This document discusses how echocardiography (echo) can be used to assess various systemic diseases. Echo is a noninvasive tool that can examine the heart in real-time and provide information on cardiac structure and function. It discusses how echo is useful in evaluating diseases of the pericardium, valves, and other cardiac manifestations of systemic conditions like hypertension, renal failure, and myocardial infarction. Three-dimensional echo and transesophageal echo allow for detailed assessment of valvular structure and function and are particularly useful for evaluating endocarditis. The document provides an overview of the role of echo in diagnosing and managing common systemic diseases encountered in clinical practice.

Plugin smilk : données liées et traitement de la langue pour améliorer la nav...SemWebPro
Pour nourrir leur stratégie marketing et leur veille concurrentielle, les entreprises doivent surveiller le Web et donner un sens à cette grande quantité d'informations. Cette information est éparpillée et nécessite beaucoup de temps pour analyser les différentes sources et compiler les connaissances recueillies de manière intelligente. SMILK est un laboratoire commun entre l'Institut de recherche Inria et la société VISEO pour étudier le couplage fort d'algorithmes et de modèles linguistiques au niveau sémantique, l'extraction et le liage de connaissances issues des ressources du Web et la combinaison de différentes techniques de raisonnement (inférences logiques, des approximations et similitude, etc.). Dans ce contexte, nous allons présenter un prototype permettant d'enrichir les connaissances des utilisateurs naviguant sur le Web à l'aide de résultats issus du Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel, du Web de Données et des réseaux sociaux. Notre présentation se concentrera sur la démonstration d'un plugin de navigateur facile à installer et à utiliser, qui permet d’enrichir l’expérience utilisateur avec quatre fonctions : - la démo commence par montrer comment il est possible d'identifier dans une page les entités pertinentes selon les intérêts de l'utilisateur et comment structurer les données connexes à l'aide d'une analyse linguistique dédiée ; - la deuxième partie de la démo montre comment nous lions les entités reconnues dans le texte ; - la troisième étape de la démo traite du liage d’entités pour connecter les données figurant dans le texte avec les données obtenues à partir de bases de connaissances du Web ; - enfin, dans une dernière étape la démo montre l’intégration de connaissances issues des médias sociaux pour fournir aux utilisateurs des opinions et les idées clés liées au sujet exploré. Le prototype que nous présenterons intègre entièrement les quatre fonctions précédemment définies et, dans le cadre de cette démonstration, est appliqué au domaine des cosmétiques.

Thermal Imaging for the Diagnosis of Early Vascular Dysfunctions: A Case Reportasclepiuspdfs
Diseases of blood vessels (referred in this article as vascular dysfunction) cause more morbidity and mortality, than combined impact of any other major non-communicable disease including cancer. We strongly feel that the development of a therapy system based on the management of disease of the vessel than management of the risk factors will yield better results and provide greater opportunity for individualized therapy. Detection of early vascular changes before clinical manifestations of endothelial dysfunction, hardening of the arteries, increased intima-media thickness, is of great importance for early identification of individuals with increased risk of accelerated atherosclerosis.
Background: Myocarditis is a relatively common inflammatory disease that affects the myocardium. Infectious disease accounts for most of the cases either because of a direct viral infection or post-viral immune-mediated reaction. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become an established non-invasive diagnosis tool for acute myocarditis. A recent large single centre study with patients with biopsy-proven viral myocarditis undergoing CMR scans found a high rate of mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of clinical events in our population of patients with diagnosed myocarditis by CMR scan.
Methods: Patients who consulted to the emergency department with diagnosis of myocarditis by CMR were retrospectively included in the study from January 2008 to May 2012. A CMR protocol was used in all patients, and were followed up to assess the rate of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death, hospitalization for cardiac cause, recurrent myocarditis or need of radiofrequency ablation or implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). A descriptive statistical analysis was performed.
Results: Thirty-two patients with myocarditis were included in the study. The mean age was 42.6±21.2 years and 81.2% were male. In a mean follow up of 30.4±17.8 months, the rate of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death, hospitalization for cardiac cause, recurrent myocarditis or need of radiofrequency ablation or ICD was 15.6% (n=5). Two patients had heart failure (one of them underwent heart transplant), one patient needed ICD because of ventricular tachycardia and two other patients were re-hospitalized, for recurrent chest pain and for recurrent myocarditis respectively.
Conclusions: In our series of acute myocarditis diagnosed by CMR we found a low rate of cardiovascular events without mortality. These findings might oppose data from recently published myocarditis trials.

