Two cases of elevated tryptase in abdominal aortic aneurysm.
DISCUSSION: The elevated tryptase levels were correlated to abdominal aneurysm in both patients. In fact, post-surgery tryptase levels dramatically decreased. These two cases demonstrate that high tryptase levels in subjects with a history of hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis can be associated to undiagnosed aneurysmatic disease.

Severe drug‐induced anaphylaxis: analysis of 333 cases recorded by the Allergy Vigilance Network from 2002 to 2010
ConclusionsThree hundred and thirty‐three case reports provided data on drugs involved in severe anaphylaxis. The efficacy of skin tests and poor use of laboratory tests are underlined. Further progress may depend on OCs.

New insight into the assessment of asthma using xenon ventilation computed tomography.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that xenon ventilation CT can be used as a new method to assess ventilation abnormalities in asthma, and these ventilation abnormalities can be used as novel parameters that reflect the status of asthma control and symptom severity.

Estimation of sensitivity and specificity of brain magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography in the diagnosis of olfactory dysfunction after head traumas.
CONCLUSION: According to our study, both brain MRI and SPECT have high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of traumatic anosmia, although brain SPECT is slightly superior to MRI. If the two techniques are applied together, the accuracy will be increased. PMID: 24119604 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Schwannomas of the sinonasal tract and anterior skull base: A systematic review of 94 cases.
CONCLUSION: ASB and sinonasal schwannomas are rare lesions and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ASB masses involving the cribriform plate with sinonasal extension. Gross total resection of these lesions should be considered the goal of operative management. PMID: 24717879 [PubMed - in process]

Regional and socioeconomic disparities in emergency department use of radiographic imaging for acute pediatric sinusitis.
CONCLUSION: The use of ED imaging in APS is appropriately associated with factors known to be associated with APS complications. However, additional disparities with respect to regional and socioeconomic factors exist. Interventions to eliminate these health care disparities in use of imaging resources may lead to quality improvement in care and outcomes for APS. PMID: 24717874 [PubMed - in process]

Cardiac and Muscular Involvement in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: Noninvasive Diagnostic Assessment and the Role of Cardiovascular and Skeletal Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Abstract Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are rare autoimmune diseases and include dermatomyositis, polymyositis, necrotizing myopathy and inclusion body myositis; they are characterized by inflammation of skeletal muscle and other internal organs and may potentially lead to irreversible damage and death. Only a small percentage of IIM has clinically overt cardiac disease; however, heart involvement is one of the leading causes of death and therefore, early detection remains a challenge. Biochemical markers and non-invasive methods such as the electrocardiogram and echocardiography have a role in diagnosi...

Utility of apparent diffusion coefficient in characterization of different sinonasal pathologies.
CONCLUSION: DW-MRI did not add significantly to the information gained from conventional MRI. It should be considered complimentary only to standard MRI in uncertain cases when malignancy is still a concern. PMID: 25198015 [PubMed - in process]

A case of eosinophilic fasciitis presenting as pitting edema of the lower extremities.
We report a 19-year-old female who presented with pitting edema in both lower extremities. She had a history of excessive physical activity before her symptoms developed. Physical examination revealed 2+ pitting edema in both lower legs. She complained of mild pain in both knee joints and feet, with no tenderness or heating sensations. Laboratory results were unremarkable except for severe eosinophilia. Parasite infection, venous thrombosis, and cardiac and renal problems were excluded. A magnetic resonance imaging study of both lower extremities revealed increased signal intensity in the subcutaneous lesions, consistent w...

MRI reveals edema in larynx (but not in brain) during anaphylactic hypotension in anesthetized rats.
CONCLUSION: Edema was detected using the MRI technique in the larynx during rat anaphylaxis, but not in the brain. PMID: 24179686 [PubMed]

The brain and asthma: what are the linkages?.
Authors: Busse WW Abstract Stress has been associated as an important contributor to asthma in some patients. The mechanisms, however, which underlie this relationship remain unclear. In this review, the role of stress will be examined in relationship to the development of airway inflammation. As will be discussed, stress may not cause inflammation but enhances its expression when it develops to a second signal. In addition, recent studies using function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that specific circuits in the brain, i.e., anterior cingulate cortex and insula, are activated in relationship and int...

Cardiovascular involvement in Pediatric Systemic Autoimmune Diseases. The emerging role of noninvasive cardiovascular imaging.
Abstract Cardiac involvement in pediatric systemic autoimmune diseases has a wide spectrum of presentation ranging from asymptomatic to severe clinically overt involvement. Coronary artery disease, pericardial, myocardial, valvular and rythm disturbances are the most common causes of heart lesion in pediatric systemic autoimmune diseases and cannot be explained only by the traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, chronic inflammation has been considered as an additive causative factor of cardiac disease in these patients. Rheumatic fever, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, anky...
