Tracking head movement inside an MR scanner using electromagnetic coils.

Prospective motion corrections in brain imaging for MRI are fairly challenging. Monitoring involuntary head movement inside MR scanner is crucial for prospective motion correction. This initial study delves into utilizing simulations to track the head's movements within an MRI scanner, achieved by measuring induced voltage changes from time-varying magnetic field gradients in head-mounted coils.

An International Factorial Vignette-Based Survey of Intubation Decisions in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure.

Objectives: Intubation is a common procedure in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), with minimal evidence to guide decision-making. We conducted a survey of when to intubate patients with AHRF to measure the influence of clinical variables on intubation decision-making and quantify variability.

Design: Factorial vignette-based survey asking "Would you recommend intubation?" Respondents selected an ordinal recommendation from a 5-point scale ranging from "Definite no" to "Definite yes" for up to ten randomly allocated vignettes.

Morphology of the human inner ear and vestibulocochlear nerve assessed using 7 T MRI.

Objective: To optimize high-resolution 7 T MRI of the cochlea and measure normal cochlea and the cochlear nerve morphometry in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Eight volunteers with normal hearing were scanned at 7 T using an optimized protocol. Two neuroradiologists independently scored image quality.

The First of Us? Meningitis Complicated by Hydrocephalus in an Otherwise Immunocompetent Host: A Case Report.

Cryptococcal species are the most common fungal pathogens to cause meningitis worldwide. The majority of cases are caused by and occur in immunocompromised hosts, while causes most fungal meningitis in immunocompetent hosts. To date, non-, non- species of remain rare causes of human disease, and their clinical courses and preferred treatment regimens remain poorly characterized.
