概括
患有食道扩张的全身性硬化症患者表现出更高的间歇性肺病 (ILD) 严重程度和较差的肺功能. 在HRCT上测量食道直径可以帮助预测这些患者的ILD.
科学领域:
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 肺部病理学 肺部病理学
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 系统性硬化症 (SSc) 患者面临间歇性肺病 (ILD) 和食道功能障碍的风险增加.
- 食道扩张是SSc患者的常见发现,可能与肺部并发症有关.
研究的目的:
- 通过高分辨率计算机断层扫描 (HRCT) 测量食道直径 (ED) 与肺功能之间的相关性.
- 在SSc患者中,评估ED和ILD严重程度之间的关系,用Warrick得分量化,在SSc患者中.
主要方法:
- 在39名SSc患者中,HRCT用于评估ED和沃里克得分.
- 统计分析,包括多变量回归,探索ED,肺功能和ILD之间的关联.
- 在64%的患者中诊断出ILD,在64%的参与者中观察到食道扩张 (>10 mm ED).
主要成果:
- 食道扩张与较高的沃里克分数 (表明更严重的ILD) 和肺功能下降相关.
- 在HRCT上的ED测量预测了69%的SSc患者的ILD存在.
- 发现食道扩张与肺功能恶化和更严重的ILD之间存在显著的关联.
结论:

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
447
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management
383
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...
