Abstract: BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether indices of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GMPS) could be useful to predict prognosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with normal perfusion defect scores.MethodsOne… read more here.

Abstract: Loss of cerebral autoregulation in normal perfusion pressure breakthrough (NPPB) phenomenon has been reported in other Central Nervous System diseases such as neonatal intraventricular haemorrhage. Several studies have demonstrated that low-dose indomethacin prevents this latter… read more here.

Abstract: A normal myocardial perfusion [single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] (MPS) is consistent with a low probability of haemodynamically relevant coronary stenosis, an excellent prognosis, and a warranty period of up to 2 years. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2021-018490
Abstract: Background Proper identification of infarct extent is crucial for thrombectomy and prognostication. We sought to study the frequency and topographic aspects of those cases in which CT perfusion (CTP) misses a core lesion that is… read more here.
