Background And Aims: Hypercholesterolemia (HC) has previously been shown to augment the restenotic response in animal models and humans. However, the mechanistic aspects of in-stent restenosis (ISR) on a hypercholesterolemic background, including potential augmentation of systemic and local inflammation precipitated by HC, are not completely understood. CD47 is a transmembrane protein known to abort crucial inflammatory pathways.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of epinephrine on coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) during CPR in a multicenter trial, addressing limitations of single lab experiments with varying patient populations.
- Forty-five swine were used across five laboratories, with three treatment groups: continuous IV epinephrine infusion, boluses of epinephrine, or placebo, after inducing ventricular fibrillation and CPR.
- Results showed no significant differences in CPP between the treatment groups, indicating that standard doses of epinephrine did not improve outcomes compared to placebo, while highlighting inter-laboratory variability in results.
Purpose: We aim to determine an advantageous approach for the acceleration of high spatial resolution 3D cardiac T2 relaxometry data by comparing the performance of different undersampling patterns and reconstruction methods over a range of acceleration rates.
Methods: Multi-volume 3D high-resolution cardiac images were acquired fully and undersampled retrospectively using 1) optimal CAIPIRINHA and 2) a variable density random (VDR) sampling. Data were reconstructed using 1) multi-volume sensitivity encoding (SENSE), 2) joint-sparsity SENSE and 3) model-based SENSE.
The management of lymphatic malformations (LMs) is challenging, particularly for large and complex lesions involving anatomical structures in the adjacent tissue. While lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) has been reported as an effective treatment for lymphedema, it has hardly been described as a treatment for LM. Virtual reality has the ability to visualize human structures in three dimensions and can be used for the preoperative planning of complex cases.

Current hypothermia methods are invasive and expensive and not applicable in ambulatory settings. We investigated the evaporative cooling effect of high flow transnasal dry air on core esophageal temperature in human volunteers.
