RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Concerns about COVID-19 vaccination induced myocarditis or subclinical myocarditis persists in some populations. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been used to detect signs of COVID-19 vaccination induced myocarditis. This study aims to: (i) characterise myocardial tissue, function, size before and after COVID-19 vaccination, (ii) determine if there is imaging evidence of subclinical myocardial inflammation or injury after vaccination using CMR. METHODS: Subjects aged ≥ 12yrs old without prior COVID-19 or COVID-19 vaccination underwent two CMR examinations: first, ≤ 14 days before the first COVID-19 vaccination and a second time ≤ 14 days after the second COVID-19 vaccination. Biventricular indices, ejection fraction (EF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), left ventricular (LV) myocardial native T1, T2, extracellular volume (ECV) quantification, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), white cell count (WCC), C-reactive protein (CRP), NT-proBNP, troponin-T, electrocardiogram (ECG), and 6-min walk test were assessed in a blinded fashion. RESULTS: 67 subjects were included. First and second CMR examinations were performed a median of 4 days before the first vaccination (interquartile range 1-8 days) and 5 days (interquartile range 3-6 days) after the second vaccination respectively. No significant change in global native T1, T2, ECV, LV EF, right ventricular EF, LV GLS, LGE, ECG, LDH, troponin-T and 6-min walk test was demonstrated after COVID-19 vaccination. There was a significant WCC decrease (6.51 ± 1.49 vs 5.98 ± 1.65, p = 0.003) and CRP increase (0.40 ± 0.22 vs 0.50 ± 0.29, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: This study found no imaging, biochemical or ECG evidence of myocardial injury or inflammation post COVID-19 vaccination, thus providing some reassurance that COVID-19 vaccinations do not typically cause subclinical myocarditis.

RESUMO

This report demonstrates the feasibility and safety of using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to confirm intranodal needle position in children requiring dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography (DCMRL). A total of 7 patients were evaluated using CEUS after nodal puncture on a detachable magenetic resonance table, with 2 nodes cannulated in each patient, resulting in a combined evaluation of 14 nodes. The nodal cannulation success rate using CEUS was 85.7% (12/14 nodes). DCMRL was performed successfully in all patients with good contrast opacification of the central conducting lymphatics. Out of the 14 nodes, 2 nodes in the same patient demonstrated persistent extravasation on CEUS despite needle readjustment, requiring conversion to fluoroscopic lymphangiography. No adverse event related to the injection technique or CEUS was reported.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Age-specific incidence of acute myocarditis/pericarditis in adolescents following Comirnaty vaccination in Asia is lacking. This study aimed to study the clinical characteristics and incidence of acute myocarditis/pericarditis among Hong Kong adolescents following Comirnaty vaccination. METHODS: This is a population cohort study in Hong Kong that monitored adverse events following immunization through a pharmacovigilance system for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. All adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years following Comirnaty vaccination were monitored under the COVID-19 vaccine adverse event response and evaluation program. The clinical characteristics and overall incidence of acute myocarditis/pericarditis in adolescents following Comirnaty vaccination were analyzed. RESULTS: Between 14 June 2021 and 4 September 2021, 33 Chinese adolescents who developed acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination were identified. In total, 29 (87.88%) were male and 4 (12.12%) were female, with a median age of 15.25 years. And 27 (81.82%) and 6 (18.18%) cases developed acute myocarditis/pericarditis after receiving the second and first dose, respectively. All cases are mild and required only conservative management. The overall incidence of acute myocarditis/pericarditis was 18.52 (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.67-29.01) per 100 000 persons vaccinated. The incidence after the first and second doses were 3.37 (95% CI, 1.12-9.51) and 21.22 (95% CI, 13.78-32.28 per 100 000 persons vaccinated, respectively. Among male adolescents, the incidence after the first and second doses were 5.57 (95% CI, 2.38-12.53) and 37.32 (95% CI, 26.98-51.25) per 100 000 persons vaccinated. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant increase in the risk of acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination among Chinese male adolescents, especially after the second dose.

RESUMO

A curious triad of retinitis pigmentosa, external ophthalmoplegia, and complete heart block was presented by Sayre et al. in 1958. Since then, the disorder named Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) has come to represent patients with mitochondrial DNA deletions presenting before adulthood, primarily with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) and pigmentary retinopathy. However, it is increasingly noted that the presentations can well be variable despite similar genetic deletions. Here, we present two cases with identical large-scale mitochondrial DNA deletions but very dissimilar outlook.

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: The increasing prevalence of breast augmentation presents new challenges in breast imaging interpretation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recognized as the gold standard for the evaluation of augmented breasts. This article reviews the MRI features of different breast augmentation techniques, their associated complications, and the role of MRI in the assessment of concurrent breast abnormalities. TEACHING POINTS: • MRI has the highest sensitivity and specificity for implant rupture detection. • MRI is able to discriminate the nature of implanted prosthesis or injected materials. • Sensitivity of cancer detection by MRI is not reduced through implants.
