Microbubbles contrast inside the cyst: a pathognomonic sign of mitral valve blood cyst
No full textWe report a case of giant blood cyst originating from the anterior mitral valve leaflet in an 18-year-old white girl. Contrast real-time transthoracic echocardiogram showed the presence of microbubbles inside the cystic cavity during diastole, confirming the presence of blood passage between the ventricular cavity and the cyst lumen and suggesting that this is a pathognomonic sign of the presence of a blood cyst. Although, in previous cases, contrast microbubbles inside the cyst have been described during systole, we report the presence of microbubbles during diastole

Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography
No full textObjective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects. Method: Three adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and two healthy subjects were recruited for this preliminary study. Subjects were asked to breathe in as deep and exhale as hard as possible three times. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements were performed during spirometry tests. The global inhomogeneity index(GI) was applied to assess the degree of ventilation homogeneity at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of maximum inspiratory volume. Results: Airway obstruction was detected in CF patients but not in healthy volunteers during spirometry tests. GI decreased as inspiratory volume increased in CF patients (0.59+/-0.20 at 25% and 0.39+/-0.09 at 100%, p<0.01, mean+/-SD) while GI remained unchanged in healthy subjects (0.40+/-0.05 at 25% and 0.37+/-0.03 at 100%, p=0.31). Conclusion: Degree of ventilation homogeneity appears to vary during forced respiration in CF patients, but not in healthy volunteers. EIT is a practical method to measure the inhomogeneity of ventilation distribution
