“…The most common causes of haemoptysis in our country are mainly tuberculosis (active or its sequelae), bronchiectasis, primary bronchial carcinoma, hematogenous lung abscess, and less frequent etiologist such as chronic pneumonia, bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula due to pulmonary embolism, coronary artery-bronchial artery fistula, and rupture of aortic aneurysm [ 3 ]. Recently, most scholars believe that either primary or metastatic lung cancer is generally supplied by BA, which is the most common and important responsible vessel involved in lung cancer, while the pulmonary artery does not participate in blood supply, and only a few reports can have pulmonary circulation to participate in lung cancer blood supply [ 4 ]. In contrast, intermediate and advanced central lung cancer is a common and frequent disease, and their morbidity and mortality rates are extremely high.…”

We present in this paper an in-depth study and analysis of bronchiectasis haemoptysis by multirow CT tomography and a multifaceted treatment and analysis of the interventions monitored by the scan. Although coronary CT is of great clinical value in the diagnosis and monitoring of coronary artery disease, the potential radiation damage caused by coronary CT should not be underestimated because CT imaging is based on X-rays and the actual effective dose is 5–30 mSv, which is reported in the literature to be high when using conventional imaging modalities for coronary CT. Although there is no direct evidence of a definite causal relationship between X-ray exposure during CT examinations and tumorigenesis, theoretically, even small doses of radiation exposure may pose some potential health risk. Therefore, in clinical practice, coronary CT examinations should be performed in strict compliance with the radiation protection rule “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) recognized by the radiation industry. For longitudinal openings in the range of 0° to 59° and transverse openings in the range of 0° to 44°, the CB2 catheter is significantly more stable than the MIK catheter, and for longitudinal openings in the range of 60° to 119° and transverse openings in the range of 0° to 44°, the CB2 catheter is more stable than the MIK catheter. For longitudinal openings from 0° to 120° and lateral openings from 45° to 90°, there was no significant difference in cannulation stability between the CB2 and MIK catheters. There was a potential tendency for MIK cannulation stability to be higher than CB2 for longitudinal openings in the range of 120° to 180° and lateral openings in the range of 45° to 90°, but there was no significant difference.

“…Based on the so far published studies using CMR in patients with known extracardiac sarcoidosis, the presence of myocardial involvement varies between 20% and 35% [11][12][13][14]. In our study, we detected clinically probable cardiac sarcoidosis based on the presence of LGE in only 6% of the study cohort.…”

Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, which can affect almost any organ. Cardiac involvement determines the prognosis of the affected individuals. Its prevalence in patients with extracardiac sarcoidosis with the absence of cardiac symptoms remains unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides excellent diagnostic accuracy in the detection of heart involvement by sarcoidosis. Aim:We sought to determine the prevalence of cardiac sarcoidosis in asymptomatic individuals with newly diagnosed extracardiac sarcoidosis using CMR. Methods:We prospectively evaluated 55 consecutive patients including 23 women with newly diagnosed extracardiac sarcoidosis who underwent contrast-enhanced CMR and had no symptoms of heart disease. The mean (standard deviation) age of patients was 43 (11) years. The presence of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of non-ischemic etiology on CMR examination was considered diagnostic for cardiac sarcoidosis. Results:In 3 (6%) patients, the LGE pattern consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis was detected. In all patients, preserved left ventricular systolic regional and global function was present, and in none of them, the elevation of blood biomarkers of myocardial injury or overload was found. Conclusions:Our study suggests that the prevalence of cardiac involvement in patients with newly diagnosed extracardiac sarcoidosis and no symptoms of heart disease is very low as assessed by CMR. However, CMR may be considered as part of routine evaluation of patients with extracardiac sarcoidosis due to its higher diagnostic yield in comparison with echocardiography and electrocardiography, respectively.

“…Also, SPECT II results showed larger SDS non-IRA and SDS non-IRABAS medians in patients with culprit LAD: 10 (6.5-14) vs. 6 (4-9); P <0.001 and 7 (3-9) vs. 3 (1-5); P = 0.001 respectively. There was no difference in median SDS nonIRA and median SDS nonIRABAS between patients with and without secondary stenosis in SPECT I: 8 (4-12.5) vs. 9 (5-14); P = 0.45; 6 (2.5-8) vs. 4 (2-8); P = 0.66, respectively, nor in SPECT II: 6 (2.5-12) vs. 7 (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11); P = 0.59; 5 (1.5-7) vs. 4 (2-6); P = 0.64, respectively.…”
