Objectives: Neuroprotective measures have been established in open thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair to reduce the incidence of postoperative paraplegia. Distal aortic perfusion (DaP) is meant to increase blood flow to the abdominal organs and the spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is part of peri- and postoperative clinical routine.

- Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are complex and diverse conditions that affect both children and adults, with limited treatment options and a challenging diagnosis process often requiring invasive techniques.
- The RARE-ILD initiative is a collaborative effort by experts to develop innovative non-invasive diagnostic methods and biomarkers, leveraging artificial intelligence for improved data analysis and understanding of ILDs across different ages.
- The eurILDreg project collects extensive patient data using various assessments and technology, with an aim to enhance research, improve patient care, and potentially revolutionize the management of ILDs for up to 4,000 patients and 100,000 biospecimens.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the importance of obtaining clear magnetic resonance (MR) images during ion radiotherapy and analyzes the quality of these images in an experimental setup using phantom imaging and simultaneous irradiation.
- - An open MR scanner was set up in front of an ion beamline, revealing that certain artifacts (like ghosting) in images were related to the magnetic field effects from the beam scanning process, especially under specific conditions.
- - Using a fast imaging pulse sequence minimized image artifacts, demonstrating that real-time MR imaging could be successfully implemented in future hybrid radiotherapy devices.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Earlier Detection of Pediatric Pneumonia.
Clin Pract Cases Emerg Med
August 2024
Case Presentation: An 8-month-old infant presented to a general emergency department with chief complaints of rhinorrhea, decreased activity, and fever. A point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) was performed at bedside with potential early findings of pneumonia. Based on these findings on LUS, a chest radiograph (CXR) was ordered and performed with no acute findings.

Objectives: For successful Naloxone Leave Behind (NLB) programs, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) must identify patients at-risk for opioid overdose. We describe the first year of Vermont's NLB program and report rates of EMS documentation of at-risk patients with subsequent distribution of NLB kits in the subgroup of those refusing transport to an emergency department (ED).
Methods: This retrospective cohort review of all EMS encounters over 1 year compared on-scene EMS documented to retrospective chart reviewidentified at-risk patients eligible for NLB kit dispersal.
