Daily Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning for Intermittent Claudication: A Sham Controlled Randomised Trial.
Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg
November 2024
Objective: Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a promising non-invasive strategy in which brief episodes of ischaemia and reperfusion can increase skeletal muscle resistance to ischaemia and improve mobility. This study aimed to determine whether 28 consecutive days of RIPC improved intermittent claudication (IC) symptoms compared with sham intervention.
Methods: This single centre, parallel, randomised, sham controlled, double blind trial was conducted from January 2022 to April 2023 in outpatient settings.
Pulmonary 4D-flow MRI imaging in landrace pigs under rest and stress.

Article Synopsis
- 4D-flow MRI is a promising method for evaluating how blood flows through vessels, particularly in the pulmonary system, but lacks reference values for these vessels.
- In a study, researchers measured blood flow and velocity in the pulmonary trunk and arteries of healthy Landrace pigs, both at rest and after inducing stress with dobutamine to increase heart rate.
- Significant increases in blood flow and velocity were observed under stress, and the reproducibility of these measurements was generally good to excellent, indicating that 4D-flow MRI can effectively track physiological changes in the heart and lungs.
The neuronal cell adhesion molecule contactin-4 () is genetically associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other psychiatric disorders. -deficient mouse models have previously shown that CNTN4 plays important roles in axon guidance and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. However, the pathogenesis and functional role of CNTN4 in the cortex has not yet been investigated.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from 2000 to the present (June 2022).
