Article Synopsis
- Overuse of CT angiography (CTA) for minor neurological issues can cause unnecessary radiation exposure and may require follow-up MRI for proper diagnosis.
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of a fast MRI protocol called NeuroMix, combined with MRA, against CTAH for patients within 24 hours, with results indicating that the MRI approach was equivalent or superior in most cases.
- The findings suggest that the new MRI techniques can provide better or similar diagnostic information in 95% of instances, reducing reliance on CTA for certain patient populations.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer among females worldwide. Disease outcome depends on the hormonal status of the cancer and whether or not it is metastatic, but there is a need for more efficacious therapeutic strategies where first line treatment fails. In this study, Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) inhibition and endocannabinoids were examined as therapeutic alternatives.

As this population ages, assessment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease burden is important. Thus, quantitative and qualitative coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores were assessed for patients with CoA ≥16 years of age, who were seen at a referral center.
