When Hearts and Minds Collide: A Case Report of Left Ventricle Noncompaction Syndrome as a Precursor to Acute Ischemic Stroke in a 15-Year-Old Along With a Literature Review.

Pediatric stroke, though uncommon, is often underdiagnosed due to subtle symptoms and delayed recognition. Cardiac diseases, accounting for up to 33% of pediatric ischemic strokes, play a significant role. This case report explores the rare occurrence of ischemic stroke in a 15-year-old boy with left ventricular non-compaction syndrome (LVNC).

Tuberculosis of the Heart: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Tuberculosis of the heart is relatively rare and presents a significant diagnostic difficulty for physicians. It is the leading cause of death from infectious illness. It is one of the top 10 leading causes of death worldwide, with a disproportionate impact in low- and middle-income nations.

Post-RNA (mRNA) Vaccination Myocarditis: CMR Features.

RNA (mRNA) vaccines used to prevent COVID-19 infection may cause myocarditis. We describe a case of acute myocarditis in a 27-year-old male after receiving the second dose of a Pfizer immunization. Three days after receiving the second dose of vaccine, he had acute chest pain.

Serum biochemical parameters as a surrogate marker for chest computed tomography in children with COVID-19.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate whether serum biochemical parameters can be used as a surrogate for chest computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of COVID-19 in pediatric patients.

Materials & Methods: We evaluated potential associations between various serum biochemical markers and the COVID-reporting and data system (RADS) pneumonia grading system in 53 individuals with confirmed COVID-19.

Results: A total of 28 chest CT scans (52.

Importation of Entamoeba histolytica and predominance of Klebsiella pneumoniae in liver abscesses: a 7-year retrospective cohort study from the United Arab Emirates.

Background: There is a dearth of information on liver abscesses in the United Arab Emirates. Herein, we describe the clinical features of liver abscesses and determine their incidence rates and clinical outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts of adult patients with a primary diagnosis of liver abscess at a major hospital over a 7-year period.

Comparison of chest radiography and chest CT for evaluation of pediatric COVID-19 pneumonia: Does CT add diagnostic value?

Purpose: First, to investigate the added diagnostic value of chest computed tomography (CT) for evaluating COVID-19 in symptomatic children by comparing chest CT findings with chest radiographic findings, and second, to identify the imaging signs and patterns on CT associated with COVID-19 pneumonia in children.

Materials And Methods: From March 2020 to December 2020, 56 consecutive children (33 males and 23 girls; mean age ± SD, 14.8 ± 5.

Uterine Artery Embolization of Uterine Leiomyomas: Predictive MRI Features of Volumetric Response.

The purpose of this article was to evaluate MRI features of uterine leiomyomas that predict volumetric response after uterine artery embolization (UAE). This retrospective study included 75 patients with 212 uterine leiomyomas who were successfully treated between August 2013 and December 2018. To predict uterine volumetric response, age, number of lesions, and baseline uterine volume were assessed.
