Article Abstract

Aim: To establish reference ranges of peripheral-muscle regional oxygen saturation (prSO) and peripheral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (pFTOE) during the first 15 min after birth in stable term neonates.

Methods: Secondary outcome parameters of prospective observational studies in healthy term neonates delivered by Caesarean section were analysed. prSO was measured on the right forearm using the INVOS 5100C monitor. pFTOE was calculated out of prSO and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO). Centile charts (10th-90th) of prSO and pFTOE were defined during the first 15 min after birth.

Results: Three-hundred-five term neonates with a mean gestational age and birth weight of 39.0 ± 0.9 weeks and 3321 ± 454 g, respectively, were included. The 50th centiles of prSO were 39% (minute two), 52% (minute five), 71% (minute 10), and 73% (minute 15). The 50th centiles of pFTOE were 0.529 (minute two), 0.378 (minute five), 0.237 (minute 10), and 0.231 (minute 15).

Conclusion: Reference ranges of prSO and pFTOE were established for term neonates delivered by Caesarean section during the immediate transition after birth. These reference ranges increase knowledge of physiological processes taking place immediately after birth and are necessary for possible future clinical applications.

Background: MRI offers quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and tissue characteristics with T1 mapping. The influence of age, sex, and the potential confounding effects of fat on T1 values in skeletal muscle in healthy adults are insufficiently known.

Purpose: To determine the accuracy and repeatability of a saturation-recovery chemical-shift encoded multiparametric approach (SR-CSE) for quantification of T1 and muscle fat content, and establish normative values (age, sex) from a healthy cohort.

Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can interfere with coagulation analyses, causing erroneous results such as false-positive lupus anticoagulant and false-normal antithrombin, threatening patient safety when overlooked. A test using a prothrombin time quotient method to detect DOAC presence in plasma samples is now commercially available, the MRX PT DOAC, with the result expressed as Clot Time Ratio (CTR).

Objectives: Evaluate the ability of MRX PT DOAC to identify interfering apixaban or rivaroxaban concentrations, identify non-interfering or interfering patient samples, and detect whether a patient is on DOAC treatment.

Background: The internal venous system of the brain is a crucial anatomical landmark during accesses to the third ventricle through the foramen of Monro. Many classifications based on radiological assessment of the system have been developed, but they tend to be descriptive and do not highlight favorable anatomical variants. The aim of our study was to create a system based on morphometric measurements to facilitate preoperative decision-making regarding access to third ventricle tumors.
