Article Synopsis
- Sonic hedgehog hepatocellular adenoma (shHCA) presents a unique challenge due to its high risk of hemorrhage and specific associations such as obesity and female gender.
- This study examined MRI scans from 29 patients, identifying potential imaging characteristics linked to shHCA, including the presence of fluid-filled cavities.
- Results indicate that MRI can help in diagnosing shHCA, revealing that nearly half of the cases displayed fluid-filled cavities, a finding that could enhance future diagnostic strategies.
Article Synopsis
- - This study compares how imaging features of COVID-19 and influenza change over time using CT scans from critically ill patients, focusing on patterns like ground glass opacity and consolidation.
- - Results show that while COVID-19 patients have high lung involvement for over 14 days and shift from ground glass opacities to consolidation, influenza patients show more early consolidation and less long-term lung damage.
- - Key imaging indicators, such as pleural effusion for influenza and ground glass opacities for COVID-19, can help distinguish between the two diseases, especially when lab tests are delayed.
Background: High-risk Pulmonary Embolism (PE) has an ominous prognosis and requires emergent reperfusion therapy, primarily systemic thrombolysis (ST). In deteriorating patients or with contraindications to ST, Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) may be life-saving, as supported by several retrospective studies. However, due to the heterogeneous clinical presentation (refractory shock, resuscitated cardiac arrest (CA) or refractory CA), the real impact of VA-ECMO in high-risk PE remains to be fully determined.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHepatocellular adenomas (HA) are rare benign liver tumors known to affect mainly women of reproductive age taking oral contraception. They can be complicated by hemorrhage or malignant transformation to hepatocellular carcinoma, especially when the size of the lesion exceeds 5 cm. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific tool for the non-invasive characterization of HA.
