Article Synopsis
- Challenges with sensory information processing hinder children's engagement in school activities, particularly affecting autistic children and those with sensory integration differences.
- The article advocates for the increased application of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) in educational settings, emphasizing its importance and alignment with education laws.
- It presents evidence for the relevance of ASI in school-based occupational therapy and suggests best practices for its implementation, aiming to empower therapists to better support students' needs.
Microbubble Contrast Agents Improve Detection of Active Hemorrhage.
IEEE Open J Eng Med Biol
June 2024
Assessment of trauma-induced hemorrhage with ultrasound is particularly challenging outside of the clinic, where its detection is crucial. The current clinical standard for hematoma detection - the focused assessment with sonography of trauma (FAST) exam - does not aim to detect ongoing blood loss, and thus is unable to detect injuries of increasing severity. To enhance detection of active bleeding, we propose the use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), together with a novel flow phantom and contrast-sensitive processing techniques, to facilitate efficient, practical characterization of internal bleeding.

- The study introduces a new method for accessing the cephalic vein (CVP) for implanting cardiac devices, which may lead to fewer complications and easier learning for healthcare providers.
- It analyzed data from 229 patients, with a focus on CVP as the main access route and found a 90% success rate for lead implantation using this method.
- The results show that CVP is as efficient as the traditional subclavian vein puncture (SVP) while having lower complication rates, suggesting it could become the preferred approach for these procedures.
Many shark populations are in decline around the world, with severe ecological and economic consequences. Fisheries management and marine protected areas (MPAs) have both been heralded as solutions. However, the effectiveness of MPAs alone is questionable, particularly for globally threatened sharks and rays ('elasmobranchs'), with little known about how fisheries management and MPAs interact to conserve these species.

ULM can image many centimeters into tissue in-vivo and track microvascular flow non-invasively with sub-diffraction resolution. In a significant community effort, we organized a challenge, Ultrasound Localization and TRacking Algorithms for Super-Resolution (ULTRA-SR).
