The paper gives a clinical example of diagnosing hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. With allowance made for that the tumor occurs rarely (less than 1% of cases of all vascular tumors), the authors provide the clinical example to demonstrate the capabilities of imaging techniques, by applying an integrated approach.
The paper describes a clinical example of the topical diagnosis of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing typical peripheral pulmonary carcinoid. The first stage in its diagnosis was to rule out the production of ACTH by the pituitary gland. The paper presents information on the most common localization of functioning neuroendocrine tumors, as well as a diagnostic algorithm to search for an ectopic focus of the ACTH-secreting tumor that causes hypercorticism. Taking into account that bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors with ectopic hormone production occur rarely (5%), a clinical example is given to demonstrate the capabilities of imaging techniques and standards for their implementation using an integrated approach.
Фибрилляция предсердий (ФП)одно из самых распространенных нарушений ритма сердца, которым страдает 2% взрослого населения [1]. Это состояние увеличивает риск инсульта в 5 раз [1, 2]. До 15-20% всех случаев инсультов связано с ФП [1, 2]. Ишемический инсульт (ИИ) у больных с ФП часто заканчивается смертельным исходом и по сравнению с ИИ, вызванным другими причинами (не ФП), при-водит к наиболее выраженной инвалидизации и чаще рецидивирует [3]. Независимо от формы ФП (пароксизмальная или постоянная) риск развития ИИ в течение года составляет 4,5% [4].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
