Non-fatal overdose with a new synthetic opioid.

A young man experienced respiratory arrest at home, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed. The patient received naloxone with good effect and was admitted to hospital. He disclosed opioid use, but no substances were detected in routine drug screenings.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the pancreas shows impaired perfusion in pancreas insufficient cystic fibrosis patients.

Background: Perfusion assessment of the pancreas is challenging and poorly evaluated. Pancreatic affection is a prevalent feature of cystic fibrosis (CF). Little is known about pancreatic perfusion in CF.

Interobserver Variation of the Bolus-and-Burst Method for Pancreatic Perfusion with Dynamic - Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound.

Purpose: Dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) can be used for calculating organ perfusion. By combining bolus injection with burst replenishment, the actual mean transit time (MTT) can be estimated. Blood volume (BV) can be obtained by scaling the data to a vessel on the imaging plane.
