Effects of Sedation with Medetomidine and Dexmedetomidine on Doppler Measurements of Ovarian Artery Blood Flow in Bitches.

ABSTRACT: The aim was to evaluate if medetomidine and dexmedetomidine affected arterial ovarian blood flow in dogs. The dogs were randomly assigned to two different groups. In Group 1, medetomidine (10 µg/kg) was administered intramuscularly and, in Group 2, dexmedetomidine (5 µg/kg) was used. After a preliminary exam, arterial blood pressure (BP) was measured and a duplex Doppler ultrasonographic examination of both ovarian arteries was performed. Twenty minutes after the administration of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine, BP and ovarian Doppler ultrasonography were repeated. High quality tracings of ovarian artery flow velocity were obtained in all dogs and Doppler parameters: Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV), End Diastolic Velocity (EDV) and Resistive Index (RI) were measured before and after drug administration in the left (LO) and right (RO) ovaries. PSV and EDV values decreased significantly after drug administration (p < 0.05) compared to the non-sedated values, but no differences were found between the LO and RO (p > 0.05). The RI was not affected by drugs administration in neither of the groups studied (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the administration of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine causes a decrease in blood flow velocity in the ovarian artery and may be a good choice to avoid excessive bleeding prior surgeries in which ovariectomy.

Effects of various factors on Doppler flow ultrasonic radial and coccygeal artery systolic blood pressure measurements in privately-owned, conscious dogs.

Project description:ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the effects of age, body condition score (BCS) and muscle condition score (MCS) on indirect radial and coccygeal Doppler systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) measurements in dogs.MethodsSixty-two privately-owned dogs were enrolled between June and July 2016. The BCS and MCS were determined by two investigators. Blood pressure was measured per published guidelines and using headphones, and the order of measurement site was randomized. Dogs were positioned in right lateral recumbency for radial measurements and sternal recumbency or standing for coccygeal measurements. Associations between SAP and other variables were assessed by correlation coefficients and analysis of covariance.ResultsRadial and coccygeal SAP measurements were moderately correlated (r = 0.45, P < 0.01). Radial SAP measurements were higher than coccygeal SAP measurements (mean difference 9 mmHg, P < 0.01), but discordance occurred in both directions. No difference was observed between the first measurement taken, the average of measurements 2-6, or the average of all 6 measurements for either the radial (128, 129, and 129 mmHg; P = 0.36) or coccygeal (121, 122, and 122 mmHg; P = 0.82) site. Associations were not found between SAP measurements for either site and age, weight, BCS, MCS, anxiety score, or cuff size. Heart rate decreased significantly from the start of acclimation to the end of the first data collection series regardless of site (P < 0.01).Conclusions and clinical relevanceInitial measurement site can be based on patient and operator preference given lack of associations with patient variables, but the same site should be used for serial SAP measurements given discordant results between sites.

Indirect Doppler flow systolic blood pressure measurements taken with and without headphones in privately-owned, conscious dogs.

Project description:ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of headphone use and covariates on indirect radial Doppler flow systolic arterial blood pressure (BP) measurements in dogs.MethodsBetween May and August 2018, 100 privately-owned dogs were enrolled. Blood pressure was measured in lateral recumbency, with and without headphones, using a randomized crossover design. The initial BP, mean of BP 2-6, weight, BCS, MCS, anxiety score, and heart rate were recorded. Mixed effects crossover analyses and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were determined.ResultsEighty-four dogs completed the study. Eleven dogs were removed due to excessive anxiety, 10 of which were in the non-headphone first group. The number of dogs diagnosed as hypertensive did not differ between measurement types (19 vs. 18), with seven dogs categorized as hypertensive during both periods. Significant differences in BP were identified (F[1, 80] = 4.3, P = 0.04) due to higher results for measurements taken without headphones for BP 1, but not BP 2-6. Systolic BP was positively correlated with anxiety score, age, and weight.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThough BP 1 was significantly higher when taken without headphones, this pattern did not persist for BP 2-6. Lack of association between BP 2-6 results and measurement type could reflect exclusion of dogs most sensitive to white coat hypertension, acclimation to technique, or improved sound quality of headphones. Given significantly higher BP 1 results and disproportionate exclusion of dogs due to anxiety when measurements first were taken without headphones, use of headphones is recommended to improve accuracy of results.

Direct Blood Flow Measurements in a Free RPE-Choroid Graft with Phase-Resolved Doppler OCT.

