Abstract: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the presence of dysplastic lung that does not communicate with tracheobronchial tree, and has aberrant systemic arterial supply. While most are asymptomatic, they rarely can present hemoptysis, which been traditionally managed surgical resection sequestration. We report case an 18-year-old male who presented acute large-volume hemoptysis on background recurrent minor episodes due to intralobar He...
ABSTRACT Recent developments in the field of neurosurgery, specifically those dealing with modification mood and affect as part psychiatric disease, have led some researchers to discuss ethical implications surgery alter personality personal identity. As knowledge technology advance, discussions undesirable traits, or possibly enhancement normal will play an increasingly larger role literature. So far, identity yet be explored a neurosurgical context, despite fact that 1) neurological...
Dysregulation of iron homeostasis is implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this pilot study, common variants the apolipoprotein E (APOE) and HFE genes resulting overload disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (C282Y, H63D S65C
To explore the patient perception on radiation-related cancer risk from interventional radiology (IR) procedures and whether informed radiation consent is warranted.A multiple-choice survey was prospectively administered to 68 adults undergoing a body or neuro-IR procedure with ionizing exposure. Subgroup analysis chi-square Fisher exact test performed based past IR history (P < .05).A total of 81% patients wanted be if there 3% increased over 5 years. Although 55% considered small risk, 28%...
Neurosurgical patients may be unaware of components their intra-operative care. The relationship between patient gender and comfort level in the neurosurgical operating room (OR) has not been previously studied. Our objective was to gain insight into patients' perspective OR environment, including staffing observers, role medical students, catheterization, exposure, verbiage, using a qualitative needs assessment.Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 (14 female, six...
Introduction: Current methods of evaluating adequacy endovascular procedures are imperfect and do not always predict which patients will well. The purpose this study was to evaluate the role real-time quantitative measurements perfusion among with critical limb ischemia. Materials Methods: Thirty-four ischemia undergoing treatment were recruited. Perfusion Images foot obtained pre post successful angioplasty using an SPY Elite System (Novadaq Technologies, Ontario, Canada). Patients followed...
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes and safety of prostate artery embolization (PAE) for treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: A single-center, retrospective review PAE performed BPH was performed. Validated International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality life (QoL) index, Index Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaires were completed at baseline least 12 months post-procedure. imaging preprocedure as well 3 post-procedure volume (PV)....
Chordomas are rare, locally-aggressive tumours with a high rate of local recurrence. Recurrence along the route surgical entry is an uncommon form treatment failure. We report case 59-year-old female who presented 3 cm neck mass in left mid-sternocleidomastoid region. She had history large clival chordoma resected via transcervical, transparotid and transoral approach endoscopic intranasal exposure palatal split 4.5 years previously, followed by radiation to primary site. Biopsy confirmed...
The study sought to determine Canadian radiology resident perception of and interest in global health imaging (GHI) the barriers they encounter pursuing GHI experiences during residency training.A peer-reviewed, online, anonymous, multiple-choice survey was distributed residents at English-language programs.Fifty responded (∼16% response rate); 72% respondents perceived an unmet need for medical developing world. A majority (60%) would have been likely participate a experience if one had...
To assess the prevalence of patients whose anatomy would be potentially amenable to percutaneous cholecystoenteric lumen-apposing metallic stents (LAMS) insertion from a population acute cholecystitis patients.Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography images in 100 consecutive adult with were reviewed retrospectively. Feasibility LAMS placement percutaneously or endoscopic ultrasound guidance was defined as presence straight and unobstructed trajectory skin gallbladder, between...
The study sought to assess how academic interventional radiologists determine and disclose patients the intraprocedural role of radiology residents in (IR) suite.A qualitative consisting in-person interviews with 9 from 3 hospitals was conducted. Interviews were transcribed, underwent modified thematic analysis.Seven themes emerged. 1) Interventional permit perform increasingly complex procedures graded responsibility. While observed technical ability is important determining extent resident...
We report the first case of hepatoid adenocarcinoma skull base, as well reported in head and neck region. Hepatoid is a rare, aggressive, extrahepatic malignancy with distinct morphological similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma, absence primary hepatic disease. A 45-year-old man presented sinus headaches retro-orbital pain was found have nasopharyngeal mass on endoscopy large, destructive sinonasal extending intracranially imaging. Histo- cytopathological features were similar cells...
