Background: This study aimed to analyze the risk signals of iodinated and gadolinium-based contrast media associated with anaphylaxis.
Research Design And Methods: Data from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) were retrospectively reviewed from January 2004 to September 2022. Disproportionality and Bayesian analyses were used in data mining to screen for suspected anaphylaxis using contrast media.
Results: A total of 1240 reports of anaphylaxis associated with contrast media were identified (464 men, 37.4%). The average age of anaphylaxis associated with iodinated contrast media (ICM) and gadolinium-based contrast media (GBCM) was 56.8 ± 17.2 and 50.9 ± 18.0 years old, respectively ( < .001). Among ICM, iopamidol showed the highest reporting odds ratio (ROR) (29.0), and amidotrizoate showed the lowest ROR (7.4). Among low-osmolality ICM, iopamidol had the highest ROR (29.0), and iopromide had the lowest ROR (8.8). Among the macrocyclic agents, gadoteridol had the highest ROR (37.3), while gadoterate meglumine had the lowest (10.4). Among the linear agents, gadobenate dimeglumine had the highest ROR (28.8), and gadodiamide had the lowest (1.4). The mortality rate in ICM was significantly higher than that in GBCM ( < 0.001).
Conclusions: This study provides clinicians and pharmacists evidence for risk signals of anaphylactic reactions among contrast agents.

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an adverse renal event that occurs following the administration of contrast media for diagnostic procedures or therapeutic angiographic intervention. Nevertheless, there is currently no efficacious and safe agents for the treatment of CIN, except for hydration. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to verify the potential nephroprotective role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in the prevention of CIN.

Using a pediatric-focused lens, this review article briefly summarizes the presentation of several demyelinating and neuroinflammatory diseases using conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences, such as T1-weighted with and without an exogenous gadolinium-based contrast agent, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). These conventional sequences exploit the intrinsic properties of tissue to provide a distinct signal contrast that is useful for evaluating disease features and monitoring treatment responses in patients by characterizing lesion involvement in the central nervous system and tracking temporal features with blood-brain barrier disruption. Illustrative examples are presented for pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis and neuroinflammatory diseases.

Objective: Image-guided diagnosis and treatment of lung lesions is an active area of research. With the growing number of solutions proposed, there is also a growing need to establish a standard for the evaluation of these solutions. Thus, realistic phantom and preclinical environments must be established.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of pericardial T1 mapping as a potential supportive non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameter in the diagnosis of acute pericarditis. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between T1 mapping values in acute pericarditis patients and their demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, clinical parameters, cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac function.
Method: This retrospective study included CMR scans in 35 consecutive patients with acute pericarditis (26 males, 45.
Iodine is a trace element that is required to produce thyroid hormone. Some preoperative skin antiseptics and contrast media that are used in a variety of specialties (eg, cardiovascular, urology) contain iodine. Clinicians and patients may believe that a history of a reaction to shellfish, povidone-iodine, or radiopaque contrast media is an allergy requiring avoidance of all three substances.
