Article Synopsis

  • This document outlines a consensus for using cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) in guiding interventions for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) issues in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
  • It includes definitions of RVOT dysfunction as identified through various imaging techniques and reviews current guidelines on when to intervene.
  • The document also proposes standardized recommendations for acquiring CCT scans and reporting results before surgeries or transcatheter procedures for pulmonary valve replacement.

Article Abstract

This consensus document for the performance of cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) to guide intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital disease (CHD) was developed collaboratively by pediatric and adult interventionalists, surgeons and cardiac imagers with expertise specific to this patient subset. The document summarizes definitions of RVOT dysfunction as assessed by multi-modality imaging techniques and reviews existing consensus statements and guideline documents pertaining to indications for intervention. In the context of this background information, recommendations for CCT scan acquisition and a standardized approach for reporting prior to surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement are proposed and presented. It is the first collaboration for CHD patients and encompasses imaging and reporting recommendations prior to both surgical and percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia diagnosed through post-ablation liver tumor biopsy.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), also known as hepatic pseudolymphoma, is a rare benign condition that predominantly affects middle-aged-to-elderly women and is often associated with autoimmune disorders. The imaging features of hepatic RLH frequently mimic those of malignant hepatic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma, or metastatic liver tumors, making its diagnosis based solely on imaging modalities challenging, often leading to unnecessary surgical resection. However, the optimal diagnostic strategy for hepatic RLH remains controversial.

Rationale And Objectives: This study systematically evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven and conventional radiomics models in detecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) through meta-analytical approaches. Furthermore, it investigates their potential synergistic value with the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) and assesses clinical translation prospects.

Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Systemic amyloidosis is a complex disorder, making early and accurate diagnosis challenging. The most common types are associated with misfolded transthyretin or immunoglobulin light chains, where cardiac and renal amyloidosis portend the worst prognosis. Peptide p5+14 can bind all types of amyloid via multivalent electrostatic interactions.

Stage-Dependent Effects of Moderate Treadmill Exercise on Cartilage Preservation and Subchondral Bone Remodeling in Mouse Osteoarthritis Progression.

Objective: Exercise is widely advocated for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment; however, its effectiveness across disease stages, particularly in advanced OA, remains inconclusive. This study assessed the impact of treadmill exercise at distinct OA stages to determine optimal intervention timing.

Methods: Following validation of a moderate treadmill protocol, 96 male C57BL/6J mice underwent destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery on the right knee and sham surgery on the left.
