Voorbeelden van splenic

• In summary, counting pitted erythrocytes provides an excellent and quantitative method with which to evaluate splenic function.

• Like computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging provides no functional information about splenic activity, unless a spleen-specific agent is used.

• In summary, the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging in delineating splenic location, number, and size has not been proven in the heterotaxy syndromes.

• A review of the published results, nonetheless, indicates difficulties in accurately detecting small amounts of splenic tissue in patients with atypical anatomy.

• Newer spleen-specific agents such as superparamagnetic iron oxide may increase the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of splenic anatomy and function.

• Morphological characteristics of the atria and their variations, including characteristics in the splenic syndromes.

• Analysis of visceral heterotaxy according to splenic status, appendage morphology, or both.

• Embolic complications included splenic infarct or abscess, coronary embolism with myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and peripheral limb embolization, but cerebral embolization was not included.

• The reliability of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in detecting splenic tissue in the heterotaxy syndromes is unproven and perhaps only fair at best.

• Conversely, if clinical suspicion is high for asplenia, one may simply initiate daily antibiotic prophylaxis and reevaluate the splenic function after the newborn period.

• Either of these tests should probably be performed in all patients, since they provide information on overall splenic function.

• Despite the close association of certain constellations of cardiac disease with splenic status, however, the association is not perfect.

• The spleen: diagnosis of splenic diseases using radiolabeled tracers.

• These studies suggested that splenic precursors move along the stomach, and that an inhibitory ' anchor ' effect is exerted by the posterior spleno-pancreatic mesenchyme.

• In such cases, it would be necessary to generate monoclonal antibodies via the fusion of splenic cells of the immunized animal with immortal myeloma cells.
