Published: March 2017

Objective: The purpose of this article is to emphasize the imaging findings encountered in the setting of nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism.

Conclusion: Nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism refers to a spectrum of clinical and radiologic disorders caused by embolization of the pulmonary artery vasculature by various cell types, microorganism, and foreign bodies. Awareness of the imaging and clinical features of the nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism may facilitate prompt diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed haematological oncology patients with severe thrombocytopenia, focusing on factors influencing bleeding and thrombosis risks in those not on anticoagulants.
  • Out of 446 patients, it was found that specific clinical features, such as leukemia presence and central venous catheter use, were linked to bleeding, while histories of thrombosis and certain treatments correlated with thrombosis risk.
  • Logistic regression revealed lymphoma and minimum platelet count as protective against bleeding, while history of thrombosis and catheter use were identified as significant risk factors for thrombosis.

Temporal region of the face is considered the most promising facial region for inducing panfacial effects, playing an increasingly important role in facial contouring and rejuvenation surgeries, which in turn has led to a rapid growth in the demand for aesthetic correction for temporal hollowing. In order to correct this issue and achieve a more youthful appearance, filler injections can be used. Although this procedure is generally safe and is increasingly popular, complications may happen.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a heterogenous group of disorders of clonal hematopoiesis characterized by constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway leading to proliferation of blood cells. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality of patients with MPN. Particularly well-known CVD complications of MPNs are arterial and venous thrombotic events.
