A new blood Row imaging system is described that com- bines a conventional pulsed Doppler device and newly developed au- tocorrelator. In the flow within given cross section of live organ displayed in real time. The direction its variance are expressed by means difference color hue, respectively. Experiments were conducted with mechanical an electrical scanner using phantoms, good agreement theory was obtained. Studies on clinical significance have also been carried out for normal diseased...
Abstract Background Warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, is widely used for preventing and treating thromboembolic diseases. While guidelines exist managing elevated prothrombin time‐international normalized ratio (INR) in patients on warfarin, the treatment warfarin overdose these yet to be standardized. Case Presentation A 41‐year‐old woman ingested 230 mg of with suicidal intent, along other medications. Initially unconscious, her INR was 1.0, laboratory results were normal. Prophylactic...
Decision-making regarding amputation in severe open extremity fractures is challenging. Various scoring systems, such as the Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS), have guided critical decisions for nearly three decades, yet no consensus or clear criteria been established. The aim of this study to identify predictive factors using MESS. We retrospectively analyzed patients with limb classified Gustilo-Anderson type 3B 3C, treated between April 2013 and September 2024 at two tertiary...
We developed the first biplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe with two orthogonal transducers, allowing synchronous side-by-side displays of heart on a monitor TV, and compared its diagnostic value that conventional single-plane TEE using commercially available Doppler equipment in 200 consecutive patients intraoperatively, perioperatively, or an outpatient basis.Insertion was easy, except one patient mediastinal tumor, no complications were encountered. Both transverse...
Recent advances in miniaturization of phased-array and mechanical ultrasound devices have resulted exploration alternative approaches to cardiac vascular imaging the form transesophageal or intravascular imaging. Preliminary efforts adapting endoscopes designed for use a transvascular approach used full-sized introduced directly into right atrium open-chested animals. The purpose this study was assess feasibility using custom-made, very small endoscope intracardiac intravascularly through...
Abstract Background Hybrid emergency room systems, namely hybrid ER (HER), enable us to perform computed tomography (CT), surgery, and interventional radiology (IVR) without patient transfer. HER significantly shortened the time CT after arrival allowed achieve early intervention, resulting in reduced mortality from exsanguination patients with severe blunt trauma. Case Presentation We encountered a diagnosed left common iliac artery occlusion dissection caused by traumatic compressive...
Patients with factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency present a bleeding tendency that is difficult to diagnose because their coagulation test results are normal. We herein report case of 74-year-old male who presented our hospital in cardiac arrest. After resuscitation, he was found have sigmoid volvulus and necrosis; therefore, an emergency laparotomy performed. Intraoperative findings revealed extensive strangulated ileus addition volvulus. performed resection without reconstruction maintained...
Accurately obtaining a patient’s respiratory rate is crucial for promptly identifying any sudden changes in their condition during emergencies. Typically, the assessed through combination of impedance change measurements and electrocardiography (ECG). However, are prone to interference from body movements. Conversely, capnometer coupled with ventilator offers method measuring that unaffected by capnometers mainly used evaluate respiration when using or an Ambu bag CO2 concentration at...
