A novel, robust, and portable platform for magnetoencephalography using optically-pumped magnetometers.

September 2024
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures brain function via assessment of magnetic fields generated by neural currents. Conventional MEG uses superconducting sensors, which place significant limitations on performance, practicality, and deployment; however, the field has been revolutionised in recent years by the introduction of optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs). OPMs enable measurement of the MEG signal without cryogenics, and consequently the conception of "OPM-MEG" systems which ostensibly allow increased sensitivity and resolution, lifespan compliance, free subject movement, and lower cost.

- A study called PEERLESS compared two catheter methods, large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), for treating intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) in 550 patients, focusing on various health outcomes.
- The results showed that LBMT led to fewer complications and less need for intensive care compared to CDT, including lower rates of clinical deterioration and ICU admissions.
- Although LBMT had better short-term outcomes, there were no significant differences in mortality or major bleeding between the two treatment methods after 30 days.
Meet and Greet Sessions: A Unique Virtual Opt-Out Approach to Support Trainee Well-Being.
J Grad Med Educ
October 2024
Interventions to support graduate medical education (GME) trainee well-being at the institutional level continue to be an area for continuous improvement. To assess participation, feasibility, and acceptability of a virtual, individual, brief, nonevaluative opt-out approach to accessing mental health support for residents and fellows. From 2021 to 2023, all GME programs at one large institution were invited to participate.

Article Synopsis
- A commensal bacterial species, often found in the human gut, might have potential probiotic benefits.
- The researchers focus on a specific strain, APC2688, which was isolated from human feces.
- They present the draft genome sequence of this strain to enhance understanding of its characteristics.
