N-butyl 2-Cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in Nephron Sparing Superselective Embolization of Iatrogenic Renovascular Injuries: A Single Centre Experience.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of N-butyl-2-cyano-acrylate (NBCA) for endovascular management of iatrogenic renal-vascular injuries and effects on renal function. Material & Methods Fifteen patients with diagnosed or suspected iatrogenic renal vascular injuries, following percutaneous procedures formed the study group. All the patients were having retroperitoneal hemorrhage or hematuria, with hemodynamic instability at the time of presentation.

Takayasu arteritis coexisting with scalp necrosis, alopecia, and sterile osteomyelitis.

A twelve-year-old girl with classical features of Takayasu arteritis presented with scalp ulceration and osteomyelitis. Her computed tomography (CT) of the head revealed an extensive ulcerated lesion over the left high parietal region with lytic destruction of the outer and inner tables of the skull. Because of full-thickness calvarial bone involvement, chronic osteomyelitis, and ulcerated scalp lesion, she underwent debridement of involved bone along with the margin of normal skin.

COVID myocardial involvement presenting as left ventricular aneurysm and clot associated with normal coronary anatomy, deep vein thrombosis, and abnormal brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation.

A 40-year-old non-diabetic, non-hypertensive male patient presented with complaints of dyspnea of a few days duration and coronavirus -19 disease (COVID) pneumonia. The electrocardiography (ECG) revealed sinus tachycardia with T inversion in V1 only. The ECG revealed a left ventricular aneurysm with a clot and severe left ventricular dysfunction.

Innovative Method to Retrieve Misplaced Guidewires Using Guidewires and Balloons.

Central venous catheters (CVC) are placed commonly for long-term access in critically ill patients for injecting medicines, including chemotherapy in oncology patients, and for total parenteral nutrition. We herein describe innovative method of snaring two misplaced guidewires using balloons and guidewires.

Evaluation of Remote Monitoring Device for Monitoring Vital Parameters against Reference Standard: A Diagnostic Validation Study for COVID-19 Preparedness.

Context: Vital parameters including blood oxygen level, respiratory rate, pulse rate, and body temperature are crucial for triaging patients to appropriate medical care. Advances in remote health monitoring system and wearable health devices have created a new horizon for delivery of efficient health care from a distance.

Materials And Methods: This diagnostic validation study included patients attending the outpatient department of the institute.

Bronchial artery embolization. What further we can offer?

Introduction: Massive hemoptysis is the most feared of all respiratory emergencies, with many underlying causes. In 90% of cases, the source of hemoptysis is the bronchial circulation. Despite high recurrence rates, bronchial artery embolization (BAE) remains the first-line treatment in management of hemoptysis.

Recurrence of coronary artery lesions after complete regression in a peculiar case of Kawasaki disease.

Kawasaki disease is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children with serious repercussions of coronary artery lesions. Recurrences of the disease are relatively rare in clinical practice. We present a case of recurrent Kawasaki disease, wherein the coronary artery lesions which were documented during the initial illness demonstrated complete regression over the following months, but reappeared with recurrence of the disease.

Qualitative and Quantitative Comparison of Contrast-Enhanced Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery, Magnetization Transfer Spin Echo, and Fat-Saturation T1-Weighted Sequences in Infectious Meningitis.

Objective: To compare the contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (CE-FLAIR), the CE T1-weighted (CE-T1W) sequence with fat suppression (FS) and magnetization transfer (MT) for early detection and characterization of infectious meningitis.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients and 10 control subjects were evaluated with the CE-FLAIR and the CE-T1W sequences with FS and MT. Qualitative assessment was done by two observers for presence and grading of abnormal leptomeningeal enhancement.
