The Relationship

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and troponin I levels in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism. Method: The first emergency department admission data of 70 patients hospitalized in the Chest Diseases Department between January 2016 and December 2018 with the diagnosis of non-massive and sub-massive pulmonary thromboembolism were retrospectively reviewed. Data concerning complete blood count, levels of d-dimer, and troponin I, thorax computed tomography angiography and bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasonography were obtained. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.1±16.5 years. The female/male ratio was 32 (45.7%) / 38 (54.3%). Troponin I values were 0.027±0.038 ng/mL, and 0.062±0.143 ng/mL in patients with filling defects in the unilateral, and bilateral pulmonary arteries, in thoracic computed tomography angiography respectively. Troponin I elevation was detected in 2 of 25 patients with unilateral, and in 15 of 45 patients with bilateral filling defects. The mean neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios were 4.01±2.51 in patients with unilateral, and 4.73±5.81 in patients with bilateral filling defects. There was no correlation between troponin 1 and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. Conclusion: Mean values for troponin 1 levels were higher in pulmonary thromboembolism patients with bilateral pulmonary artery filling defects when compared with those with unilateral pulmonary artery filling defects. However, there was no significant relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and troponin I positivity in non-massive and sub-massive pulmonary thromboembolism patients.

The mid-aortic syndrome is an uncommon clinical condition characterized by severe narrowing of the descending aorta, usually with involvement of its renal and visceral branches, presenting with uncontrollably elevated blood pressures of the upper body, renal and cardiac failure, intestinal ischemia, encephalopathy symptoms and claudication of the lower limbs, although clinical presentation is variable. In this article we report the case of an eleven-year-old patient with the initial diagnosis of a mid-aortic syndrome and present the computed tomography angiography pictures and reconstructions before and after surgical therapy.

Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Background: In evaluation of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage CT angiography (CTA) has 97-98% sensitivity and near 100% specificity. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the CTA findings of CT positive non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methodology: This is an observational cross sectional study performed in Neurology department of National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital, Dhaka over one year period (January 2019 to December 2019). Total 87 CT positive subarachnoid hemorrhage cases were purposively included in this study. All CT positive patients underwent CTA of Cerebral vessels for further evaluation. The angiography were evaluated by competent neuro-radiologists blinded about the study. Result: Among 87 patients, 40.2% were male and 59.8% were female. The average age was 53.33±11.1 years. Among the studied patient the source of bleeding was found 78.16% aneurysmal and 21.84% non-aneurysmal. 85.30% patients had single aneurysm and 14.70% had multiple aneurysm. The highest number of patient had Acom aneurysm (41.17%) followed by MCA (22.05%), ICA (13.23%), ACA (7.35%) and vertebral artery (1.14%) in order of frequency. Among the multiple aneurysm group most of the patients had combination of Acom, MCA and ICA aneurysm. Conclusion: From this study, we can conclude that CTA can be used as the primary diagnostic tool in evaluation of spontaneous SAH.
