The "CUPCAKE" technique (coiled underlying pseudoaneurysm contained by a woven endobridge device) for treating intracranial aneurysms with atypical morphology.

Background: Intrasaccular flow diversion using the woven endobridge device (WEB; MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, CA, USA) for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms has demonstrated large scale safety and efficacy. However, limitations arise from its structural configuration, restricting its application to specific aneurysm sizes and shapes.

Technique Overview: We introduce the CUPCAKE technique, a combination of conventional coiling followed by WEB intrasaccular flow disruption in select cases of atypical aneurysms with technically challenging morphology not typically treatable by WEB alone.

Can artificial intelligence improve patient educational material readability? A systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Enhancing patient comprehension of their health is crucial in improving health outcomes. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in distilling medical information into a conversational, legible format can potentially enhance health literacy. This review aims to examine the accuracy, reliability, comprehensiveness and readability of medical patient education materials (PEMs) simplified by AI models.

Incidental findings in research brain MRI: Definition, prevalence and ethical implications.

Radiological incidental findings (IFs) are previously undetected abnormalities which are unrelated to the original indication for imaging and are unexpectedly discovered. In brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the prevalence of IFs is increasing. By reviewing the literature on IFs in brain MRI performed for research purposes and discussing ethical considerations of IFs, this paper provides an overview of brain IF research results and factors contributing to inconsistencies and considers how the consent process can be improved from an ethical perspective.

Case report of right supernumerary kidneyin a 38 year old male.

Supernumerary kidney is a highly uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of at least 1 or more extra kidneys in variable positions and morphology. Due to the scarcity in the medical literature, not much is known about this condition. The additional kidney typically has its own collecting system, vascular supply, and distinct encapsulated parenchyma.

Verification of a simplified aneurysm dimensionless flow parameter to predict intracranial aneurysm rupture status.

Objectives: Aneurysm number (An) is a novel prediction tool utilizing parameters of pulsatility index (PI) and aneurysm geometry. An has been shown to have the potential to differentiate intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture status. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of An for IA rupture status prediction using Australian based clinical data.
