Hepatic arterial infusion therapy involves surgically implanting a subcutaneous hepatic arterial infusion pump with the catheter tip at the hepatic artery. This pump directly delivers chemotherapy to the liver, which may reduce systemic toxicity, improve resectability, and treat unresectable hepatic lesions. This therapy is used in primary or metastatic hepatic malignancies.

Purpose: The fragility index (FI) measures the robustness of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). It complements the P value by taking into account the number of outcome events. In this study, the authors measured the FI for major interventional radiology RCTs.

Background: While it has been shown that aerobic exercise interventions are well tolerated in participants with the Huntington disease (HD) gene mutation, no study to date has tested whether an aerobic exercise intervention benefits brain structure and function in pre-manifest HD.

Objective: In this study we utilized magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques to assess the efficacy of moderate-to-vigorous exercise treatment relative to active stretching and toning control.

Methods: Forty pre-manifest participants with confirmed HD gene expansion were recruited into a two-arm intervention study that included a moderate-to-vigorous intensity home-based walking exercise intervention (N=34) and an active stretching and toning control intervention (N=6).

Objective: H3K27M mutation in gliomas has prognostic implications. Previous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have reported variable rates of tumoral enhancement, necrotic changes, and peritumoral edema in H3K27M-mutant gliomas, with no distinguishing imaging features compared with wild-type gliomas. We aimed to construct an MRI machine learning (ML)-based radiomic model to predict H3K27M mutation in midline gliomas.
