Improving the clinical outcome of scaphoid fractures may benefit from adequate monitoring their healing in order to for example identify complications such as nonunion at an early stage and adjust treatment strategy accordingly. However, quantitative assessment process is limited with current imaging modalities. In this study, high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was used first time assess changes bone density, microarchitecture, strength during conservatively-treated...
Introduction: Peripherally inserted central catheters are venous devices intended for short to medium periods of intravenous treatment. Positioning the catheter tip at cavoatrial junction is necessary optimum performance a peripherally catheter. In this study, safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness electrocardiographic-guided positioning in Dutch teaching hospital were evaluated. Methods: All patients who received 2016 using electrocardiographic guidance compared those where...
Background: Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scintigraphy are second-line imaging techniques that frequently used for the evaluation of patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture. However, as result varying diagnostic performance results, no true reference standard exists fracture diagnosis. We hypothesized use high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) in could improve detection compared conventional clinical setting. Methods: The present...
Aims Besides conventional radiographs, the use of MRI, CT, and bone scintigraphy is frequent in diagnosis a fracture scaphoid. However, which techniques give best results remain unknown. The investigation new imaging technique initially requires an analysis its precision. primary aim this study was to investigate interobserver agreement high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) scaphoid fracture. A secondary for presence other fractures classification Methods Two radiologists two...
Distal radius fractures (DRFs) occur in various complexity patterns among patients differing age, gender, and bone mineral density (BMD). Our aim was to investigate the association of patient characteristics, BMD, microarchitecture, strength with pattern DRFs. In this study, 251 aged 50-90 years a radiologically confirmed DRF who attended Fracture Liaison Service VieCuri Medical Centre, Netherlands, between November 2013 June 2016 were included. all fracture risk factors underling metabolic...
Scaphoid fractures are difficult to diagnose with current imaging modalities. It is unknown whether the shape of scaphoid bone, assessed by statistical modeling, can be used differentiate between fractured and non-fractured bones. Therefore, aim this study was investigate presence a fracture associated modes model (SSM). Forty-one high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans were available from patients clinically suspected whom 15 had fracture. The showed no...
Background Heart Rate Variability (HRV) represents efferent vagus nerve activity which is suggested to be inversely related fundamental mechanisms of tumorigenesis and a predictor prognosis in various types cancer. HRV also believed predict the occurrence severity post-operative complications. We aimed determine role pre-operative as prognostic factor overall cancer free survival patients with colorectal Methods Retrospective analysis was performed detailed dataset diagnosed primary between...
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations patient characteristics, bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitecture and calculated strength with secondary displacement a DRF based on radiographic alignment parameters.Dorsal angulation, radial inclination ulnar variance were assessed conventional radiographs cohort 251 patients, 38 men 213 women, determine anatomic position at presentation (primary position) during follow-up. Secondary fracture in non-operatively treated patients...
According to current guidelines, follow-up of patients with colorectal cancer is ended after five years. Also, chest X-ray not part standard investigation during follow-up. We describe a case 74-year-old patient, more than ten years sigmoid resection because carcinoma the sigmoid. No recurrence was detected intensive However, adenocarcinoma, complaints coughing induced further examination as result detection solitary metastasis in left lung patient. Within half-a-year metastasectomy...
Abstract Background Conventional radiographs and clinical reassessment are considered guides in managing clinically suspected scaphoid fractures. This is a unique study as it assessed the value of conventional cohort patients, all whom underwent additional imaging, regardless outcome reassessment. Questions/purposes (1) What diagnostic performance patients with fracture compared high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT)? (2) HR-pQCT? (3) combined Methods Between December 2017...
