BACKGROUND Primary cardiac malignancies are extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.07% on autopsy series. Primary sarcomas represent up to 95% of malignant neoplasms, with myxofibrosarcomas accounting for only 10%.

. The current paper describes the creation of a simultaneous trimodal neuroimaging protocol. The authors detail their methodological design for a subsequent large-scale study, demonstrate the ability to obtain the expected physiologically induced responses across cerebrovascular domains, and describe the pitfalls experienced when developing this approach.

Article Synopsis
  • This review discusses the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac autonomic nervous system activity (ANSA) through easily accessible parameters like heart rate (HR) and heart-rate variability (HRV), highlighting their importance in risk assessment for sudden cardiac death.
  • The translation of these parameters from controlled lab settings to real-world ambulatory environments faces challenges due to various uncontrolled factors such as blood pressure changes and physical activity.
  • To improve the accuracy of ANSA evaluations in everyday settings, the authors suggest using a multi-sensor and multiparametric approach, along with data fusion and machine-learning techniques.

Pearls and Pitfalls of T1-Weighted Neuroimaging: A Primer for the Clinical Radiologist.

All T1-weighted images are built upon one of two fundamental pulse sequences, spin-echo and gradient echo, each of which has distinct signal characteristics and clinical applications. Moreover, within each broadly defined category of T1-weighting, acquisition parameters can be modified to affect image quality, contrast, and scan duration; each tailored sequence has unique advantages, drawbacks, clinical indications, and potential artifacts. In this review, we describe key features that distinguish different types of T1-weighted sequences and discuss the utility of each sequence for specific clinical settings, including neuro-oncology, vasculopathy, and pediatric neuroradiology.

Article Synopsis
  • Alterations in repolarization gradients contribute significantly to the development of ventricular arrhythmias, especially in patients with varying heart conditions.
  • High-density repolarization mapping can enhance the understanding of these abnormalities and help localize arrhythmogenic areas more effectively during procedures like ablation.
  • Despite its potential benefits, repolarization mapping faces practical and technical challenges that limit its routine use, necessitating further research and improvements to integrate it into standard clinical practices.
