there was left hemiplegia ptosis right eyelids. Resection cytology reported as metastasis GIST. After positron emission tomography examination, another in small bowel discovered, which suggested associated intracranial Immunohistochemical analysis intestinal specimen obtained by double balloon endoscopy showed...
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have advanced glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is useful to diagnose liver However, there are few data available regarding evaluation of function on the use SWE. Purpose To assess utility SWE by evaluating correlation between elasticity using Material Methods A total 187 participants who had serum creatinine levels also underwent a transabdominal ultrasonography were recruited at Nagoya...
OBJECTIVES: Ascites markedly affects the quality of life patients with cirrhosis; however, there is currently no scale to measure symptoms ascites. We developed a ascites-specific according psychometric procedures. METHODS: A team consisting specialists constructs representing ascites and question item pool. The were verified in qualitative study involving small number patients. pool was improved through pilot study, prototype prepared. To establish assess its properties, questionnaire...
We report a rare case of primary hepatic gastrinoma. A 77-year-old woman exhibited continuous watery diarrhea for 8 months and weight loss. Bacterial cultures the stools were negative colonoscopy revealed no abnormalities. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed severe reflux esophagitis multiple duodenal erosions. Computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging detected two solid masses measuring <2 cm in diameter right lobe non-cirrhotic liver. Microscopically, tumor was consistent with...
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is frequently used for initial and/or preoperative diagnosis of tumors in the head and neck region. However, false-negative results can lead to misdiagnosis. The aim this study was investigate diagnostic FNA region reasons cases.The population comprised 1,341 patients with pathologically confirmed whom performed before surgery or biopsy Otolaryngology Department at Numazu City Hospital between 2002 2016. We evaluated rate as well site primary nodule,...
To compare contrast-enhanced transabdominal ultrasonography (CE-US) following harmonic endoscopic (CH-EUS) with enhanced magnetic resonance imaging using gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (EOB-MRI) in the diagnosis of liver metastases patients pancreatic cancer.Patients who underwent computed tomography for possible cancer and required further evaluation CH-EUS were enrolled this study, diagnostic performance CE-US metastasis was compared that EOB-MRI.A total 228...
