Jugular Foramen Paragangliomas
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;49:201-229. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-42398-7_10.ABSTRACTParagangliomas are the most common tumors at jugular foramen and pose a great surgical challenge. Careful clinical history and physical examination must be performed to adequately evaluate neurological deficits and its chronologic evolution, also to delineate an overview of the patient performance status. Complete imaging evaluation including MRI and CT scans should be performed, and angiography is a must to depict tumor blood supply and sigmoid sinus/internal jugular vein patency. Screening for multifocal paragangliomas is advisable, with...

The Diagnostic Value of the Modified STdmax/MET Criterion in Treadmill Exercise Electrocardiographic Test for Coronary Artery Disease in an Aged Population
CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of the novel modified diagnostic criterion, STdmax/MET, significantly enhances the diagnostic value of treadmill EET for detecting CAD in elderly patients. The adoption of this modified criterion could potentially improve clinical outcomes by facilitating more accurate and timely diagnosis of CAD in this high-risk group.PMID:38702161 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)
