Non-Calcified Coronary Artery Plaque on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiogram: Prevalence and Significance
CONCLUSIONS: NCP is the initial precursor of calcified plaque and serves as a prominent marker of early coronary atherosclerosis. By detecting NCP during early stages, several measures can be implemented which can alter the evolutionary course of the underlying disease. This can potentially lead to a lower incidence of cardiovascular events.PMID:37736993 | DOI:10.3390/tomography9050140

Female-specific risk factors of parity and menopause age and risk of carotid plaque: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: In a multiethnic cohort, grand multiparity was independently associated with carotid plaque presence and progression. Early menopause, a known risk factor for CVD, was not captured by carotid plaque in this study. These findings may have implications for refining CVD risk assessment in women.PMID:37736349 | PMC:PMC10509453

BBB opening by low pulsed electric fields, depicted by delayed-contrast MRI, enables efficient delivery of therapeutic doxorubicin doses into mice brains
ConclusionsOur results demonstrate significant BBBo levels induced by extra-cranial L-PEFs, enabling efficient delivery of therapeutic Doxo doses into the brain and reducing tumor growth. As BBBo was undetectable by standard contrast-enhanced MRI, DCM was applied to generate maps depicting the BBBo levels throughout the brain. These findings suggest that BDF is a promising technology for efficient drug delivery into the brain with important implications for future treatment of brain cancer and additional CNS diseases.

Value of ultrasound in assessing response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer
CONCLUSION: This study has shown significance in reducing LD measurements on ultrasound as a predictor of PCR and RCB class. This adds weight to the current practice of using ultrasound at the start, mid and end of chemotherapy cycles to monitor NACT responses.PMID:37734976 | DOI:10.1016/j.crad.2023.07.010

Boiling histotripsy induces dendritic cell activation and acquisition of antigen in tumor draining lymph nodes
bioRxiv. 2023 Sep 6:2023.09.02.552844. doi: 10.1101/2023.09.02.552844. Preprint.ABSTRACTBoiling histotripsy (BH), a mechanical focused ultrasound ablation strategy, can elicit intriguing signatures of anti-tumor immunity. However, the influence of BH on dendritic cell function is unknown, compromising our ability to optimally combine BH with immunotherapies to control metastatic disease. Here, by applying BH to B16F10 melanoma expressing a ZsGreen antigen in a monotherapy protocol that elicits abscopal tumor control, we observed a marked increase in antigen acquisition by multiple phagocytic immune cells, including convent...

Ultrasound-guided ablation techniques for thyroid lesions
Laryngorhinootologie. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1055/a-2144-4132. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltrasound-guided ablation techniques have been increasingly introduced into routine treatment of thyroid lesions as a complement to existing surgical therapies and radioiodine treatment. In cystic or predominantly cystic lesions instillation therapy (ethanol/polidocanol ablation) has yielded good results. Novel thermal ablation techniques, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), laser ablation (LA) and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), induce irreversible cellular effects by locally applying temper...

Comparison of the slow ‐pull and aspiration methods of endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration for next‐generation sequencing‐compatible tissue collection in non‐small cell lung cancer
ConclusionOverall, these findings suggest that the slow-pull method is a superior technique for EBUS-TBNA to obtain high-quality tissue samples for NGS. The slow-pull method may contribute to the identification of driver gene mutations and translocations and facilitate personalized treatment of NSCLC.

How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit. Let me show you in detail how primary care should be carried out in the future! Digital health should become an organic part of primary care in the future I live a fairly healthy life. I use data to improve my lifestyle and to make better decisions by optimising my sleep pattern, my physical, my cognitive or my emotional abilities; and I had several genetic tests....

Analysis of Prognoses according to Breast MRI Results in Patients with Axillary Lymph Node Metastases from an Unknown Primary Origin
CONCLUSION: The prognoses of MR-negative patients with ACUPax who received ALND and WBRT followed by chemotherapy were as good as those of patients with MRI-detected primary breast cancers.PMID:37727923 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2023.0181

A neonate with aseptic cutaneous necrosis related to the migration of the proximal central venous catheter infusion port
We report a case of aseptic cutaneous necrosis from extravasation of calcium chloride at the proximal port of a central venous catheter (CVC). A right internal jugular CVC was placed with ultrasound guidance using contemporary guidelines for size and insertion site. Catheter migration occurred concurrent with development of postoperative anasarca. Four days later, leakage of infusate with skin necrosis was noted at the insertion site. Despite initial proper positioning, catheter ports can migrate out of intravascular structures due to postprocedural subcutaneous edema. Intravascular confirmation should be performed regular...

Microfragmented adipose tissue in the treatment of a full-thickness supraspinatus tear: a case report
Regen Med. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.2217/rme-2023-0086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 70-year-old female presented with an 8-month history of right anterior shoulder pain and weakness, unresolved with conservative management. Among other shoulder pathology, the patient was diagnosed with a full-thickness supraspinatus tear and elected to proceed with the microfragmented adipose tissue procedure to treat the injured tendon and nearby relevant structures. Improvements in pain and function were documented along with progressive healing of the supraspinatus on ultrasound and MRI following the procedure. This case demonstrates th...
