Non-Invasive Measurement of Systemic Haemodynamics by Finometry in Patients with Cirrhosis
Kowalski and Abelmann originally described the hyperdynamic circulation associated with cirrhosis in 1953, which is characterised by an increased cardiac output, heart rate, and stroke volume and reduced peripheral vascular resistance [1]. The hyperdynamic circulation of cirrhosis is characterised by increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance being independently associa...
متن کاملPrediction of oesophageal varices in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by non-invasive markers
INTRODUCTION Preliminary data suggested that non-invasive methods could be useful to assess presence of oesophageal varices (OV) in liver cirrhosis. The primary objectives were to investigate non-invasive markers for diagnosing and grading OV in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included a total of 106 consecutive treatment-naive patients with primary bi...
متن کاملNon-invasive diagnosis of esophageal varices after Baveno VI.
A major complication of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is the development of esophageal varices with the associated risk of variceal bleeding. Hence, the Baveno consensus on portal hypertension in its first five editions had recommended surveillance with periodic upper endoscopies in these patients to identify in a timely fashion the development of esophageal varices and initiat...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Determination of Blood Glucose Levels by Optical Waveguide
Objective: Today, there are various non-invasive techniques available for the determination of blood glucose levels. In this study, the level of blood glucose was determined by developing a new device using near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, glass optical waveguide, and the phenomenon of evanescent waves. Materials and Methods: The body's interstitial fluid has made possible the development of ne...
متن کاملInvasive or non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnosis?
About 40 years ago, invasive prenatal diagnosis techniques were introduced in obstetrics. Initially, amniocentesis was performed followed by placentacentesis, fetoscopy, fetal blood sampling (FBS), and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). These procedures, while invading the uterine environment, have made it possible to proceed with the retrieval of biological tissue of fetal origin for analysis an...
