Background/Objectives: Common carotid artery dissection (CCAD) can result in severe neurological sequelae; however, its diagnosis may be challenging due to consciousness disturbance and aphasia. The objective of this article is propose a new imaging feature assist the identification CCAD. Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 139 patients with discharge diagnoses aortic who underwent ultrasound during admission over period three years. Results: Among these patients, 23 had type A...
The aim of this study is to determine whether patients with a non-apnea sleep disorder (NA-SD) and comorbidity have an increased risk periodontal disease.Patients newly diagnosed NA-SDs in 1997 2010 were identified as the cohort from Taiwan National Health Insurance database. For each patient NA-SD, two matched controls without disorders randomly selected for comparison.The overall incidence rate ratio severe diseases was 39% higher NA-SD than comparison (7.93 versus 5.69 per 1,000...
The purpose of this study is to use the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) simulate blood flow with different theoretical models by using not only computation fluid dynamics (CFD) method, but also additional patient boundary conditions obtained echocardiography, and evaluate feasibility simulated fractional reserve (FFRCTS), compared invasive CTA-based FFR. laminar three turbulence (k-ε(k-epsilon), k-ω(k-omega), SST (Menter's shear stress transport)) were implemented predict...
Purpose Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) is a rare immune-endocrinopathy characterized by the failure of at least two endocrine organs. Clinical characteristics have mainly been described in Western population. This study comprehensively analyzed demographic and clinical manifestations APS II III Taiwan. Methods Patients aged ≥20 years with diagnosis or ten hospitals between 2001 2021 were enrolled. The serological patients retrospectively reviewed. Results Among 187 enrolled (45 men...
Advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) has a poor prognosis and is often resistant to the conventional regimens of mitotane administration systemic chemotherapy. In addition surgery, local therapeutic measures can be valuable. Here, we present case 33-year-old woman who developed left retroperitoneal recurrent ACC with hepatic pulmonary metastases 1 year after radical adrenalectomy. The tumors progressed under chemotherapy treatments. She was treated yttrium-90 selective internal radiation...
Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Up to now, the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their subgroups in pSS still controversial. In this study we tried elucidate roles Tregs its pSS. Total 43 patients 23 health persons as control were enrolled study. We grouped according anti-SSa/SSb EULAR Sjögren's disease activity index (ESSDAI). Among patients, 14 followed after treatment. The percentage rTregs (resting Treg cells) among was increased group,...
The CHA2 DS2 -VASc score has immense prognostic value in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). We aimed to determine the usefulness advanced renal dysfunction and its addition improving predictive accuracy.In total, 3775 ESUS were enrolled from a nationwide hospital-based prospective study. Advanced was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 or under dialysis. Clinical outcomes included recurrent 1-year all-cause mortality. Poor...
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, patient-specific electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and computed tomography three-dimensional image reconstruction technique investigate blood flow in coronary arteries during cardiac arrhythmia. Methods Two patients with premature ventricular contraction-type arrhythmia one atrial fibrillation-type were investigated. inlet velocity artery simulation applied measured profile left outflow tract...
Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been proposed as a possible adverse effect of sildenafil. There are rare cases in the literature, but none had strong evidence to support. Our case is first demonstrate focal punctate diffusion-weighted imaging lesion at right hippocampus after use This finding, which suggestive cytotoxic edema and typical for TGA, may provide us implication sildenafil TGA. We speculate that precipitate TGA by altering blood flow, inducing venous congestion or cortical...
Abstract Context Recent studies suggest that the clinical characteristics and biological behavior of pituitary tumors (PITs) in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) may not be as aggressive previously reported. Increased imaging recommended by screening guidelines identifies more tumors, potentially at an earlier stage. However, it is unknown if these have different MEN1 mutations. Objective To assess without PITs, compare among Methods Data a tertiary referral center...
Bladder cancer (BC) is a significant global health issue with high incidence and mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial role in regulating gene expression have been found to be dysregulated BC. Understanding the of miRNAs BC development could lead targeted therapies improved patient management. Our study presents thorough examination correlation between miRNA research from 2008 2022. With help 3 powerful methods, including VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, CiteSpace software, we analyzed...
