background: urinary tract infection in children may cause renal scar formation, which can be prevented by early and appropriate treatment. recent studies showed that single daily injection of gentamycin can produce best effect without increasing the side effects. the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of renal scar formation when new regime (every other day gentamicin injection) used fo...
OBJECTIVE Sudden cardiac death is a major cause of mortality in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Risk stratification remains challenging. Currently, there is growing interest in scar characteristic assessment as a predictor of sudden cardiac death using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Standard analysis methods are lacking. The present study evaluated previously validated method...
BACKGROUND The mechanism of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-induced proarrhythmia remains unknown. We postulated that pacing from a left ventricular (LV) lead positioned on epicardial scar can facilitate re-entrant ventricular tachycardia. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CRT-induced proarrhythmia and LV lead location within scar. METHODS AND RESULTS T...
Pregnancy implantation within the scar of a previous cesarean delivery is one of the rarest locations for an ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis of this condition with the use of ultrasound imaging allows for preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. However, a delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy and significant maternal morbidity. With increasi...
Adults with burn scars are a clinical challenge, and the long term sequelae of burns can have a significant impact on the patient. Scar excision is thought to be the best treatment at present, as it results in a smaller scar. Scar stretching has shown promise in a previous study, as it may allow the surgeon to excise more burn scar. The goal of this study was to determine if good evidence exist...
BACKGROUND The patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) recently emerged as a promising method, reflecting both observer's and patient's opinions in evaluating scar. This tool was shown to be consistent and reliable in burn scar assessment, but it has not been tested in the setting of skin graft scar in skin cancer patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate facial skin graft scar applied to PO...
OBJECTIVES A growing number of studies suggest that the incomplete healing of the CS scar in the uterus increase the risk of uterine dehiscence or rupture during subsequent pregnancies. Thus, the factors that affect wound healing should be evaluated. We aimed to determine whether the morphology of the CS scar in non-pregnant women after one elective CS was affected by the site of the uterine in...
In 2014, about 26 million people were suffering from heart failure. Symptomatic heart failure is treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, 30 % to 50 % do not clinically respond after the implantation of a biventricular pacemaker. To improve the success rate, the quantification of a patient’s scar burden is very important. Lategadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is used ...
Hypertrophic scar is characterized by the overgrowth of fibroblasts and often considered as a kind of benign skin tumor, thus chemotherapeutic drugs have been used to treat scars. In view of the similarity, this study aims to investigate whether drug resistance in cancer that contributes to the failure of chemotherapy also exists in hypertrophic scar, and what is the possible mechanism. Fibrobl...
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can provide unique data on the transmural extent of scar/viability. We assessed the prevalence of dysfunctional myocardium, including partial thickness scar, which could contribute to left ventricular contractile dysfunction in patients with heart failure and ischaemic heart disease who denied angina sympt...
