The use of Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy during general anesthesia has not previously been reported in horses. This randomized, investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled trial evaluates equine cardiopulmonary function and recovery quality after BEMER therapy application for 15 min in 100 horses during general anesthesia using isoflurane for pars-plana vitrectomy surgery as treatment for recurrent uveitis. Visually identical blankets were used in the two groups (1:1 ratio), one with a functional BEMER module and the other with a placebo module.

Introduction And Objectives: Challenging percutaneous renal punctures to gain access to the kidney requiring guidance by cross-sectional imaging. To test the feasibility of robotic-assisted CT-guided punctures (RP) and compare them with manual laser-guided punctures (MP) with Uro Dyna-CT (Siemens Healthcare Solutions, Erlangen, Germany).
Material And Methods: The silicon kidney phantom contained target lesions of three sizes.
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been approved in uro-oncology for a few years. Real-world experience regarding benefits and risks with novel side effects are rare.
Materials And Methods: In a retrospective analysis, all patients who received ICI therapy due to metastatic renal cell carcinoma (NCC) or urothelial carcinoma (UCA) were enrolled at two maximum care hospitals in Germany between July 2016 and May 2021.
The effects of the "physical BEMER® vascular therapy", a method for the physical stimulation of the vasomotion of precapillary microvessels in case of impaired microcirculation, on sleep, pain and quality of life of patients with different clinical pictures on the basis of three scientifically validated scales.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 658 patient questionnaires on the effectiveness of "physical BEMER® vascular therapy" conducted from April 2011 to March 2013.
- The questionnaires utilized three established scales to assess changes in sleep quality, pain levels, and overall quality of life after a 6-week treatment period.
- Results indicated significant improvements in all three areas for patients, regardless of their specific health conditions.
Purpose: To compare ventricular volume measurement using a volumetric approach in the three standard cardiac planes and ventricular volume estimation by a geometrical model, the Area-Length method (ALM).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-six healthy volunteers were examined (27 males, 29 females) on a 1.5T MR-unit with ECG-triggered steady state free precision (SSFP) Cine-MR sequences and parallel image acquisition.
