Background: About half of patients with heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have type 2 diabetes. In the STEP-HFpEF DM trial of adults with obesity-related HFpEF and type 2 diabetes, subcutaneous once weekly semaglutide 2·4 mg conferred improvements in heart failure-related symptoms and physical limitations, bodyweight, and other heart failure outcomes. We aimed to determine whether these effects of semaglutide differ according to baseline HbA.

Purpose: To compare the quality of DWI images, signal loss of left hepatic lobe and diagnostic performance of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values between SS-EPI and iShim-EPI in liver lesions.
Methods: Totally 142 patients were involved, images using SS-EPI and the prototype iShim-EPI were acquired before injection of gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI.Image quality of demarcation of liver capsule, resolution, lesion distortion, artifacts, lesion confidence score, and signal loss in left hepatic lobe was assessed by two radiologists.

Intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring is crucial for managing patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) due to their complex cardiovascular and pulmonary abnormalities. Traditionally, pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) has been the standard for hemodynamic monitoring during OLT. However, the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has increased due to its real-time visualization of cardiac and vascular structures, which aids in managing hemodynamic instability during the three surgical phases of OLT: pre-anhepatic, anhepatic, and neo-hepatic.

The appearance of an object triggers an orienting gaze movement toward its location. The movement consists of a rapid rotation of the eyes, the saccade, which is accompanied by a head rotation if the target eccentricity exceeds the oculomotor range and by a slow eye movement if the target moves. Completing a previous report, we explain the numerous points that lead to questioning the validity of a one-to-one correspondence relation between measured physical values of gaze or head orientation and neuronal activity.

Eloquent brain creates a challenge when resecting brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). Here the authors present their technique of using subcortical motor mapping as an adjunct to increase safety during resection of a high-grade bAVM involving somatosensory cortex as well as cortical spinal tracts and visual tracts. After a bilateral craniotomy, they use direct cortical stimulation of the left motor cortex and subcortical stimulation using a suction stimulator to dynamically map motor tracts during the resection.
