Objective: Aim: To compare X-ray signs in different gestational and body weight groups of patients with NEC.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, enrolling 52 preterm newborns with symptoms of NEC regardless of onset time, who underwent treatment at Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Municipal Non-commercial enterprise "City Children Hospital №2", Odesa. The patients were split into 3 clinical groups: very preterm newborns (VPN), moderately preterm newborns (MPN), and moderately preterm newborns with intrauterine growth restriction (MPN+IUGR).
Background: Pulmonary emboli (PE) is a life threatening condition that discovered in many patients only "post mortem". Sub massive and massive PE that led to hemodynamic collapse characterized by right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, leading to a higher risk of death.
Objectives: To assess the ability to predict in hospital death of patients with acute PE, using a non-gated computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), based on the dimensions of the right ventricle.
Article Synopsis
- The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates the central nervous system and is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), especially in infants with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
- Researchers identified a rare disease trait in 13 individuals from 8 families due to a genetic variant in the ESAM gene, affecting endothelial cell function and leading to developmental issues.
- The study highlights the connection between endothelial dysfunction and NDDs, suggesting the emergence of a new category of diseases called "tightjunctionopathies."
Background: Severe mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is believed to bear high operative and post-operative risk during mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery, including longer surgery time, post-surgical valvular leaks and increased rate of embolic phenomena. We hypothesized that quantification of mitral calcium in pre-operative chest computerized tomography (CCT), performed to assess aortic root before cross-clamping may help in risk assessment of adverse intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing MVR.
Methods: We included patients who underwent MVR between the years 2015 and 2018 at Poriya medical center.
