Article Synopsis
- Two studies were done to compare special treated platelets (Intercept and Mirasol) with regular platelets to see if they were safe and helpful for patients.
- The main goal was to check if patients had serious bleeding, but the studies couldn’t include as many patients as planned because of money issues.
- The results showed not much difference in bleeding risk between the treated and regular platelets, but treated patients needed more blood products overall. The studies didn’t show any serious problems or deaths directly caused by the treated platelets.
Purpose: This study was conducted to prospectively investigate the interobserver reproducibility of controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measurements and the relationship among the CAP and body mass index (BMI), gender and age.
Methods: Consecutive subjects were studied using the M+ probe of the FibroScan device (Echosens, Paris, France). Measurements were performed by two raters (rater1 and rater2).
Objectives: To evaluate reproducibility of measurements of spleen stiffness (SS) and liver stiffness (LS) at several sites by using point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and to investigate any training effect.
Methods: Healthy volunteers were consecutively enrolled. Measurements of SS and LS were performed by an expert (observer 1) and a novice (observer 2) at three different sites of liver and spleen.
