Sharayah A, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-223530 Description A 65-year-old man, with a medical history of interstitial lung disease and a recently diagnosed lung adenocarcinoma with known metastases to the bone, was brought to the emergency department after an episode of cardiopulmonary arrest and resuscitation by emergency medical services (EMS). The patient had a recent hospi...
BACKGROUND Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography is reported to have prognostic significance in patients after resection of lung adenocarcinoma. However, its relationship with histopathologic features remains unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 205 patients who had undergone surgical resection of primary lung adenocarcinoma (> 1.0 cm) afte...
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) provides an important diagnostic tool that can facilitate the diagnosis of various diffuse lung diseases. BAL fluid can be analyzed to determine white blood cell (WBC) profiles and to detect respiratory pathogens. Although BAL is seldom useful as a "stand-alone" diagnostic test for the diagnosis of diffuse infiltrative lung disease, when combined with clinical data ...
Chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease encompasses a wide variety of disorders that primarily affect the alveoli and lung interstitium; involvement of the airways and the pulmonary vasculature is secondary to the interstitial process. Chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease affects a surprisingly large proportion of the population. A study from New Mexico suggests a prevalence of 81 cases ...
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oral contrast on FDG uptake in the colon and to determine the normal distribution of FDG in the colon. METHODS Sixty patients (30 patients in no contrast group and 30 patients in the received contrast group) underwent FDG-PET/ CT scans. The pattern of FDG uptake was classified into 5 patterns (diffuse, segmental, single-nodular,...
RATIONALE Primary pulmonary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PPL-DLBCL) is rare and its clinical manifestations lack specificity. In this report, we present one case of PPL-DLBCL with complete clinical and imaging data, including uncontrast-enhanced CT, contrast-enhanced CT, and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Previous cases will also be reviewed and summarized. PATIENT CONCERNS A 62-yea...
OBJECTIVE End-stage chronic liver disease (CLD) adversely affects the function of multiple organ systems including the skeletal system. The aim of this study was to assess osseous and nonosseous bone scintigraphy (BS) findings in liver transplant (LT) candidates with end-stage CLD. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated BS findings in 50 consecutive patients with end-stage CLD who were undergoi...
BACKGROUND We report the use of positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-FDG for the diagnosis of carditis in children with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six children aged 6-17 years (seventeen males and nineteen females) with isolated rheumatic significant mitral regurgitation (MR) underwent FDG-PET scanning of the heart after fasting for 6 h within a period ...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of progressive vascular remodeling, characterized by dysregulated growth of pulmonary vascular cells and inflammation. A prevailing view is that abnormal cellular metabolism, notably aerobic glycolysis that increases glucose demand, underlies the pathogenesis of PAH. Increased lung glucose uptake has been reported in animal models. F...
