To evaluate the diagnostic performance and effect on therapeutic management of 64-section computed tomographic (CT) angiography in assessment steno-occlusive disease patients with peripheral arterial (PAD), conventional digital subtraction (DSA) as reference standard.The study protocol was approved by institutional review board, written informed consent obtained from all patients. A total 212 symptomatic PAD underwent CT subsequent DSA. For stenosis analysis (≥ 70% stenosis), bed divided...
Introduction COVID-19 is a respiratory illness due to novel severe acute syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), described in December 2019 Wuhan (China) and rapidly evolved into pandemic. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract can also be involved. Case presentation A 44-year-old man was hospitalised for COVID-19-associated pneumonia. rapid recovery of general symptoms observed after 1 week treatment with lopinavir/ritonavir plus hydroxychloroquine broad-spectrum antibiotics (piperacillin–tazobactam...
Abstract Vertebral augmentation has emerged as a crucial intervention for cancer patients suffering from vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) due to metastatic spinal tumors. These significantly compromise patients' quality of life and exacerbate pain, leading increased morbidity decreased functional status. This comprehensive review explores the efficacy, safety, outcomes techniques, including vertebroplasty kyphoplasty, in patients. It examines underlying pathophysiology VCFs cancer,...
Objective: Central blood pressure and aortic stiffness have been consistently reported as strong cardiovascular risk factors. Twin studies by comparing identical with nonidentical twins produce information on the relative contribution of genes environment. Methods: One hundred fifty-four monozygotic (MZ) 42 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs (age 43 ± 17 years) from Hungary United States underwent brachial central augmentation index (AIx), pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements invasively...
Few family studies reported moderate genetic impact on the presence and scores of carotid plaques. However, heritability plaque characteristics remains still unclear. Twin more reliably estimate relative contribution genes to these traits in contrast study design.One hundred ninety-two monozygotic 83 dizygotic adult twin pairs (age 49±15 years) from Italy, Hungary, United States underwent B-mode color Doppler ultrasound bilateral common, internal, external arteries.Age-, sex-,...
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men. There are a number treatment options for PC with different therapeutic approach between USA and Europe. Radical prostatectomy used therapies but focal gland therapy an emerging approach, especially localized tumors. In this scenario, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been incorporated certain medical association guidelines. HIFU employed about 10 years PC. Results promising 5-year biochemical survival...
Vertebral augmentation has been used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures and metastatic lesions in millions of patients around the world. An international group subject matter experts have considered evidence, including but not limited mortality. These considerations led them ask whether it is appropriate allow subjective measure pain so dominate clinical decision proceed with augmentation. The discussions that ensued are related below.
To assess the feasibility of combined first-pass (FP) and steady-state (SS) contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) peripheral arteries with gadobenate dimeglumine (MultiHance) to evaluate diagnostic performance relative digital subtraction (DSA).A total 35 patients symptomatic arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) underwent FP MRA (repetition time [TR]/echo [TE]/flip angle [FA]/acquisition [TA] = 3.5/1.2/30°/14s) at 1.5T after intravenous injection 10 mL dimeglumine. Thereafter,...
Introduction Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process in which the artery wall thickens as a result of plaque deposition, but this may be preceded by increased arterial stiffness. We sought to evaluate influence genetics and shared unshared environmental components on onset atherosclerosis. Methods A total 135 monozygotic (MZ) 70 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs (mean age 49 ± 16 years) underwent carotid intima media thickness (IMT; analyzer) stiffness (augmentation index brachial [ Aix bra ],...
