Medical radiation-induced cataracts, especially those resulting from head and neck CT studies, are an issue of concern. The current study aimed to determine the risk cataract associated with repeated radiation exposure CT.This used information a random sample 2 million persons enrolled in nationally representative Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Exposed cases consisted patients tumor 10-50 years old who underwent at least one between 2000 2009. nonexposed control group...
Abstract Background Early diagnosis and treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung diseases (NTM-LD) pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are important clinical issues. The present study aimed to compare identify the chest CT characteristics that help distinguish NTM disease from PTB in patients with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-positive sputum. Methods From January 2009 April 2012, we received 467 AFB sputum specimens. A total 95 scans obtained 159 were analyzed, 75 20 NTM-LD. typical findings...
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a potentially devastating neurologic syndrome, but timely treatment may lead to complete reversal of the disease course. We reviewed 12 cases PRES and describe clinical history imaging findings, including conventional magnetic resonance (MRI), diffusion‐weighted (DWI), calculated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, used establish diagnosis PRES. Three male nine female patients aged between 11 70 years (mean, 37 years) with...
Treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer with gefitinib and erlotinib is efficacious. However, while many studies have reported on gefitinib-related interstitial disease (ILD), less published data are available regarding erlotinib-induced ILD. Here, we report a case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma who developed ILD due to initially thereafter. The two episodes were treated successfully the discontinuation tyrosine kinase inhibitors high-dose intravenous corticosteroids.
Objective: To evaluate the association between radiation exposure from repeated nuclear medicine (NM) examinations and subsequent risk of neoplasm in pediatric patients. Methods: From 2000 to 2017, participants under 18 years age who underwent NM scanning were identified using Health Welfare Data Science Center (HWDC) dataset, which was extracted Taiwan National Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Both exposed cohort unexposed subjects followed up with until presence any malignancy arose,...
To investigate the association between thyroid cancer as well most radiosensitive hematological cancers and radiation exposure from mammography. This study used information a random sample of two million persons enrolled in nationally representative Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database. The exposed group was composed women aged 18-65 who had undergone diagnostic mammography 2000 2007. nonexposed control NHI database never There were 25,362 203,317 group. After adjusting...
High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a key element in the rescue of cardiac arrest patients but difficult to achieve circumstances involving aerosol transmission, such as COVID-19 pandemic. This prospective randomized crossover trial included 30 experienced health care providers evaluate impact personal protective equipment (PPE) on CPR quality and rescuer safety. Participants were asked perform continuous for 5 minutes manikin with three types PPE: level D-PPE, C-PPE, PAPR....
In thoracic surgery, the double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) is used for differential ventilation of lung. DLT allows lung collapse on surgical side that requires access to and mediastinal areas. placement a given patient depends two settings: correct size (or ‘size’) insertion depth ‘depth’). Incorrect placements cause oxygen desaturation or carbon dioxide retention in patient, with possible failure. No guideline these settings currently available anesthesiologists, except aid by...
Context Momordica charantia L. (Cucurbitaceae), known as bitter melon, is an edible fruit cultivated in the tropics. In this study, active compound, 5β,19-epoxycucurbita-6,23(E)-diene-3β,19(R),25-triol (ECDT), isolated from M. was investigated regard to its cytotoxic effect on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells.Objective To examine mechanisms of ECDT-induced apoptosis HCC cells.Materials and methods The inhibitive activity ECDT HA22T cells examined by MTT assay, colony formation...
