Characterization of the clinically approved MRI tracer resotran for magnetic particle imaging in a comparison study.

The availability of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with medical approval for human intervention is fundamental to the clinical translation of magnetic particle imaging (MPI). In this work, we thoroughly evaluate and compare the magnetic properties of an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approved tracer to validate its performance for MPI in future human trials.We analyze whether the recently approved MRI tracer Resotran is suitable for MPI.

Bare-Metal Stent Tracking with Magnetic Particle Imaging.

Purpose: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical imaging modality that is on the verge of clinical use. In recent years, cardiovascular applications have shown huge potential like, e.g.

Background: Magnetic particle imaging offers far-reaching potential with a unique range of applications.

Objectives: Identification of application scenarios with added value for clinical use.

Methods: Overview of previous application scenarios in phantom and small animal models, evaluation of dual-use potential.

Education response to COVID 19 pandemic, a special issue proposed by UNICEF: Editorial review.

This editorial paper presents 11 papers related to the special issue proposed by UNICEF on the Education Response to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic provoked an education emergency of unprecedented scale. At its onset in February 2020, school closures were announced in the worst-hit countries.

Safety of Implantation of a Leadless Pacemaker via Femoral Approach in the Presence of an Inferior Vena Cava Filter.

A 61-year-old woman with symptomatic complete heart block was referred for permanent pacemaker. The presence of a left-sided arteriovenous fistula and right-sided mastectomy with lymph node dissection precluded the implantation of a transvenous pacemaker, and therefore, a leadless pacemaker was recommended. The patient also had an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter.
