Angle-corrected imaging transcranial doppler sonography versus imaging and nonimaging transcranial doppler sonography in children with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nonimaging transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) and imaging TCD (TCDI) are used for determination of the risk of stroke in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). The purpose was to compare angle-corrected, uncorrected TCDI, and TCD blood flow velocities in children with SCD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 37 children (mean age, 7.8 +/- 3.0 years) without intracrani...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler sonography in fulminant hepatic failure.
UNLABELLED The clinical course of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is often worsened by the presence of cerebral edema and endocranial hypertension. In spite of the multiple studies using Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCDS), few have shown the cerebral blood flow (CBF) pattern among patients with encephalopathy resulting from FHF. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize th...

rely on indirect evidence of nodal metastases. These include nodal enlargement, three or more borderline–sized nodes in a primary drainage pathway, and a nodal morphology showing a change from an elliptical to a spherical shape. The development of accurate radiologic criteria is important since 25% or more of patients presenting with head and neck cancer and no clinically palpable neck disease ...
متن کاملSickle cell disease and transcranial Doppler imaging: inter-hemispheric differences in blood flow Doppler parameters.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE to establish reference values of interhemispheric differences and ratios of blood flow Doppler parameters in the terminal internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, and anterior cerebral artery in children with sickle cell anemia. METHODS fifty-seven out of 74 recruited children (mean age, 7.8 ± 3.4 years; range limits, 3-14 years), who were free of neurological d...
متن کاملCerebral hemodynamic in patients with major β-Thalassemia using transcranial Doppler sonography
Background: β-thalassemia, a severe form of anemia, is an inherited blood disorder characterized by growth retardation, splenomegaly, and bone abnormalities. Complications related to treatment-induced iron overload also affect the quality of life of patients with major β-thalassemia. Some recent studies indicated cerebral hemodynamic disorders and increased risk of stroke in these patients. The...
