Transradial cerebral angiography in the neonate and infant: a case series.

Background: We aim to share our experience of transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography and intervention in five patients ranging from 6 days to 7 months of age.

Methods: In this institutional review board-approved, retrospective case series, we reviewed all patients who underwent TRA for cerebral angiography with and without intervention. We describe three techniques for radial artery cannulation, namely: (1) bareback; (2) with a micropuncture sheath; and (3) with an intravenous catheter.

Back to basics: lung volumes on pediatric chest X-rays-pitfalls and diagnostic implications.

Evaluating lung "volumes" when interpreting pediatric chest radiographs is useful for supporting the diagnosis of lung pathology in children. Lung volumes can be estimated using semi-objective criteria such as anterior rib counting. Estimating lung volumes is one advantage plain radiographs have over other imaging modalities such as ultrasound or even cross-sectional imaging (Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, where volumes can be calculated, but remain difficult to quickly be appreciated subjectively or semi-objectively in clinical practice).

Cardiovascular disease risk in people of African ancestry with HIV in the United Kingdom.

Objectives: Our objective was to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in people of African ancestry with HIV in the UK.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of CVD risk factors in Black people with HIV aged ≥40 years and estimated the 10-year CVD risk using QRISK®3-2018. Correlations between body mass index (BMI) and CVD risk factors were described using Pearson correlation coefficients, and factors associated with 10-year CVD risk ≥5% were described using logistic regression.
