Analysis of the relationships between the degree of migraine with right-to-left shunts and changes in white matter lesions and brain structural volume.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Dalian Municipal Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, 116033, Liaoning, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines white matter lesions (WMLs) in migraine patients with right-to-left shunts (RLS), focusing on their location, severity, and impact on brain volume and headaches.
- Researchers analyzed data from 102 migraine sufferers with RLS, including RLS flow and headache impact scores, comparing them with healthy controls.
- Findings indicate WMLs mainly occur in specific brain regions, show no significant correlation with RLS flow, but highlight differences based on headache severity and brain structure between migraines and healthy individuals.
Fetal-to-Neonatal Transition of an Infant with Transposition of the Great Arteries and Intact Ventricular Septum: A Case Report.
Biomed Hub
December 2024
Division of Paediatric Cardiology, Department of Paediatrics, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC), Leiden, The Netherlands.
Introduction: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA), especially with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS), presents unique challenges during fetal-to-neonatal transition, which can contribute to developing persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
Case Presentation: A male newborn with TGA-IVS, delivered via caesarean section, presented with hypoxemia and tachycardia immediately after birth (preductal SpO: 50-60%, post-ductal SpO: 70-75%). Echocardiography revealed a floppy interatrial septum and two interatrial connections with bidirectional shunting.
Prognostic accuracy of Whole Lung Perfusion Blood Volume as a predictor of 28-day Mortality in Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism - A prospective study.
Lung India
January 2025
Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Dhanvantari Nagar, Puducherry, India.
Background: The estimated incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) is around 60-70 cases per 100,000 people annually. The overall mortality rate for massive PE is substantial, ranging from 18% to 65%. We can utilise changes in lung perfusion to stratify patients with PE acutely based on risk, highlighting its diagnostic and prognostic value.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTurner syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality in women that is caused by a partial or complete loss of one X chromosome and is often associated with a spectrum of congenital cardiac abnormalities, including cardiac shunts. A 27-year-old woman with Turner syndrome was also found to have right ventricular dilation, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, and possible atrial septal defect. She was scheduled for elective surgical repair.

Department of Cardiology B, Hospital University Center Ibn Sina, Mohamed V University, Rabat, Morocco.
Article Synopsis
- Infective endocarditis (IE) can occur in adults with ventricular septal defects (VSD), and this case reports a rare instance involving systemic embolisms and aortic pseudoaneurysms.
- A 27-year-old woman with a previously asymptomatic VSD presented with prolonged fever and was found to have staphylococcus infection, heart murmurs, and serious complications like mycotic aneurysms and embolisms.
- The patient received targeted antibiotics and underwent urgent heart surgery, emphasizing the importance of checking for systemic embolism in right ventricle IE and noting that congenital VSD can lead to serious complications from bacteremia.
