One year of nuclear cardiology in Europe

Since the introduction of the need to use imaging for the monitoring of cardiomyopathies and particularly ischemic cardiomyopathies in international guidelines, articles reporting the place, the accuracy and the prognostic impact of cardiac imaging have grown exponentially. During 2015, the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging published selected pre-clinical, technical an…

Geriatric Cardiology : A Fellow’s Perspective

Is the term geriatric cardiology redundant? Technically, geriatric cardiology refers to cardiovascular care of patients 65 years of age or older. The United States Census Bureau predicts that by the year 2050, almost 81 million Americans will fall into this demographic. The geriatric population is further broken down into elderly (between ages 75 and 84 years) and very elderly (85 years of ag…

Acute Symptomatic Seizures: A Clinically Oriented Review

Acute symptomatic seizures are seizures closely related to neurological or systemic insults and represent about 40% of all first seizures. Diagnosis may be difficult to perform due to the subjectivity involved in recognizing the severity of insult needed to provoke epileptic seizures or in determining a clear temporal relationship. Appropriate therapeutic management, risk of developing epileps…

Role of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Count Ratio in the Differential Diagnosis b…

Differential diagnosis between pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is often challenging. The neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), a convenient marker of inflammation, has been demonstrated to be a useful biomarker for predicting bacteremia. We investigated the usefulness of the NLR for discriminating pulmonary TB from bacterial CAP in an intermediate…

Prognostic Significance of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Se…

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an easily accessible biological marker that has been reported to represent disease severity. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between NLR and mortality in patients with sepsis.

Correlation between the neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio and bacterial infec…

Parameters for starting antibiotic therapy such as CRP andleukocytosis are considered non-specific. Previous studies have shown the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Count Ratio (NLCR) can serve as the basis of bacterial infection, the level of infection, and the basis of antibiotic therapy. Compared with the Procalcitonin parameter, this NLCR is rapid, an inexpensive and requires no additional sampling

Prevalence of restless legs syndrome and associated factors in an otherwise h…

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sensorimotor disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs. RLS often occurs as a comorbid condition. Besides an increased risk of iron deficiency, blood donors are considered to be generally healthy. Blood donors are therefore an ideal population for studying factors associated with RLS occurrence, herein the role of iron. It is s…
