Vesalius and His Manikin: An Enduring Influence on Modern Anatomic Teaching.

Neurosurgery

Anatomic teaching has long informed surgical knowledge, experience, and skills. One tool for teaching that emerged during the Renaissance was the fugitive anatomic sheet, which used flap layers to reveal different levels of anatomy. In 1538, Vogtherr introduced the first fugitive sheets, which included illustrations of male and female figures with a torso paper flap that, when lifted, revealed the internal organs in a cartoonish style.

How does news affect biopharma stock prices?: An event study.

PLoS One

February 2024

Laboratory for Financial Engineering, MIT, Cambridge, MA, United States of America.

We investigate the impact of information on biopharmaceutical stock prices via an event study encompassing 503,107 news releases from 1,012 companies. We distinguish between pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and apply three asset pricing models to estimate their abnormal returns. Acquisition-related news yields the highest positive return, while drug-development setbacks trigger significant negative returns.

Article Synopsis
  • Evolocumab, a PCSK9 inhibitor, has been shown to lower LDL-C and reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with existing heart conditions, but its effects on lower-risk patients are still unclear.
  • The VESALIUS-CV trial is testing whether evolocumab can prevent major cardiovascular events in high-risk patients without prior heart issues, involving over 12,000 participants.
  • The study aims to evaluate the drug's effectiveness on specific cardiovascular outcomes over a median follow-up of 4.5 years, with recruitment completed by November 2021.

Adequate preoperative planning may facilitate successful procedures in cardiovascular surgery. We have developed a system named the Vesalius 3D suite, combining three-dimensional (3D) image-processing software with an optic-tracking spatial navigation, allowing quick, accessible 3D image interpretation for virtual reality (VR) exploration and measurement from one or more of a range of imaging modalities. We present a novel method of virtual imaging analysis for preoperative planning and simulation in cardiovascular surgery using this 3D-VR system.
