Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the effectiveness of a second acquisition during contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) to improve the evaluation of blood flow in patients with past internal carotid artery occlusions.
- - Using a retrospective analysis, researchers compared CE-MRA results with MR perfusion data and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to assess discrepancies in occlusion locations and collateral blood flow.
- - Findings indicate that 28.5% of patients displayed a false appearance of occlusion in the early phase of CE-MRA, suggesting that the second acquisition could reveal important details missed initially, particularly regarding collateral circulation.
Article Synopsis
- Intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) enhances ultrasound imaging with microbubble contrast agents for better visualization of blood vessels and organ perfusion.
- CEUS is recognized as an effective tool in specific situations and is preferred over traditional B-mode and Doppler imaging.
- The article explores both approved and off-label uses of CEUS for children and adults, including FDA-approved contrast agents, their side effects, and current advancements in the technology.
The cerebral arterial system shows a wide spectrum of variations. Minor degrees of anatomic differences can be seen in almost all patients. Recognition of these anatomic variants is essential for the following: evaluating collateral circulation; some anatomic variants may mimic pathology; increased risk for aneurysm formation with some variants (e.

Peripheral artery disease is a condition that occurs due to narrowing or occlusion of arterial lumen usually secondary to atherosclerosis. Endovascular treatments are minimally invasive procedures that have become popular for recanalization of such calcified/sclerosed arteries. However, heavily calcified arteries make these procedures challenging and are more prone to complications like balloon rupture and bleeding.

This pilot study assessed the clinical effectiveness of intravenous iron and a 6-week course of low-dose (75 mg/day) pregabalin for the treatment of RLS in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: It was a prospective, interventional study that included adult patients with cirrhosis and RLS.
