Time to abandon nonionic contrast.
E very year, over 1 0 million Intravascular contrast examinations are performed In the United States. A typical dose of 200 mL of high-osmolality Ionic radiographic contrast costs approximately $8 (e.g. , diatrizoate, iothalmate, and others). In comparIson , low-osmolality nonionic contrast costs up to $ 1 70 for equivalent volumes (e.g. , iopamldol. iohexol. and others). If nonlonic contrast w...
متن کاملExpatriate failure: Time to abandon the concept?
In this article, we review the established understanding of the concept of expatriate failure, discuss its associated problems and present a more sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of the concept. We argue that it might well be time to abandon the concept of expatriate failure altogether and instead draw on the general HR literature to analyse problems related to turnover and perform...
متن کاملAn allergic reaction to intraarterial nonionic contrast material.

A 23-year-old man with epilepsy was referred for cerebral angiography and Wada testing. These were performed for the purpose of language and memory testing before tem...
متن کاملBronchial vasodilatory response to ionic and nonionic contrast media.
It has recently been shown that bronchial arterial injection of conventional contrast medium causes a significant increase in bronchial blood flow (Qbr) and that this response is partially attenuated after infusion of N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA). However, the precise mechanism for this increase in Qbr is unknown. In this study we examined the effect of bronchial arterial injection of conve...
متن کاملPulmonary shunt fraction measurement compared to contrast echocardiography in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia patients: time to abandon the 100% oxygen method?
BACKGROUND The presence of pulmonary right-to-left shunting (RLS) is associated with severe neurological complications from paradoxical embolisation in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and screening is warranted. Pulmonary shunt fraction measurement with the 100% oxygen method can be used for the detection and quantification of functional pulmonary RLS, although transt...
