Real-world impact of high-pitch helical CT on radiation exposure and image quality in infants being evaluated for cardiothoracic pathologies.
Pediatr Radiol
December 2024
Department of Radiology, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, USA.
Background: Evaluation of cardiothoracic pathologies is a common indication for computed tomography (CT) in infants. However, CT is fraught with challenges specific to the patient population, such as increased sensitivity to radiation and inability to remain stationary during imaging.
Objective: This study investigates potential advantages of a high-pitch helical CT protocol for infants with cardiothoracic pathologies.
Unraveling Comorbidities Contribution to Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction and Heart Failure.

Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), Madrid, Spain (M.V.-O., M.L.-O., B.C.-O., D.J.-C., L.S., F.S.-C., A.A., R.C.-Á., E.C., J.V., P.G.-P., D.P.-F., E.L.-P.).
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major public health problem characterized by multiple simultaneous comorbidities whose specific contribution is challenging to disentangle in humans, leading to a generalized therapeutic approach that may not account for the underlying pathology.
Methods: We followed distinct mouse models of major HFpEF comorbidities for 2.5 years to unveil their specific contribution to the syndrome.
NON-INVASIVE METHOD OF MONITORING INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE FOR THE EVALUATION OF HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY.
Arq Gastroenterol
November 2024
Faculdade de Medicina de São José do Rio Preto, Departamento de Cardiologia e Cirurgia Cardiovascular, São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo , Brasil.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new non-invasive method for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with liver diseases and hepatic encephalopathy (HE), aiming to provide an alternative to invasive techniques.
- It uses a specific equipment, Brain4Care® BWS, to analyze ICP pulse morphology and correlates it with clinical signs of HE, focusing on key peaks that indicate intracranial compliance.
- Results show significant differences in ICP patterns between patients with and without HE, highlighting the method's potential for effective monitoring and assessment in clinical settings.

Article Synopsis
- * A case is presented of a patient who arrived at the emergency department with only worsening pitting edema and subtle physical examination findings, ultimately leading to the discovery of severe heart conditions linked to infective endocarditis.
- * The case highlights the significance of thorough physical examinations and clinical judgment, emphasizing the role of tubular adenomas in causing bacteremia and the necessity for a more comprehensive approach in patient assessment.
