Abstract Background The factors influencing the onset of new atrial fibrillation following Morrow procedure due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are unclear. This study investigated CPB-related associated with postoperative (POAF) in patients undergoing minimally invasive ventricular septal myectomy (Morrow procedure) optimize CPB strategies, reduce incidence POAF, and enhance recovery. Methods A retrospective clinical data analysis was conducted on 139 who underwent procedures from January...

Renal function is a crucial factor affecting the prognosis of patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). The differential impacts transplantation and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation on renal are unclear. Therefore, we compared perioperative changes in who underwent that LVAD implantation. This study included 77 59 at five hospitals between January 2019 December 2023. These were divided into two groups based surgery type: or estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs)...

Abstract Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma is rare. The common locations of extraskeletal include the paravertebral region, lower extremities, and chest wall. Primary pulmonary extremely Because sensitive to specialized chemotherapy regimens, accurate diagnosis therefore critical. can be challenging need immunohistochemical cytogenetic analyses. Imaging findings have been rarely reported. This report describes a case primary with immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, CT, FDG PET/CT findings.

Although some histological features of solitary fibrous tumor are related to its aggressive behavior, tumors with benign may also follow an behavior. An 18-year-old male patient was referred after the detection multiple bilateral pulmonary lesions on a chest x-ray in health examination 2 months ago. These showed inhomogeneous enhancement enhanced CT and intense FDG uptake (SUVmax, 21.8) PET/CT. CT-guided biopsy revealed histologically tumor.

Abstract Background Pregnancy with infective endocarditis (IE) is rare, but the fetal and maternal mortality rates of these pregnancies are very high, making IE a serious threat to safety pregnant women their fetuses. Therefore, for recurrent fever, detailed medical history physical examination should be performed, echocardiography blood culture carried out as soon possible, multidisciplinary consultation implemented, diagnosis treatment plan formulated right away, this key saving lives...

Abstract Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a common worldwide infection with high mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. This study analyzed PET/CT findings tumor patients radiographic lesions suggesting old healed pulmonary (OHPTB) imaging follow-up to find verify signs that may predict recurrence. A retrospective analysis of the was carried out. These underwent 18F-FDG our center from 2010 2018. Confirmation recurrence obtained by morphological changes or CT. In total,...

OBJECTIVE. Pulmonary intravascular metastasis is a special type of pulmonary malignancies; however, few relevant studies have been performed. This study aimed to determine the characteristics and improve understanding disease by retrospective analysis FDG PET/CT thin-layer high-resolution CT (HRCT) imaging chest in patients with tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We identified all who underwent at two hospitals between January 2016 February 2019 conducted comparative HRCT images. In total, 84...

Cardiac fibroma is rarely encountered in children, and even more rare neonates. We herein report a case of 5-month-old female with severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by large ventricle that was successfully surgically resected. This describes the infant mass measuring 26 × 22 mm cured surgery. Physical examination revealed harsh S1 sound grade IV systolic murmur on left sternal border. Surgical resection indicated due to further follow-up evaluation uneventful. The...

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) without an atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with coarctation of the aortic arch is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. This combination only described in few studies; none report correction these two malformations single surgery. A 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because echocardiography revealed arch; this diagnosis confirmed by computed tomography (CT), which also showed her left superior vein draining into vertical ASD...

With the increasing application of radiotherapy for cervical cancer, incidence sacral insufficiency fracture (SIF) is gradually. Incorrect or untimely treatment caused by misdiagnosis may lead to serious adverse clinical consequences. This study retrospectively analyzed SIF regarding appearance and dynamic changes in 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positive emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) images improve understanding SIF.We examined cancer patients who underwent...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and hence, a comprehensive understanding based on gene expression profile imperative. Although several studies have identified some critical mutant genes DLBCL, disease in central nervous system has not been investigated clearly. This study aimed to identify novel important DLBCL system.A total 156 cases tumors were collected from 2016 2018, which confirmed by H&E staining immunohistochemistry. With...
