A classical "watershed" infarction pattern on brain scintigraphy was demonstrated in a seven-year-old black girl with sickle cell disease. Computed tomography (CT) showed minimal abnormalities compared to the characteristic findings on the radionuclide image.

Purpose: This study examined the occurrence and MRI characteristics of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and suspected term hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII).
Methods: A retrospective review of brain MRI scans was conducted on children with CP and suspected term HII in South Africa.
Results: Out of 1620 children with CP included in the study, 15 (0.

Background: Veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly used for patients with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, or heart failure and is a life-saving technique. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination in patients on ECMO presents certain challenges. Due to the dual circulation characteristics of blood flow in ECMO patients, vascular imaging and interpretation can be difficult and may even present pitfalls.

Children requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or cardiac surgery often undergo cervical cannulation or carotid artery clamping, which can interrupt cerebral circulation. Inadequate collateral flow through the circle of Willis (CoW) may lead to cerebral ischaemia within the vascular territory and/or watershed regions. Pre-cannulation survey of the CoW using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound may be performed to predict and plan neuroprotection.

Carotid artery stenosis is the main cause of cerebral watershed infarction (CWI). In recent years, increasing attention has been given to treating this condition. The present study aimed to investigate how Verteporfin-eluting stent (VPES) modulates the YAP signaling pathway to inhibit restenosis of the carotid artery and alleviate CWI.

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers (including angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors), beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor blockers remain the mainstay of pharmacotherapy for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, despite the use of guideline-directed medical therapy, the mortality from HFrEF remains high.
