We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Objectives: Study aims were to assess the impact of co-incident lower extremity (LE) deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on clinical outcomes of pulmonary embolism (PE) including venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and mortality.

Methods: Consecutive patients with confirmed acute symptomatic or incidental PE (March 1, 2013 - June 30, 2021) who underwent ultrasound imaging were divided into two groups depending on the presence or absence of LE DVT. Patients were followed prospectively for VTE recurrence, bleeding, and all-cause mortality.

Article Synopsis
  • Several laboratory markers from a complete blood count (CBC) have been suggested as possible indicators for the risk of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but evidence about this link is limited and conflicting.
  • The study involved 295 CVT patients and 341 healthy controls, revealing that CVT patients had higher red cell distribution width (RDW) and lower counts of red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit compared to healthy individuals.
  • It was found that female gender, smoking, and higher hematocrit levels were linked to a greater risk of idiopathic CVT (iCVT), suggesting that some CBC parameters could help identify CVT risk and differentiate between types of CVT, highlighting the need

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the optimal timing for surgery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its effect on inflammatory cytokine levels.
  • It involved 82 TBI patients with depressed skull fractures, analyzing pre-and postoperative serum samples using a specialized assay to measure cytokine levels.
  • Results indicated that surgeries performed after 48 hours post-injury were associated with significantly higher TNF-α levels, while factors like post-traumatic seizures and neurological deficits influenced cytokine responses.
