Transjugular placement of an intrahepatic stent is a new technique to establish portosystemic shunt for treatment portal hypertension. A puncture needle advanced in catheter through the inferior vena cava into hepatic vein; then branch vein punctured and expandable metallic mesh implanted shunt.We attempted stent-shunt procedure 100 112 consecutive patients with variceal bleeding due cirrhosis, who were followed mean (+/- SD) 12 +/- 6 months. Of patients, 22 had Child-Pugh class C 10 treated...
Abstract This study investigates the effects of kyphoplasty on pain and mobility in patients with osteoporosis painful vertebral fractures compared conventional medical management. Introduction: Pharmacological treatment primary does not prevent impaired activity fractures. Therefore, we evaluated clinical outcome after associated chronic for >12 months. Materials Methods: Sixty presenting months were included this prospective, nonrandomized controlled study. Twenty-four hours before...
In Brief Study Design. A comparative prospective trial evaluating 3-year outcome. Objective. To compare clinical and morphologic outcomes as well follow-up fractures after kyphoplasty of painful osteoporotic vertebral with calcium-phosphate (CaP) cement (group 1) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-cement 2). Summary Background Data. CaP cements seem to be an alternative material for usage in fractures. are biodegradable replaceable by newly formed bone implantation. Concerns have been raised...
To evaluate the long-term results of recanalization occluded iliac arteries with local low-dose thrombolysis, angioplasty, and, if necessary, stent implantation.Forty-seven patients acute or chronic occlusions common external artery, both, underwent thrombolysis (n = 47), percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) (with balloon dilation [n 43] and rotational 30] in whom a retrograde was performed), needed, intravascular placement 18). Follow-up lasted 3-53 (mean, 21) months.The primary rate...
"Manners maketh man." This phrase is attributed to William of Wykeham (1324–1404) and conveys the idea that good manners education are essential in shaping a true human being. The expression has also gained wider recognition through film "Kingsman: Secret Service". was an English bishop, chancellor, founder New College, Oxford (1379) Winchester College (1382)—one England’s oldest schools. He played significant role politics during reigns Edward III Richard II. His influence on architecture...
Abstract Background This retrospective study of 73 myeloma patients with painful vertebral lesions compares clinical and radiomorphological outcomes up to 2 years after additional kyphoplasty, radiation therapy or systemic treatment only. Methods We assessed pain, disability parameters by visual analogue scale (VAS 0‐100), Oswestry Disability Index re‐evaluating available follow‐up X‐rays, respectively, in that were treated according a pathway. Results After the VAS score was reduced all...
Perioperative hemodilution (HD) has become an accepted means of reducing transfusion requirements. Therefore, the effects limited (decrease in hematocrit [Hct] from 30 to 20%, "HD1") and severe Hct 20 14%, "HD2") acute normovolemic HD with 6% hydroxyethyl starch on splanchnic blood flows (electromagnetic flow probes), O2 uptakes deliveries, surface tensions (PO2) (Clark-type electrode), hepatic metabolism (organic acids), histology (liver biopsies) were studied nine pigs anesthetized...
Supranormal oxygen (O 2 ) transport may benefit critically ill patients. Catecholamines are clinically employed for this purpose. However, their effects on splanchnic haemodynamics and oxygenation not well defined. The of dobutamine (DOBU), dopamine (DOPA), noradrenaline (NA) blood flows (electromagnetic flow probes), O deliveries uptakes (catheterisation portal hepatic veins) were studied in nine anaesthetised (ketamine/flunitrazepam), ventilated, paralysed, laparotomised pigs. All three...
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating cystic renal masses using Bosniak classification system. Materials Methods: Between January 2010 December 2020, a total 844 patients with suspected underwent or partial nephrectomy at Department Urology, Heidelberg University Clinic. Among them, 123 presented masses. Out this cohort, 15 preoperative examinations both MRI CT within 6-week timeframe. These were retrospectively analyzed...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed in radiation protection, encompassing both medical devices and software. These technologies are integrated with AI throughout their manufacturing application processes. This article underscores the imperative for comprehensive regulation utilization of AI. Decisions regarding should not solely rest manufacturers, professionals, or patients. Instead, an overarching "neutral" authority must be engaged to regulate, review, enforce adherence...
The second most common hematologic malignancy is the clonal proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells within bone marrow. There presence monoclonal immunoglobulins in serum and/or urine. This results anemia, myelosuppression, destruction, and clinical consequences para-proteinemia on kidney function other organ systems. disease manifests through acronym CRAB (hypercalcemia, renal impairment, lesions). Less frequent manifestations multiple myeloma are extramedullary localizations. Myeloma can...
Motive: Documentation and administration, unpleasant necessities, take a substantial part of the working time in subspecialty interventional radiology. With increasing future demand for clinical radiology predicted, savings from use text drafting technologies could be valuable contribution towards our field. Method: Three cases peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line insertion were defined present study. The current version ChatGPT was tasked with reports, following Radiological...
