Relative energy index of microembolic signal can predict malignant microemboli.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Microembolic signals (MES) found on transcranial Doppler range from harmless air bubbles to large, solid, particulate emboli from the heart and large vessels. The presence of MES is not always associated with poor clinical outcome. The purpose of our study was to determine whether the relative energy index of MES measured by power M-mode Doppler can distinguish malignant ...
متن کاملCirculating tumor cells and microemboli can differentiate malignant and benign pulmonary lesions
The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTC) or microemboli (CTM) in the peripheral blood can theoretically anticipate malignancy of solid lesions in a variety of organs. We aimed to preliminarily assess this capability in patients with pulmonary lesions of suspected malignant nature. We used a cell-size filtration method (ScreenCell) and cytomorphometric criteria to detect CTC/CTM in a 3 mL s...
متن کاملCan Body Mass Index Predict the Difficulty of Colonoscopy?
Open Access Colonoscopy has been widely used as a screening modality for colorectal cancer and in the treatment of colon disorders. Generally, colonoscopy is safe, well tolerated, and recognized as a standard diagnostic and treatment method for colon disorders. Cecal intubation (CI) is one of the proposed quality indicators for colonoscopy.

متن کاملMicroembolic signal monitoring of TOAST‑classified cerebral infarction patients.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of microembolic signals (MES) on post‑stroke neurological deficits, stroke recurrence and survival in patients with acute cerebral infarction (CI). Patients with acute CI were enrolled consecutively and classified etiologically into the following 4 subtypes using the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification: ...
