Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT compared with splenoportography in postliver transplant with giant varix and thrombus in portal vein: Case report.

Imaging remains an essential aspect in evaluating patients receiving liver transplants, especially in cases of complications such as portal vein thrombosis. Several imaging modalities are available to approach portal vein thrombosis, with portography as the gold standard. However, the development of noninvasive methods such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is preferred nowadays due to the fewer complications in nature.

The predicting formula and scoring system for cardiac iron overload for thalassaemia children: Study from a middle-income country.

Magnetic resonance imaging T2* screening is the gold standard for detecting cardiac iron overload in thalassemia, but its implementation in Indonesia is limited by the high costs. A predicting formula and scoring system based on low-cost investigations is needed. This cross-sectional study was conducted among thalassemia aged 6-18 years at Rumah Sakit Anak dan Bunda RSAB Harapan Kita Indonesia, during October 2017 to April 2019.

Hearing instability and abnormal auditory pathways in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus infection: An audiological and radiological single-centre prospective cohort analysis.

Introduction: This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the hearing dynamics and the changes in the central auditory pathways in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection.

Materials And Methods: cCMV-infected neonates aged ≤3 weeks old were recruited and underwent clinical and laboratory tests to detect viremia and symptomatic infection, hearing examinations at three and six months of age, and radiological imaging of brain auditory pathways using diffusion tensor imaging.

Results: From 26 eligible infants (52 ears), we detected symptomatic infection in nine (34.

The difficulties of recanalization in chronic superior cava vein obstruction by penetrating diagnostic catheter, PTA, and stenting: A case report.

Superior vena cava obstruction is caused by a blockage in its blood flow; one of its few causes can be device related. This case follows a patient presented with superior vena cava obstruction following a septal cardiac implant. Endovascular intervention has been associated with more rapid, complete symptom relief and lower complication rates.
