 | Objectives The study sought to prospectively compare patient outcome after stress real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) versus conventional stress echo (CSE),where contrast is used to optimize wall motion (WM) analysis. Background Myocardial perfusion imaging with RTMCE may improve the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD),and predict patient outcome. Methods Patients with intermediate [...] After brief training in mindfulness meditation,specific brain changes that correlate with reduced anxiety are visible on imaging,new research shows. Medscape Medical News Medscape Internal Medicine Headlines Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a revolutionary technique that is an important part of the standard of care for refractory heart failure in patients with cardiomyopathy and conduction delay. Because of its effect on the natural history of cardiomyopathy in the presence of interventricular conduction delay,CRT is now routinely used in patients whose heart [...] Abstract:Objective:To examine the interobserver reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs of osteomyelitis in complex chronic pressure ulcers in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design:Retrospective review study.Setting:Specialist SCI rehabilitation center.Participants:Adult patients with SCI and pressure ulceration investigated with MRI.Interventions:Analysis of MRI examinations and clinical records collected over a 4-year [...] Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) Alexandra N Colebatch,Christopher John Edwards,Mikkel Ostergaard,Desiree van der Heijde,Peter V Balint,Maria-Antonietta D”Agostino,Kristina Forslind,Walter Grassi,Espen A Haavardsholm,Glenn Haugeberg,Anne-Grethe Jurik,Robert BM Landewe,Esperanza Naredo,Philip J O”Connor,Ben Ostendorf,Kristina Potocki,Wolfgang A Schmidt,Josef S Smolen,Sekib Sokolovic,Iain Watt,Philip G ConaghanJun 1,2013;[...] Nature Reviews Rheumatology 9,320 (2013). doi:10.1038/nrrheum.2013.65 The knees of patients with inflammatory arthritis (n = 39) or severe osteoarthritis (n = 72) were examined using colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS),and synovial fluid white blood cell count was used to confirm inflammatory status. Patients with inflammatory arthritis had Nature Reviews Rheumatology –[...] SM Lawrie,SS AbukmeilFeb 1,1998;172:110-120REVIEW ARTICLES Br J Psychiatry:Most-Cited Full-Text Articles Nature Reviews Rheumatology 9,259 (2013). doi:10.1038/nrrheum.2013.50 An obstacle to the replacement of plain radiography with MRI in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical trials is that,unlike radiography scores,MRI scoring methods tend not to include cartilage loss. In comparing radiographic and MRI changes in 27 patients between baseline and 24 weeks during [...] Abstract:Chronic patients require ongoing care that results in repeated imaging and exposure to ionizing radiation for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This is of concern due to the long-term effects of radiation exposure,namely the association between radiation and increased cancer risk. In this study,the scientific literature on cumulated dose of radiation accrued [...] |
