Feasibility of carotid artery PET/MRI in psoriasis patients.
Am J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
September 2016
We report our initial experience of performing integrated PET/MR imaging of the carotid arteries in psoriatic patients. Eleven patients with psoriasis and ten controls underwent carotid PET/MRI. Following injection of the FDG tracer, 3d T1w gradient echo sequence (atMR) was obtained for attenuation correction of PET data.

- The study quantifies the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) during steep Trendelenburg positioning in robot-assisted prostatectomy, finding an average increase of 13.3 mm Hg by the end of the procedure compared to the baseline.
- The researchers measured IOP at different stages: before anesthesia, during anesthesia, and while in steep Trendelenburg, tracking various physiological factors.
- Key predictors of IOP increase included surgical duration and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) levels, while factors like age and body mass index were not significant contributors.
