Pulmonary edema may be classified as increased hydrostatic pressure edema, permeability
edema with diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), permeability edema without DAD, or mixed …

Viability of the cerebral parenchyma is dependent on cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is
usually kept in a very narrow range due to efficient autoregulation processes and can be …

Abdominal US and CT play an important role in the initial management of blunt trauma in
adults. Ultrasound is an excellent method for detection of free intra-abdominal fluid. It is the …

Background and Purpose— Different definitions have been proposed to define the ischemic
penumbra from perfusion-CT (PCT) data, based on parameters and thresholds tested only …

… Statistically significant p values were lower than 0.05. … < 0.001) and showed no statistically
significant difference (p = 0.332) … This was associated with a lower but nonsignificant PRR (p = …

… Bilateral t tests for matched variables did not identify a significant difference between the two
imaging methods (P > .1). Both deconvolution methods were equivalent (P > .1). The choice …

Background and Purpose— Besides classic criteria, cerebral perfusion imaging could
improve patient selection for thrombolytic therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare …

… with a fraction of inspired oxygen of 1.0, Pao 2 was significantly higher in the PEEP group
compared with the control group (457 ± 130 mm Hg versus 315 ± 100 mm Hg, respectively; P …

… significantly increased (P < .001), as well as contrast between gray matter and white matter
after contrast enhancement (P < .001). Mean noise at 80 kVp is not statistically different (P = .…

IMPLICATIONS: Application of positive end-expiratory pressure during the induction of
general anesthesia prevents atelectasis formation. Furthermore, it improves oxygenation and …