Project description:We directly demonstrated the revascularization in a free retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid graft with direct blood flow detection by experimental phase-resolved Doppler optical coherence tomography (PRD-OCT).Seven patients with age-related macular degeneration underwent an RPE-choroid graft translocation in a prospective institutional cohort study. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was used to measure the revascularization stage. With PRD-OCT the presence of flow was imaged postoperatively.The PRD-OCT confirmed flow in three patients when SD-OCT indicated the afferent vessel ingrowth stage, and in all seven patients when the SD-OCT indicated the efferent vessel ingrowth stage.The PRD-OCT study was able to detect the presence of blood flow in a free RPE-choroid graft. The PRD-OCT findings directly confirmed the revascularization that was otherwise based on the more circumstantial evidence provided by SD-OCT images and angiography.The use of both techniques to monitor the revascularization process in a free graft in patients are an interesting example of replacing more invasive by noninvasive techniques. There is potential future use of PRD-OCT for the visualization of vascularization patterns in other pathologies.

Inter-device reproducibility of retrobulbar blood flow velocity measurements in healthy subjects using color Doppler imaging.

Project description:To evaluate the inter-device reproducibility of retrobulbar blood flow measurements obtained by two commercially available CDI (color Doppler imaging) devices.The right eyes of 10 healthy volunteers were investigated. Four examiners, namely two ophthalmologists and two radiologists, performed CDI examination of the ophthalmic artery, central retinal artery and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries using both CDI devices: ESAOTE MYLAB™ and SIEMENS ANTARES STELLAR PLUS™. The peak systolic velocity (PSV), the end-diastolic velocity (EDV) and the resulting resistivity index (RI) were averaged for 3 cardiac cycles. To evaluate the reproducibility between both device measurements, the Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) was used. CCC can be expressed as the product of Pearson's r (the measure of precision) and C_b (the measure of accuracy).Results show that the inter-device reproducibility for CDI measurements is not acceptable since a poor degree of overall concordance (0.15<CCC<0.37) was obtained: accuracy was high (C_b > 0.71) but overall precision low (0.18< Pearson's r <0.47). Ophthalmologists and radiologists obtained similar results.To evaluate the causal role of blood flow abnormalities in glaucoma, CDI analysis using different devices seems unreliable. CDI inter-device reproducibility seems unrelated to medical speciality of the examiners. However, to improve present results, the use of similar probes and standardized CDI instrument settings as well as a CDI images analysis by a single grader, might possibly improve the inter-device reproducibility when testing the retrobulbar blood flow velocity.

Does bilateral uterine artery ligation have negative effects on ovarian reserve markers and ovarian artery blood flow in women with postpartum hemorrhage?

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Bilateral uterine artery ligation (UAL) is a fertility-preserving procedure used in women experiencing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, the long-term effects of this procedure on ovarian function remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether bilateral UAL compromised ovarian reserve and ovarian blood supply. Methods:This prospective study included 49 women aged between 21 and 36 years who had undergone a cesarean section for obstetric indications. Of these, 25 underwent uterine bilateral UAL to control intractable atonic PPH. The control group consisted of 24 women who had not undergone bilateral UAL. Standard clinical parameters, the results of color Doppler screening, and ovarian reserve markers were assessed in all participants at 6 months after surgery. The clinical parameters included age, parity, cycle history, body mass index, and previous medication and/or surgery. Color Doppler screening findings included the pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) for both the uterine and ovarian arteries. The ovarian reserve markers included day 3 follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, antral follicle count, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the ovarian reserve markers of day 3 FSH levels, antral follicle count, and AMH levels between the study and control groups (p>0.05 for all). In addition, no significant differences were observed in the PI and RI indices of the uterine and ovarian arteries (p>0.05 for all). CONCLUSION:In this study, we showed that bilateral UAL had no negative effects on ovarian reserve or ovarian blood supply, so this treatment should be used as a fertility preservation technique to avoid hysterectomy in patients experiencing PPH.

Adaptive Maximal Blood Flow Velocity Estimation From Transcranial Doppler Echos.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Novel applications of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography, such as the assessment of cerebral vessel narrowing/occlusion or the non-invasive estimation of intracranial pressure (ICP), require high-quality maximal flow velocity waveforms. However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of TCD spectrograms, measuring the maximal flow velocity is challenging. In this work, we propose a calibration-free algorithm for estimating maximal flow velocities from TCD spectrograms and present a pertaining beat-by-beat signal quality index. METHODS:Our algorithm performs multiple binary segmentations of the TCD spectrogram and then extracts the pertaining envelopes (maximal flow velocity waveforms) via an edge-following step that incorporates physiological constraints. The candidate maximal flow velocity waveform with the highest signal quality index is finally selected. RESULTS:We evaluated the algorithm on 32 TCD recordings from the middle cerebral and internal carotid arteries in 6 healthy and 12 neurocritical care patients. Compared to manual spectrogram tracings, we obtained a relative error of -1.5%, when considering the whole waveform, and a relative error of -3.3% for the peak systolic velocity. CONCLUSION:The feedback loop between the signal quality assessment and the binary segmentation yields a robust algorithm for maximal flow velocity estimation. Clinical Impact: The algorithm has already been used in our ICP estimation pipeline. By making the code and the data publicly available, we hope that the algorithm will be a useful building block for the development of novel TCD applications that require high-quality flow velocity waveforms.

