Non-Traumatic Chylothorax and Chylopericardium: Diagnosis and Treatment Using an Algorithmic Approach Based on Novel Lymphatic Imaging

To determine the historical use and utility of various lymphatic imaging modalities in Noonan syndrome (NS) patients, we performed a comprehensive literature review by collecting the published medical imaging of NS lymphatic dysplasias. We correlated imaging findings with clinical phenotypes and treatment. Our analysis of lymphatic imaging modalities provides an algorithmic approach to imaging and patient care across the spectrum of NS developmental defects. A total of 54 NS cases have been published since 1975. Using the observations reported in 15 reviewed publications, an association was made between disruptions in central lymphatic flow and poor clinical presentations/outcomes in NS patients.

Corona Virus

: After the outbreak of 2019 novel corona virus infection in China, we have the outbreak of disease in Iran and until March 05, 2020 have been reported a total number of confirmed cases more than 3500 and approximately 3.3% deaths. The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection as a newly emerging disease in East Asia has caused a great challenge in managing the patients and controlling the disease especially in children. This algorithm is based on the standard diagnosis and treatment strategies for pediatric viral infections and available strategies to prevention of COVID-19 infection. It is hoped that with international co-operation, this global dilemma will end with the least burden of disease. Due to the lack of scientific evidences in children, this algorithm is essential for decision making.

This chapter examines the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of common causes of coma and low arousal states as well as common mimics. It begins with a review of relevant anatomy and physiology pertinent to normal arousal, highlighting important structural and neurochemical processes that can become deranged in various disorders of arousal. It discusses common etiologies of coma organized into structural and toxic/metabolic causes followed by a review of important physical exam, laboratory, imaging, coma scales, and other useful diagnostic testing. Finally, a suggested algorithmic approach is presented to guide timely diagnosis and treatment incorporating important principles highlighted throughout the chapter.
