Exploring the Intersection of Blood Transfusion and Same-Day Computed Tomography Imaging: An Overview of Clinical Risks and Practices.

The use of transfusions, whether involving whole blood or specific blood components, is essential for managing various clinical conditions. Many cases are acute, often requiring post-transfusion imaging evaluation. While there is no absolute contraindication for chest imaging following blood transfusion, it should be approached cautiously.

Bilateral same-session flexible ureteroscopy for renal stones: a feasible method.

A staged ureteroscopic procedure is generally preferred to treat bilateral renal stones. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of bilateral same-session flexible ureteroscopy (BS-fURS) in renal stones. A total of 81 patients underwent bilateral BS-fURS between March 2014 and March 2021 for bilateral renal stones.

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy diagnosis by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A case report.

Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy (MHE) is a potentially reversible spectrum of neuro-psychiatric alterations in patients with acute or chronic liver disease, in the presence of a normal neurological examination. Studies demonstrated that early diagnosis and treatment of this complication increases the quality of life of the patients and leads to an overall better liver disease management. Currently, a practical method of diagnosing MHE is through psychological tests, with modest accuracy.
