Impact of intravenous CT contrast agents on internal calibration techniques to determine trabecular BMD of the lumbar spine.
Eur J Radiol

Department of Medicine 3, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany; Institute of Medical Physics, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany. Electronic address:
Objectives: Contrast agents are frequently administered in computed tomography (CT) scans used for opportunistic screening of osteoporosis. The objective of this study is to compare the impact of contrast-related bone mineral density (BMD) increase between phantom-based and internal CT calibration techniques.
Materials And Methods: Phantom-based and internal CT calibration techniques were used to determine trabecular BMD in 93 existing clinical CT scans of the lumbar spine of 34 subjects, scanned before and after administration of contrast agents.
Central venous pressure as a method of optimising atrio-ventricular delay after cardiac surgery.
PLoS One
January 2025
National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Haemodynamic atrioventricular delay (AVD) optimisation has primarily focussed on signals that are not easy to acquire from a pacing system itself, such as invasive left ventricular catheterisation or arterial blood pressure (ABP). In this study, standard clinical central venous pressure (CVP) signals are tested as a potential alternative.
Methods: Sixteen patients with a temporary pacemaker after cardiac surgery were studied.
Predictors of Venous Thromboembolism Following Geriatric Distal Femur Fracture Fixation: Are These Patients at Higher Risk Compared With Hip Fracture Patients?
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) following injury and subsequent fixation of a distal femur fracture (DFFx) is associated with considerable morbidity. However, the incidence of VTE, associated factors, and the relative risk compared with hip fracture (HFx) fixation remains poorly characterized.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver M165 database to identify geriatric patients who underwent DFFx and HFx fixation.
Targeting the Hh and Hippo pathways by miR-7 suppresses the development of insect wings.
Insect Sci
January 2025
College of Life Sciences, Shandong Agricultural University, Tai'an, Shandong Province, China.
Wings are important organs of insects involved in flight, mating, and other behaviors, and are therefore prime targets for pest control. The formation of insect wings is a complex process that is regulated by multiple pathways. The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway regulates the distribution of wing veins, while the Hippo pathway modulates wing size.

Ann Surg Treat Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, Guri, Korea.
Purpose: Patients with stage I colorectal cancer (CRC) rarely experience recurrence after curative resection. Therefore, the risk factors for stage I CRC recurrence are yet to be established. We aimed to identify risk factors for stage I CRC recurrence.
