Article Synopsis
- Lymphatic imaging plays a crucial role in managing congenital heart disease, but the effects of the contrast agent ferumoxytol on these imaging methods are not fully understood.
- This study assessed how ferumoxytol affects T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging by analyzing 119 patients, noting a significant reduction in thoracic duct visibility for sedated patients compared to non-sedated ones.
- The findings suggest that while T1-weighted imaging can show thoracic duct enhancement, T2-weighted imaging fails to visualize it if done after contrast administration, highlighting important timing considerations in imaging procedures.
Article Synopsis
- A new team called Pediatric Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERTs) was created to help kids with serious blood clots in their lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- The study showed that using PERTs made the treatment for these kids faster and more effective, especially in giving medications and tests.
- After starting PERT, more kids who needed special treatments received them, but there were no big changes in major complications or how long they stayed in the hospital.

Background: Safety events and technical success (TS) have been previously reported for aortic and pulmonary valvuloplasty, but a composite performance measure as a novel, patient-centered strategy has neither been developed nor been studied. This study aims to refine a procedural performance (PP) variable, a composite of TS and procedural safety, for isolated, standard-risk aortic and pulmonary valvuloplasty.
Methods: A multicenter review was performed using data from the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes registry.
Introduction The impact of the current economic and environmental climate, both nationally and globally, is further straining the NHS. This has led to scrutiny of high-expenditure areas, including consumables. Clinician's knowledge surrounding health economics is sparse, and we conducted this survey to assess cost-awareness within the Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) departmental staff.
