Purpose: The study aimed to investigate imaging abnormalities associated with post-acute COVID-19 using F-18 FDG PET/CT and PET/ rsfMRI brain.
Methods: We retrospectively recruited 13 patients with post-acute COVID-19. The post-acute COVID-19 symptoms and neuropsychiatric tests were performed before F-18 FDG PET/CT whole body with PET/rsfMRI brain.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) on renal function in cardiac patients, focusing on changes in serum cystatin C levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- After 35 sessions of EECP treatment, results showed a significant decrease in serum cystatin C and an increase in estimated GFR over a median follow-up of 16 months.
- The findings suggest that EECP can enhance long-term renal function, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment or high NT-proBNP levels.
