Prenatal diagnosis of omphalocele and gastroschisis is critical in the management of the pregnancy, affording patients the option of termination. This study aims to evaluate the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcomes of omphalocele and gastroschisis cases.The cases of gastroschisis and omphalocele diagnosed prenatally and followed up at our university were evaluated retrospectively between January 2019 and January 2022. Maternal demographic and clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes were compared between the cases.This study evaluated 42 omphalocele and nine gastroschisis cases. All gastroschisis cases were isolated (p = .001). Additional anomalies were present in 61.9% of omphalocele cases. While two patients with gastroschisis refused the invasive procedure, the genetic results of the others were normal. The karyotype was abnormal in 42.9% of omphalocele cases (p = .008). Half of the omphalocele cases were terminated, and 38.1% (n = 8) of the terminated omphalocele cases were trisomy 18. The coexistence of multiple system anomalies and cystic hygroma was high in the terminated cases. In all cases of gastroschisis, only the intestines protruded from the abdominal wall into the amniotic fluid. The number of survivors of omphalocele was 23.8%. The median hospital stay was 25 and 14 days for gastroschisis and omphalocele, respectively.Prenatal diagnosis of omphalocele and gastroschisis is critical in pregnancy management. The presence of associated anomalies determines the prognosis of omphalocele and gastroschisis.","PeriodicalId":29898,"journal":{"name":"Sonography","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139230135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk of cardiovascular disease is known to be raised in FMS. Determination of carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) is essential for the early detection of cardiovascular disease risk. In this study, we aimed to investigate how FMS affects CIMT and its relationship with disease duration.This study was planned prospectively and included 20 female FMS patients and 20 healthy female controls. Detailed medical histories were obtained. Persons with a known chronic disease (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, thyroid function disorder, rheumatic disease, etc.), known atherosclerotic condition, body mass index >30 and smokers were excluded. Laboratory values of FMS patients and the control group in the last 3 months were recorded. The patients' and control groups' right and left common carotid arteries were imaged with ultrasonography.There was no significant difference in laboratory values (although creatinine was different, it was within the normal range in both groups). The mean right common carotid artery intima‐media thickness was 0.5 (±0.07) mm in the patient group and 0.43 (±0.05) mm in the control group (p = .005). The mean left common carotid artery intima‐media thickness was 0.5 (±0.06) mm in the patient group and 0.43 (±0.05) mm in the control group (p = .001).

Allwood","doi":"10.1002/sono.12382","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/sono.12382","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Introduction Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic disease characterised by progressive fibrofatty tissue replacement of the myocardium. Several arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) phenotypes are now recognised, including right‐dominant, biventricular, and left‐dominant variants, which led to the development of the 2020 International criteria (Padua criteria). Raising awareness of these variants is crucial as their clinical entity can be concealed. This is particularly important in the athletic population. Exercise can promote the development of the phenotype and accelerate disease progression, resulting in left ventricular (LV) involvement and systolic dysfunction, which can cause ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Case Description A late adolescent male was escorted by paramedics to an emergency department following a medium‐speed motor vehicle accident. A multimodality approach was implemented involving a 12‐lead electrocardiogram (ECG), transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. An unknown cardiomyopathy was revealed with diagnostic clues suggesting biventricular ACM in a recreational soccer player, when using the Padua criteria. Conclusion ACM should be considered in the evaluation of an unexplained cardiomyopathy presenting with possible syncopal events. This case describes the clinical features of an ACM patient, emphasising the utility of ECG, ECHO and CMR in determining biventricular involvement. CMR is a powerful tool for the diagnosis of ACM and the identification of myocardial fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The use of 12‐lead ECG and 2‐dimensional (2D) strain imaging may also raise suspicion of biventricular phenotypes and predict LV involvement with significant myocardial fibrosis.","PeriodicalId":29898,"journal":{"name":"Sonography","volume":"448 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134908882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

STE examination has demonstrated reversible sub-clinical myocardial impairment of patients with only mild/moderate COVID-19 symptoms.4 This case describes a patient who suffered myocardial impairment following COVID-19 infection, whilst undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Current guidelines recommend cardioprotective therapy with potential cessation of chemotherapy if significant myocardial impairment is observed during treatment.5 A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with right sided Grade 2 invasive breast carcinoma, no special type (NST), oestrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR) negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive, in April 2021. She had received adjuvant chemotherapy with 4 cycles of anthracycline, 12 cycles of Paclitaxel, and 2 cycles of Trastuzamab chemotherapies, to be followed by bilateral mastectomy, adjuvant radiation, and on-going Trastuzumab. Prior to the initiation of chemotherapy (May, 2021), a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) demonstrated normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function, with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 64% with a global longitudinal strain (GLS) of −21.8% (Figure 1A). She had routine cardiac surveillance as is clinical practice at our centre with a repeat TTE (August, 2021) after anthracycline therapy and prior to commencement of Trastuzamab (Figure 1B). This demonstrated LVEF of 59% with GLS of −19.9% (9% relative reduction and 1.9% absolute reduction in GLS compared to baseline). As is standard of care, a TTE is performed at 3 monthly intervals after commencement of Trastuzumab. Her next routine 3 monthly TTE (November 2021) demonstrated a further reduction in LVEF to 56% and GLS of −17.9% (relative reduction of 17.9% and absolute reduction of 3.9%) triggering review by a cardiologist (Figure 1C). There was no significant change in blood pressure, heart rate, LV volumes, LA volume or E/e' over this period. At cardiologist review, the patient reported no cardiovascular symptoms, in particular no dyspnoea, fatigue, or pedal oedema. She mentioned that she had COVID-19 infection (although having been vaccinated prior (×2 doses) in late September 2021) and had mild—moderate symptoms of dyspnoea and fatigue for approximately 3 weeks.
