To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Diffusion Weighted MRI in differentiating malignant from benign liver lesions taking histopathology as gold standard. ⋯ DW MRI scan has high diagnostic accuracy and being accurate in making a diagnosis and differentiation of benign from malignant focal liver lesion would decrease need of invasive modality of histopathology.
-
To investigate the value of the combined test of seven blood coagulation indexes, lipids and platelet agglutination on the evaluation of the hypercoagulable state of blood in parturient women. ⋯ The combined test of seven blood coagulation indexes, lipids and platelet agglutination results in excellent performance in predicting and judging the presence or absence of the hypercoagulable state of blood in parturient women, with the combination of APTT+TT+DD+TG+ADP+AA being the preferred test.
-
To compare the clinical outcomes of InterTAN nail and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. ⋯ InterTAN and PFNA internal fixation have their own advantages in treating patients with intertrochanteric fractures. InterTAN has better postoperative recovery results, while PFNA has less perioperative trauma. Clinically, InterTAN or PFNA should be selected based on the specific conditions of each patient to maximize the therapeutic benefit of each treatment method.
-
To explore the effect of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in combination with ropivacaine on post-operative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture (HF) repair. ⋯ Ropivacaine combined with FICB was associated with improved post-operative outcomes such as lower post-surgery VAS scores, MAP and HR compared to the intravenous injection of parecoxib sodium.
-
To investigate the correlation of serum osteopontin levels with disease severity and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction. ⋯ OPN is involved in the entire pathophysiological process of ACI, and its level can predict the severity of the disease in patients with ACI, and can be used as an important indicator for evaluating their clinical prognosis.
