MIBI perfusion imaging is widely available and offers a radionuclear imaging technique for diagnosing this condition. Although the results are not identical with those from pressure monitoring, MIBI may offer a useful screening test for this condition.
متن کاملTwo-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملResults of compartment decompression in chronic forearm compartment syndrome: six case presentations.
BACKGROUND There are few reports concerning chronic compartment syndrome producing symptoms in the forearm, although in the lower limb this is a well recognised condition. The objective was to demonstrate that chronic compartment syndrome is a cause of exercise induced forearm pain and transient upper limb dysfunction and that forearm compartment decompression can reliably relieve the associate...
متن کاملThe relationship between intracompartment pressure with symptoms of compartment syndrome and the level of creatine phosphokinase in limb trauma
Background: Acute compartment syndrome is considered a debilitating complication of limb trauma. Early detection of this compartment syndrome helps us in the early initiation of treatment which will result in preventing its subsequent complications reported in these cases. Methods: This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients with direct trauma to extremities, who were refer...
متن کاملTwo Case Reports of Netherton Syndrome: Hair Shaft Examination Is Known As a Diagnostic Test
Background: Netherton syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder consisting of ichthyosiform dermatosis, hair shaft abnormalities and an atopic diathesis that presents as widespread erythematous skin. The aim of these reports is emphasis on the importance of the examination of hair as a diagnose route. Case presentation: Case 1: A 6 months old boy with respiratory distress and severe eryth...
