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.

D-dimers in advanced liver cirrhosis: Useful biomarker or not?

In clinical practice, the d-dimer levels rule out venous thromboembolism and diagnose disseminated intravascular coagulation. d-dimers increase in both physiological and pathological conditions. Liver cirrhosis, especially in the final stages, is characterized by complex coagulation and fibrinolysis factor disorders.

Management of Postpartum Extensive Venous Thrombosis after Second Pregnancy.

: Pregnancy induces a physiological prothrombotic state. The highest risk period for venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism in pregnant women is during the postpartum period. : We present the case of a young woman who gave birth 2 weeks before admission and was transferred to our clinic for edema.

Biomarkers imaging in the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma and prognosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5 most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world, according to the World Health Organization. The incidence of HCC is between 3/100000 and 78.1/100000, with a high incidence reported in areas with viral hepatitis B and hepatitis C, thus affecting Asia and Africa predominantly.

Budd-Chiari syndrome as an initial presentation of hepatocellular carcinoma: a case report.

We report the case of a 84-year-old admitted with symptoms of congestive heart failure. Ultrasonography revealed a hyperechoic nodule in the left lobe of the liver, with a peripheral hypoechoic rim, multiple irregular hypoechoic nodules in both hepatic lobes, portal vein, inferior vena cava, and right atrium thrombosis. On ultrasonographic and alpha-fetoprotein criteria the case was interpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma with Budd-Chiari syndrome.
