Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder afflicting almost 12 million people. Increased understanding of its complex and heterogenous disease pathology, etiology and symptom manifestations has resulted in the need to design, capture and interrogate substantial clinical datasets. Herein we advocate how advances in the deployment of artificial intelligence models for Federated Data Analysis and Federated Learning can help spearhead coordinated and sustainable approaches to address this grand challenge.

Objective: There are varying anatomical and mechanical demands of stent placement in the iliofemoral venous segment; the Duo Venous Stent System is designed to address these issues. The purpose of the VIVID (Venous stent for the Iliofemoral Vein Investigational clinical trial using the Duo Venous Stent System) study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Duo Venous Stent System for the treatment of patients with nonmalignant iliofemoral venous obstructive disease.
Methods: This was an international, prospective, multicenter, single-arm study that enrolled patients with symptomatic nonthrombotic (NT), post-thrombotic (PTS), or acute deep vein thrombotic (aDVT) iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction.
Outcomes From Mechanical Thrombectomy for Deep Vein Thrombosis: Insights From the PINC AI Healthcare Database.

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is playing an increasingly important role in treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Although degrees of safety and efficacy have been shown in independent studies, there remains a lack of comparative evidence between MT devices. To address this, we aimed to compare demographics, clinical outcomes, and resource metrics of patients receiving MT for DVT with 3 common devices using a real-world database.

- Rural community practices in the U.S. are increasingly involved in medical education and are encouraged to give academic appointments to non-academic physicians.
- A formal education committee was established in a rural regional practice to facilitate the adoption of academic ranks through various administrative changes over three years.
- As a result, the percentage of physicians with academic rank rose significantly from 41.1% to 92.8%, demonstrating that process changes can effectively enhance academic appointments, improve educational programs, and boost physician satisfaction and retention.
Background: Mechanical thrombectomy is a promising treatment option for deep vein thrombosis; however, long-term data are lacking. Here, we report for the first time the 1-year clinical outcomes from the completely enrolled ClotTriever Outcomes (CLOUT) registry evaluating mechanical thrombectomy with the ClotTriever System (Inari Medical).
Methods: The CLOUT registry (NCT03575364) is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study that enrolled 500 patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.
