Abstract Background Beam hardening (BH) artifacts negatively influence computed tomography (CT) measurements, especially when due to dense materials or with high effective atomic numbers. Photon-counting detectors (PCD) are more susceptible BH equal weighting of photons regardless their energies. The problem is further confounded by the use contrast agents (CAs) K -edge in diagnostic CT energy range. We quantified effect different comparing energy-integrating detector (EID)-CT and PCD-CT....
Background Photon-counting CT (PCCT) represents a recent advancement in CT, offering improved spatial resolution and spectral separability. By using multiple adjustable energy bins, PCCT enables K-edge imaging, allowing mixed contrast agent distinction. Deep-silicon is new type of photon-counting detector with different characteristics compared cadmium detectors. Purpose To evaluate the performance prototype deep-Si scanner compare it that state-of-the-art dual-energy energy-integrating...

Abstract Purpose 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is inefficiently converted to the active anti-cancer metabolite, fluorodeoxyuridine-monophosphate (FUDR-MP), associated with dose-limiting toxicities and challenging administration schedules. NUC-3373 a phosphoramidate nucleotide analog of fluorodeoxyuridine (FUDR) designed overcome these limitations replace fluoropyrimidines such as 5-FU. Patients methods was administered monotherapy patients advanced solid tumors refractory standard therapy via...
Background Montelukast is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma. It has been as adjuvant therapy patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but its effectiveness not evaluated. This study evaluates efficacy leukotriene receptor antagonism CRS subtypes. Methods Retrospective review collected data at a tertiary-referral institution. We identified all who were prescribed montelukast postoperatively had lapse for least 1 month (n = 50), so that themselves serve their own control...
Abstract Background Underutilization of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients remains an issue across several geographies. A better understanding risk factors for SCD post-MI from regions with low ICD adoption rates will help identify those who benefit ICD. This analysis assessed all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality the Improve Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Bridge Trial. Results For entire...
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a local inflammatory process driven by eosinophils. Mucosal eosinophil count (MEC) has previously been demonstrated to be reliable indicator of disease severity. We aim evaluate use MEC in guiding medical management CRS after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Methods retrospectively reviewed patients with who underwent FESS from 2004 2017. Tissue per high‐power field (HPF) was determined pathologic examination. MECs were compared polyp...
The presence of eosinophilia and nasal polyps are well-established prognostic indicators chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). importance demographic background, such as age, independent variables has not been elucidated while taking these factors into account.Respective review.CRS patients who underwent primary surgical treatment were subdivided based on age (young adults = 18-39, 40-64, elderly 65+). Groups then tissue polyposis. Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), Lund-Kennedy (LK) endoscopy...

Two patients are presented, in whom right common carotid artery-internal jugular vein fistula had been patent for 12 years. These cases provide the longest reported follow-up of with surgically created carotid-jugular fistulas. Marked cardiac hypertrophy, a systolic murmur one patient, and arterial hypertension other, proved reversible following repair Alterations circulatory dynamics before after correlated established phenomena associated arteriovenous fistulas various size, duration,...
Objectives/Hypothesis A number of autoimmune disorders (ADs) are associated with a spectrum sinonasal manifestations comparable to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Our objective was study the subjective and measurements ADs. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods All patients ADs referred our tertiary care rhinology clinic from 2008 2019 symptoms were compared randomly selected cohorts noneosinophilic CRS without nasal polyps (neCRSsNP) eosinophilic CRSsNP (eCRSsNP). Demographic data,...
