Partial displacement of epidural catheter after patient position change: A case report.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
Epidural catheter migration is a well-known cause of failed anesthesia and complications. One of the factors that affect catheter movement is when patients change their position after skin fixation. We report a case of an epidural catheter placed wit...

Selection of peripheral intravenous catheters with 24-gauge side-holes versus those with 22-gauge end-hole for MDCT: A prospective randomized study.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To compare the 24-gauge side-holes catheter and conventional 22-gauge end-hole catheter in terms of safety, injection pressure, and contrast enhancement on multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT).

Non-ionic iodinated contrast media related immediate reactions: A mechanism study of 27 patients.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)
The underlying mechanism of non-ionic iodinated contrast media-related immediate reactions was evaluated in this study. Patients presenting at least grade II immediate reactions after non-ionic iodinated contrast media injection were enrolled. Basoph...

Artificial Neural Networks approach to pharmacokinetic model selection in DCE-MRI studies.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: In pharmacokinetic analysis of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI data, a descriptive physiological model should be selected properly out of a set of candidate models. Classical techniques suggested for this purpose suffer from issues like comput...

Feasibility of Antegrade Contrast-enhanced US Nephrostograms to Evaluate Ureteral Patency.

Radiology
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of contrast material-enhanced ulrasonographic (US) nephrostograms to assess ureteral patency after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in this proof-of-concept study. Materials and Methods For this HIPAA-complia...

RenalGuard system in high-risk patients for contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: High urine flow rate (UFR) has been suggested as a target for effective prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The RenalGuard therapy (saline infusion plus furosemide controlled by the RenalGuard system) facilitates ...

In-Vivo Imaging of Cell Migration Using Contrast Enhanced MRI and SVM Based Post-Processing.

PloS one
The migration of cells within a living organism can be observed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with iron oxide nanoparticles as an intracellular contrast agent. This method, however, suffers from low sensitivity and specificty. ...

Low mechanical index contrast mode versus high mechanical index contrast mode: which is a more sensitive method for detecting Sonazoid microbubbles in the liver of normal subjects?

Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001)
PURPOSE: Using the low mechanical index (MI) contrast mode and the high MI contrast mode of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, we evaluated which method is more sensitive for detecting Sonazoid microbubbles in the liver of normal subjects.
