Approach to acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Hammad Bhatti, Ankur Girdhar, Faisal Usman, James Cury, Abubakr BajwaAnnals of Thoracic Medicine 2013 8(2):71-77Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic interstitial pneumonia with a median survival of 3 years after diagnosis. Acute exacerbation of IPF (AE-IPF) is now identified as a life-threatening complication. It presents as worsening dyspnea with new ground glass opacities superimposed upon a radiographic usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. The prognosis of AE-IPF is poor and treatment strategies lack standardization. In order to rule out any reversible etiology for an a...

Pediatric penetrating neck trauma: Hard signs of injury and selective neck exploration
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that management of penetrating neck trauma in children includes selective neck exploration based on physical examination and the use of CTA in stable patients, similar to current adult recommendations. We did not observe evidence of missed injuries over the study period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic/care management, level IV.

The yield of DMSA renal cortical scintigraphy in pediatric patients with hypertension.
Conclusion: In routine clinical practice, DMSA SPECT scintigraphy can demonstrate renal abnormalities in approximately one-tenth of pediatric patients with hypertension who do not have a known history of urinary tract infection, vesicoureteral reflux, or known secondary cause for hypertension. The prevalence of renal scarring appears to be lower with a more stringent expert imaging review. Future studies may help identify patients for whom performing DMSA scintigraphy will be most informative and help guide decisions regarding further evaluation. Research Support: -

Evidence-based guideline of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) on imaging infection in vascular grafts
CONCLUSION: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the first-line imaging modality in suspected VGEI but nuclear medicine modalities are often needed to confirm or exclude the infection. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) has very high negative predictive value but it should be performed preferably at least 4 months after surgery to avoid false positive results. Radiolabelled white blood cell (WBC) scintigraphy, given its high diagnostic accuracy, can be performed at any time after surgery.PREAMBLE: The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) ...

Evidence for an association between tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy and bronchial asthma: retrospective analysis in a primary care hospital.
CONCLUSION: Prevalence of asthma was significantly higher in patients with TTS compared to epidemiologic data from an age-matched population. Phenotypes of patients developing obstructive ventilatory disease and TTS might share common pathogenic mechanisms beyond the use of bronchodilatators. In addition, we identified other iatrogenic etiologies in patients with TTS. PMID: 25767631 [PubMed]

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome : Challenge for diagnostics and intensive care therapy.
Abstract Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a disease of unclear incidence frequently affecting middle aged women and is usually associated with use of adrenergic or serotoninergic substances. The exclusion of relevant differential diagnoses, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, primary cerebral angiitis, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and carotid artery dissection is critical in terms of time and significance. Thunderclap headache as well as multiple and multilocular vasospasms with direct or indirect angiography without substantial findings in cerebrospinal fluid diagnos...

Original Research: Sickle cell anemia and pediatric strokes: Computational fluid dynamics analysis in the middle cerebral artery
Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) have a high incidence of strokes, and transcranial Doppler (TCD) identifies at-risk patients by measuring blood velocities in large intracerebral arteries; time-averaged mean velocities greater than 200 cm/s confer high stroke risk and warrant therapeutic intervention with blood transfusions. Our objective was to use computational fluid dynamics to alter fluid and artery wall properties, to simulate scenarios causative of significantly elevated arterial blood velocities. Two-dimensional simulations were created and increasing percent stenoses were created in silico, with their locatio...

Pelvic Angiography for Trauma in Children: A Rare but Useful Adjunct
Conclusions Pelvic angiography is a useful treatment option in pediatric patients with pelvic fractures and clinical evidence of ongoing blood loss without other explanation. Contrast extravasation on CT scan alone may not require further intervention.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text

3D Geometric Analysis of the Pediatric Aorta in 3D MRA Follow-Up Images with Application to Aortic Coarctation.
CONCLUSIONS: From the results, we found that our approach is well suited for the quantification of the 3D geometry of the aortic arch from follow-up pediatric 3D MRA image data. In future work, this will enable to investigate the long-term outcome of different surgical and interventional therapies for aortic coarctation. PMID: 27405687 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

SCAI/CCAS/SPA expert consensus statement for anesthesia and sedation practice: Recommendations for patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the pediatric and congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory
Current practice of sedation and anesthesia for patients undergoing pediatric congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory (PCCCL) procedures is known to vary among institutions, a multi‐society expert panel with representatives from the Congenital Heart Disease Council of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) and the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS) was convened to evaluate the types of sedation and personnel necessary for procedures performed in the PCCCL. The goal of this panel was to provide practitioners and institutions performin...

A Previously Healthy Adolescent With Acute Encephalopathy and Decorticate Posturing
A 14-year-old previously healthy female was transferred from a local emergency department after being found unresponsive at home. Parental questioning revealed she had fever and pharyngitis 2 weeks before presentation. Past mental health history was negative, including concern for past or present suicidal ideation/attempts, suspected substance use, or toxic ingestion. In the emergency department, she was orotracheally intubated due to a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3. She was hemodynamically stable and euglycemic. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia. She underwent a noncontrast head computed tomography that was normal and ...

The Hybrid Operative Suite with Intra-operative Biplane Rotational Angiography in Pediatric Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery: Utility and Lessons Learned
Conclusion: The hybrid neuroangiography surgical suite is a safe option for pediatric cer ebrovascular pathologies requiring combined surgical and endovascular intervention. Hybrid cases can be completed within the same anesthesia session and reduces the need for return to the operating room for resection or surveillance angiography. High-quality intra-operative angiography enables diagn ostic confirmation under a single procedure, mitigating risk of morbidity and accelerating recovery. Effective multidisciplinary planning enables pre-operative angiograms to be completed to inform the operative plan immediately prior to definitive resection.