2. Echo a unique tool to assess systemic
diseases in the clinical setting.
• Echo is a unique tool to assess all forms of
systemic disease that exist in the healthcare
field.
• Echo is noninvasive and is adeptly suited to
examine the heart in real time versus other
diagnostic alternatives.
• 3D echo and 3D TEE have know come to
forefront in diagnosing structural heart
disease.
3. Systemic Disease overview.
• There are numerous kinds of systemic disease
the clinician will encounter on a daily basis in
the healthcare setting.
• I will attempt in this PowerPoint to touch on
which ones are most prevalent and how echo
can be beneficial in treatment and diagnosis
of systemic disease.
4. Kinds of Systemic disease.
• 1. Infiltrate disease. This can consist of
amyloidal ,sacrcodiosdios, etc that infiltrate
and effect the myocardium.
• 2. Infections that produce disease that
damages endocardial valves.
• 3.Myocardial infarction.
• 4.Hyertension.
• 5.Renal failure.
5. Kinds of systemic disease.
• 8.Obesisty.
• 9.Marfan syndrome.
• 10.Malagincies.
This list is not meant to be
comprehensive in nature its just seeks to
establish the fundamental diseases that a
sonogrpaher will encounter on a daily basis.
6. Echo in the pericardial disease.
• Echo is a wonderful adjunct tool to assess
pericardial disease.
• Echo provides great detail about constrictive
pericardial disease. This is often caused by a
thickened fibrotic pericardium that results in
dense fibrosis calcification and adhesions of
the parietal and visceral pericardium(Yared,
2010).
7. Echo role in assessment of
pericardial disease.
• Septal bounce is often the most consistent
echo sign for this disease state with a
sensitivity of 62% and specificity of 93%
(Yared ,2010).
• Also, slowing the sweep speed down and
using respiratory gating often will provide
clues if there are filling stress on heart.
8. Pericardial Effusion.
• Echo is often considered to be the gold
standard in assessing pericardial effusion.
Echo provides real time hemodynamic data
on filling pressures ,as well as, effusion size.
• However, CCT and CMR can play an important
role in situations in which the hemodynamic
data are atypical and presence or severity of
tamponade are in question (Yared, 2008)
9. Echo in valvular heart disease.
• Echo today plays a large and growing role in
assessing valvular heart disease.
• 3D echo has enabled magnificent
visualization of valves and subvalvular
features from single volume acquisition(Lang
2011).
10. Valve stenosis and Endocarditis.
• 3DE is preferred for assessing the
inflammatory valve process of cardiac valve
stenosis(Lang 2011).
• 3DE has shown conclusively that valve shape
is an important determent of pressure loss in
patients with aortic stenosis(Lang, 2011).
11. Endocarditis.
• 3D TEE has come to the forefront in recent
years in the assessment of endocarditis.
• 3D TEE provides superior imaging planes to
examine valves from all directions.
• Dr.Roberto Lang today continues to strongly
advocate for its expanded use in assessing
vavlular heart disease.
12. Echo in HTN and renal failure .
• Echo plays a huge role in the assessment of
pulmonary htn. Echo is often used to calculate
RVSP and is vital in trying to reduce blood
pressure for cardiologists.
• Quantification of TR by 3D echo color Doppler
is feasible and 3D measurements of VC have
shown great correlation with traditional 2d
echo(Lang 2008).
13. Renal failure.
• Echo also plays a role in assessing both renal
failure and liver failure. The main role is to
assess overall left ventricle function and try to
manage the patients overall hemodynamic
load.
• Cardiac output is vital to assess in these
patients.
14. Myocardial infarction.
• Echo plays a large role in the assessment of
myocardial infarction. Echo plays a role in
trying to keep health costs down by being the
most cost effective method to assess CVD.
• A interesting fact is since 1996 overall
spending on CVD has grown at compound
annual rate 5.7%(Miller ,2011 ).
