Application value of 3D pCASL in early assessment of potential radiation encephalopathy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that 3D pCASL scan at month 3 can reflect blood flow perfusion differences in NPC patients after IMRT and can accurately assess the possibility of REP at early stage. Enhanced areas have a higher probability of REP than the surrounding areas.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: There is few magnetic resonance angiography studies used to evaluate arterial circulation on its application on potential REP after radiotherapy for NPC. In our study, we evaluate the application value of 3D pCASL in the early assessment of potential REP in patients with NPC after radiotherapy. The study was to provide a...

Management of internal carotid artery injury during trans-sphenoidal surgery: A case series and suggestion for optimal management
CONCLUSIONS: Prompt control of bleeding, endovascular management of the injured ICA, and the consideration of revascularization surgery based on collateral flow may prevent catastrophic neurologic sequelae.PMID:35364296 | DOI:10.1016/j.wneu.2022.03.111

Radiation optic neuropathy diagnosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with radiation encephalopathy
CONCLUSIONS: OCTA may be useful for diagnosing RON in male NPC patients with RE following radiotherapy. Reduced FT3 and foveal VD in SVP may be sensitive in screening RON in these patients.PMID:35285300 | DOI:10.1177/11206721221085834

Hemoptysis: Evaluation and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2022 Feb 1;105(2):144-151.ABSTRACTHemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the lower respiratory tract, usually from bronchial arteries. The most common causes are acute respiratory infections, cancer, bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. No cause is identified in 20% to 50% of cases. Hemoptysis must be differentiated from pseudohemoptysis, which is blood that originates from nasopharyngeal or gastrointestinal sources. The initial evaluation includes determining the severity of bleeding and stability of the patient and may require bronchoscopy for airway protection. Mild hemopty...
