Ophthopedia Update:Clinical Course and Visual Outcomes of Papilledema in Pediatric Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but life-threatening event with significant neurologic and visual morbidity. In this study, we report on the natural history and visual outcomes of papilledema in children with CVST. #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter #Scicomm

#Ultrasound plays a fundamental role in diagnosing complex congenital heart disease, making echocardiograms the starting point for every diagnosis of congenital #heartdisease.

https://lnkd.in/gTNjekaK Article title: Peritoneal catheter survival: The impact of unroofing   Author(s): Barone RJ*; Beresan M; Pattin M; Gimenez NS; Berga G; Santopietro M; Ramirez L   Journal: Archives of Clinical Nephrology   Journal ISSN: 2581-3870 Summary: Background: Unroofing is a controversial procedure to avoid catheter removal in the treatment of the chronic exit site and tunnel infection, but is now rarely recommended. Here we aimed to evaluate the effects of the unroofing procedure on peritoneal catheter survival. Methods: From our database, we prospectively evaluated the outcome of 139 peritoneal catheters placed in 121 patients (1.14 catheters per patient, 73 female, 48 male) from 08-03-1993 to 12-31-2016. Twenty-three infected catheters needed surgical unroofing of the tunnel tract. We calculated the cumulative catheter survival rates (Kaplan-Meier) of 1) overall catheters and 2) not unroofed catheters, considering catheter removal as an endpoint. We also calculated 3) the unroofed catheter survival, considering the date of unroofing or catheter removal as the endpoint and, 4) continuity of the unroofed catheters post-unroofing, considering the unroofing date as if it were a new catheter and catheter removal as the endpoint. #DiabeticNephropathy #ChronicKidneyDiseases #AcuteKidneyDisease #KidneyFibrosis #KidneyCalculi #RenalFailure #RenalTransplantation #ChronicHaemodialysis #RenalCancer #RenalImpairment #Glomerulonephritis #Urogynecology #ReconstructiveUrology #RenalHypertension #Nephrolithiasis #RenalImmunology #RenalPhysiology #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #RenalOsteodystrophy #RenovascularDisease #ClinicalNephrology #PediatricNephrology #Neurourology #PediatricUrology #TubulointerstitialDisorders #GeriatricNephrology #Haematuria

Surgical treatment is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) has been applied to patients with BCS and it has shown a favorable outcome. #BuddChiariSyndrome #PercutaneousTransluminalBalloonAngioplasty #InferiorVenaCava #BalloonDilatation #Jaundice #PortalHypertension #CoronaryArteryDiseases #ValvularHeartDisease #Electrophysiology #CardiacElectrophysiology #Echocardiography #InterventionalCardiology #ClinicalCardiology #NuclearCardiology #AcuteCoronarySyndromes #ArrhythmiaEP #CVImaging #CVDPrevention #CardiacArrhythmias #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #CardiacPhysiology #CardiacRegeneration #CardiacRehabilitation #Cardiomyopathies #CardiovascularDrugs #CardiovascularTherapy #CardiovascularAnatomy #CongenitalHeartDefects 

Cardio-Renal Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes 📝 A comprehensive review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): 💡The review focused on patients who require pharmacotherapy with differing mechanisms of action and safety profiles can reduce cardiovascular risk beyond the outcomes achieved with blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or glycemic control alone. 📌 There are 5 groups of medications can be helpful: - ACE inhibitors - ARBs - SGLT-2 inhibitors - GLP-1RA - Nonsteroidal MRAs 💡 There are some clinical trials of combination therapy of these agents are ongoing and results are awaited with the hope that potential synergistic effects may lead to further improvements in cardiovascular outcomes. https://lnkd.in/dHVt2VXR #diabetes #cardiology #nephrology

For individuals with Essential Tremor or Parkinson’s Disease, loss of normal motor function can not only be physically debilitating, but also challenging to process emotionally. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new form of treatment for drug-resistant Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease called MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS). MRgFUS is an incision-less, non-surgical procedure that is completed in one short outpatient appointment and offers immediate results. MRgFUS works by utilizing high-energy ultrasound beams to target and lesion the area of the brain that is responsible for the tremor. A unique aspect of the procedure is that it is completed while the patient is awake and without anesthesia. Prior to the procedure, the patient traces two spirals and lines. During the procedure, this exercise is repeated several times to ensure that the lesion is targeting the correct area. After, the patient completes the same drawing to demonstrate the improvement in their tremor. This marked change is depicted in the video. The results from the procedure are typically permanent, and patients see a meaningful reduction or complete elimination of their tremor. UCLA is the most experienced hospital in California that offers MRgFUS. MRgFUS is a joint effort between the departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology at UCLA, and Dr. Ausaf Bari, UCLA Neurosurgeon and Director of the Functional and Restorative Neurosurgery Program, performs the procedure.

https://lnkd.in/guFYTc4v Article title: Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm Secondary to Accidental Stone Chip Injury and its Excision Author(s): SW Nagre* Journal: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology Journal ISSN: 2455-2976 Abstract: A pseudo aneurysm, also known as a false aneurysm, is a hematoma that forms as a result of a leaking hole in artery. Hematoma was contained by the surrounding tissues. Also it must continue to communicate with the artery to be considered a pseudo aneurysm. Post stab injury subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm is rare entity with great significance because of risk of complications like thrombosis, rupture, gangrene, limb loss and should be operated early whenever diagnosed. Our case report has 18 year male patient with history of accidental stone chip injury to left supraclavicular region followed by pulsatile swelling after five days due to subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm. We excised pseudoaneurysm with direct closure of opening in subclavian artery and removal of stone chip. #Pseudoaneurysm #StoneChipInjury #SubclavianArtery #PulsatileSwelling #CoronaryArteryDiseases #ValvularHeartDisease #Electrophysiology #CardiacElectrophysiology #Echocardiography #InterventionalCardiology #ClinicalCardiology #NuclearCardiology #AcuteCoronarySyndromes #ArrhythmiaEP #CVImaging #CVDPrevention #CardiacArrhythmias #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #CardiacPhysiology #CardiacRegeneration #CardiacRehabilitation #Cardiomyopathies #CardiovascularDrugs #CardiovascularTherapy #CardiovascularAnatomy #CongenitalHeartDefects

Although the disease generally presents itself with fever, cardiac murmur (bruit), splenomegaly and anemia; in this case we report a double valve endocarditis of a 23 years-old female patient who was admitted to our neurology clinic with acute ischemic stroke. #CoronaryArteryDiseases #ValvularHeartDisease #Electrophysiology #CardiacElectrophysiology #Echocardiography #InterventionalCardiology #ClinicalCardiology #NuclearCardiology #AcuteCoronarySyndromes #ArrhythmiaEP #CVImaging #CVDPrevention #CardiacArrhythmias #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #CardiacPhysiology #CardiacRegeneration #CardiacRehabilitation #Cardiomyopathies #CardiovascularDrugs #CardiovascularTherapy #CardiovascularAnatomy #CongenitalHeartDefects
