Background There is a paucity of randomized trials demonstrating superior efficacy drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) compared with conventional percutaneous transluminal (PTA) for below-the-knee arterial disease in patients critical limb ischemia. Purpose To compare DCBA versus PTA lesions participants critical ischemia through 12 months. Materials and Methods In this prospective, randomized, two-center, double-blind superiority study, rest pain or tissue loss atherosclerotic the...
BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma of bone is one the rarest benign tumors, which often involves metaphysis long tubular bones, especially femur, tibia, fibula, and calcaneus. Bone can be characterized by chronic dull pain but also asymptomatic most time. As a result, it less likely to attract people’s attention occasionally diagnosed through imaging examination during routine physical health check-up. CASE SUMMARY We describe clinical case intraosseous in 21-year-old patient with left lower...
A new coronavirus was discovered after a cluster of pneumonia cases emerged in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, December 2019 [1,2] and has since spread widely within China to several countries.The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the epidemic Public Emergency International Concern on 30 Jan 2020 advised all countries be prepared.Despite timely robust response compared 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic, continues worsen.The lessons gleaned from our experience...
We aimed to study anxiety and burnout among Division of Radiological Sciences (RADSC) staff during the COVID-19 pandemic identify potential risk protective factors. These outcomes were compared with non-RADSC staff.A cross-sectional online was conducted between 12 March 20 July 2020 in largest public tertiary hospital receiving cases. Burnout assessed Physician Work-Life Scale Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale, respectively. Workplace factors examined as using multivariable ordinary least...
Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold-standard for measurement of portal hypertension, a common cause life-threatening conditions such as variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy. HVPG also plays crucial role in risk stratification, treatment selection assessment response. Thus recognition pitfalls unusual crucial. This article aims to provide radiographical clinical guide with representative cases.
Palliative surgical oncology patients represent a unique group with complex needs who often require multidisciplinary input for the provision of timely and holistic care. The authors assembled multi-disciplinary palliative intervention team evaluated its association quality discussions on goals care (GOC) among advanced cancer undergoing interventions.This prospective cohort study analyzed interventions at single urban academic center from October 2019 to March 2022. In January 2021,...
PurposeTo investigate the use of a sirolimus drug-coated balloon (DCB) in management thrombosed arteriovenous graft (AVG).Materials and MethodsA single-center prospective pilot study was conducted between October 2018 2019. Twenty patients (age = 67.0 years ± 10; male 35%; mean time on dialysis 31 months) with upper limb AVG were enrolled. After successful pharmacomechanical thrombectomy adequate treatment vein junction, DCB angioplasty performed at junction. The followed-up for 6 months,...
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is the current standard treatment for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis. The mid- and long-term patency with plain balloon (PBA) however far from satisfactory. While paclitaxel-coated has been shown to be superior PBA, concern over its safety profile recently arisen after a reported possible increased mortality risk meta-analysis of large lower limb studies. An new type drug coating, sirolimus-coated (SCB), proven improve in coronary arteries....
SUMMARY Recovering arm control is a top priority for people with paralysis. Unfortunately, the complexity of neural mechanisms underlying practically limited effectiveness neurotechnology approaches. Here, we exploited function surviving spinal circuits to restore voluntary and hand in three monkeys cord injury using stimulation. Our interface leverages functional organization dorsal roots convey artificial excitation via electrical stimulation relevant segments at appropriate movement...
To evaluate the ultra-lose dose imaging protocol (ULDP), compared to standard low-dose (LDP), which are used for haemodialysis access, in terms of radiation exposure and image quality.This was a single-centre, institutional review board-approved, prospective, double-blinded randomised controlled study compare quality ULDP LDP. Ten proceduralists, two radiographers, 11 nurses were enrolled. Radiation during 80 procedures (40 angioplasties 40 thrombolysis) recorded (direct patients from report...
Usual short- to mid-term vascular accesses for oncologic patients include the peripherally inserted central catheter and non-tunnelled centrally catheters, in supraclavicular or infraclavicular area. Peripherally catheters can be restrictive active patients; are not ideal terms of exit site location cosmesis, while may associated with puncture-related complications. In this pilot study, we have evaluated off-label use as a tunnelled catheter.Ten were recruited prospective study. A...
