According to research from the National Institutes of Health,“the timing by which inflammation is resolved has a major impact on functional recovery.” Inflammation is an immune response in the body to help fight infection and heal damaged tissue. In the case of a muscle injury, quickly ...

CMR is a multiparametric imaging modality that yields high spatial resolution images that can be acquired in any plane for the assessment of global and regional cardiac function, myocardial perfusion and viability and tissue characterization, all within a single study protocol and without exposure to ...
Cardiac imaging:Advanced imaging techniques, such as a coronary CT (computed tomography) scan, or cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), can provide detailed clues about how strong the heart pumps, how well the heart valve performs, whether there are blockages in the heart, and much more.16...
Fundamentally, cardiac imaging is a straightforward extension of the principles underpinning stationary vessel CT angiography (CTA), though the beating heart introduces some new issues for data acquisition and processing. Although the application of mechanical helical CT for coronary imaging ...
Therefore, the next time you have a patient who presents with acute MI and goes off promptly to the cardiac cath lab, or respiratory distress from moderate to severe asthma, or hypotension that corrects with IV fluids, be sure to document your time in Critical Care — even if this is less...

A limited number of first-generation H1-antihistamines is available in parenteral form for use in anaphylaxis. These drugs frequently cause mild side effects (e.g., somnolence, confusion). Severe adverse effects (e.g., seizures, hypotension, cardiac toxic events) are uncommon. Second-generation...
12 Those with an elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity on cardiac echocardiography were also at increased risk for VTE in the cohort series from Johns Hopkins.10 Upper-extremity VTE also occurs frequently in patients and is often associated with the presence of an indwelling catheter,10,12...
