Detection of pulmonary congestion by chest ultrasound in dialysis patients.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate clinical and echocardiographic correlates of the lung comets score. BACKGROUND Early detection of pulmonary congestion is a fundamental goal for the prevention of congestive heart failure in high-risk patients. METHODS We undertook an inclusive survey by a validated ultrasound (US) technique in a hemodialysis center to estimate the prevalence of p...
متن کاملChest ultrasound and hidden lung congestion in peritoneal dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Chest ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive well-validated technique for estimating extravascular lung water (LW) in patients with heart diseases and in end-stage renal disease. We systematically applied this technique to the whole peritoneal dialysis (PD) population of five dialysis units. METHODS We studied the cross-sectional association between LW, echocardiographic parameters, cli...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Chest radiological features among patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis
Background: Chest x-ray has an important role in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to determine the radiological changes in patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods: In this study, 325 patients with smear positive pulmonary TB was enrolled. The affected lobe or lobes of the left or right lung were recorded. The types of involvement were categorized...