Improved Color Doppler for Cerebral Blood Flow Axial Velocity Imaging.

Project description:Conventional color Doppler ultrasound imaging suffers from mutual frequency cancellation when applied to quantify axial blood flow velocities in the rodent brain where inverse flows exist within an ultrasound measurement voxel. Here, we report an improved color Doppler-based functional ultrasound imaging method (iCD-fUS) for axial blood flow velocity imaging of the rodent brain. By applying a directional filter and high frequency noise thresholding, iCD-fUS is able to accurately quantify blood flow velocities within the brain as validated with the ultrasound localization microscopy velocimetry method. We show that iCD-fUS is able to image and resolve the directional axial blood flow velocity throughout the entire coronal section of the brain at a temporal frame rate of up to 10 Hz with a spatial resolution of ~100 [Formula: see text]. We further applied iCD-fUS to image the axial blood flow velocity change in response to whisker stimulation in an awake mouse, showing its potential for studying brain activation. With these capabilities, iCD-fUS provides a powerful, quantitative tool for in vivo chronic research.

Automated Visualization and Quantification of Spiral Artery Blood Flow Entering the First-Trimester Placenta, Using 3-D Power Doppler Ultrasound.

Project description:The goal of our research was to quantify the placental vascularity in 3-D at 11-13 + 6 wk of pregnancy at precise distances from the utero-placental interface (UPI) using 3-D power Doppler ultrasound. With this automated image analysis technique, differences in vascularity between normal and pathologic pregnancies may be observed. The algorithm was validated using a computer-generated image phantom and applied retrospectively in 143 patients. The following features from the PD data were recorded: The number of spiral artery jets into the inter-villous space, total geometric and PD area. These were automatically measured at discrete millimeter distances from the UPI. Differences in features were compared with pregnancy outcomes: Pre-eclamptic versus normal, all small-for-gestational age (SGA) to appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) patients and AGA versus SGA in normotensives (Mann-Whitney). The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was used (false discovery rate 10%) for multiple comparison testing. Features decreased with increasing distance from the UPI (Kruskal-Wallis test; p <0.001). At 2- 3 mm from the UPI, all features were smaller in pre-eclamptic compared with normal patients and for some in SGA compared with AGA patients (p <0.05). For AGA versus SGA in normotensive patients, no significant differences were found. Number of jets measured at 2-5 mm from the UPI did not vary because of the position of the placenta in the uterus (ANOVA; p > 0.05). This method provides a new in-vivo imaging tool for examining spiral artery development through pregnancy. Size and number of entrances of blood flow into the UPI could potentially be used to identify high-risk pregnancies and may provide a new imaging biomarker for placental insufficiency.

Defining Coronary Flow Patterns: Comprehensive Automation of Transthoracic Doppler Coronary Blood Flow.

Project description:The coronary microcirculation (CM) plays a critical role in the regulation of blood flow and nutrient exchange to support the viability of the heart. In many disease states, the CM becomes structurally and functionally impaired, and transthoracic Doppler echocardiography can be used as a non-invasive surrogate to assess CM disease. Analysis of Doppler echocardiography is prone to user bias and can be laborious, especially if additional parameters are collected. We hypothesized that we could develop a MATLAB algorithm to automatically analyze clinically-relevant and non-traditional parameters from murine PW Doppler coronary flow patterns that would reduce intra- and inter-operator bias, and analysis time. Our results show a significant reduction in intra- and inter-observer variability as well as a 30 fold decrease in analysis time with the automated program vs. manual analysis. Finally, we demonstrated good agreement between automated and manual analysis for clinically-relevant parameters under baseline and hyperemic conditions. Resulting coronary flow velocity reserve calculations were also found to be in good agreement. We present a MATLAB algorithm that is user friendly and robust in defining and measuring Doppler coronary flow pattern parameters for more efficient and potentially more insightful analysis assessed via Doppler echocardiography.

Demonstration of blood flow by color doppler in the femoral artery distal to arterial cannula during peripheral venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Project description:In spite of distal perfusion of the limb using a cannula, the limb can have ischemic events if there is an undetected kink or clot anywhere in the line or thrombus in the artery. There are several ways to monitor and assess the limb ischemia. Monitoring for clinical signs of limb ischemia like temperature change and pallor is reliable and mandatory. We report a method where we used color Doppler to document the blood flow. Curvilinear vascular probe of an echo machine is used to identify the flow in the distal femoral artery of the lower limb. . As we have demonstrated in the video attached, once flow to the distal limb perfusion system is shut off by closing the three way stop cock, we can appreciate the immediate cessation of flow in the artery by Doppler.
