Article Synopsis
- Patients with neuromuscular disorders often need gastrostomy tubes for feeding but face challenges with sedation due to airway control issues, making intubation risky.
- A study reviewed 12 patients who successfully received G-tube placements using only local anesthesia from 2013 to 2019, showing 100% technical success and no major complications.
- The findings suggest that local anesthesia is a safe and viable option for G-tube placement in patients who cannot undergo sedation, alleviating concerns about ventilator dependence.
To establish the optimal detection of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCREB), the performance of four different screening methods has been investigated: stool samples without (A) and with (B) pre-enrichment and rectal swabs without (C) and with (D) pre-enrichment were contrasted. Pre-enrichment approaches (B and D) increased the detection of 3GCREB carriers by 29.4% (20/68 3GCREB carriers only found using pre-enrichment, p < 0.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients who underwent angiography after undergoing contrast-enhanced CT imaging for the evaluation/treatment of traumatic injuries to the abdomen and pelvis between March 2014 and September 2018. Data collection included demographics, pertinent history and physical findings, CT and angiography findings, treatment information, and outcomes.

Materials And Methods: The PubMed database (including articles indexed by MEDLINE) was searched for articles published from 1970 to 2018 describing patients treated with PVE utilizing NBCA to induce hypertrophy of the FLR prior to contralateral hepatic lobe resection. Demographic data, embolization technique, complications of embolization, resultant FLR hypertrophy, and surgical outcomes were obtained when available.
Purpose: To investigate the correlation of non-heme iron content in deep gray matter nuclei as a function of age using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) from both whole-structural and regional perspectives.
Materials And Methods: We studied a group of 174 normal subjects ranging from 20 to 69 years old and measured the magnetic susceptibility of seven subcortical gray matter nuclei. SWI (susceptibility-weighted imaging) phase images were used to generate the susceptibility maps, which were acquired on a 1.
