All patients had undergone Doppler ultrasound, showing a 70% or worse carotid stenosis on the symptomatic side. MRA and IAA were done during the same admission. The MRA films were each independently and blindly read for percentage stenosis (signal gap if present) by four observers. The IA ...
This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence-based best practices for CVC use, and to highlight ways to improve the use and feasibility of real-time ultrasound (US)-guided puncture. We will therefore detail new developments that will provide areas for research and improvement of CVC ...
The ultrasound probe (linear probe) should be placed on the temporal area of the eyelid (Fig.4). The probe should be then angled in order to display the optic disc and the entry of the optic nerve into the globe. ONSD is measured 3mm behind the retina, using an electronic caliper and ...
Years later when I had become a consultant radiologist I discovered REK had been taken off my ultrasound list by a senior colleague who felt I wouldn’t want to scan my ‘old boss.’ Some time after that I met him leaving outpatients and he recognised me. ‘You had a lucky escape Prof...
Left image shows xray angiogram of typical ulcerated plaque with stenosis at carotid bifurcation, Right Image shows gross pathology of inside of the vessel with darkened plaque (arrow). In this example, we have an artery in the neck that feeds blood flow to the brain. Plaque rupture and occlu...
By the time you get to this component of your doctor visit, you have gone through the first three components. Your physician will discuss the results with you, establish a diagnosis, and together plan the next step. This plan may involve the intervention of some sort. If your metabolism is...

ultrasound (i.e., transrectal or transvaginal ultrasound, tracked via mechanics or a second robot [67]) or DROP-IN ultrasound (tracked via laparoscopic-video [68]). The most important advantage is the possibility of using in-depth information to improve registration results. However, it is ...
This results in a reduction in the level of circulating pyrimidines and affects their availability for DNA and RNA synthesis, which in turn has an effect on the spreading of immune cells as well as the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Leflunomide inhibits the capacity of T lymphocytes to ...
Results: Four JIA patients appeared to have cIMT above the 94th percentile. A positive correlation between erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) and right carotid artery percentiles was found. Passive smoking increased the cardiovascular risk regardless of JIA. Doubling the daily screen time during the...
