Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is a key pathophysiologic feature in heart failure and can be quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping. However, increases in myocardial free water also prolong native T1 times and may impact fibrosis quantification. Thus far, the impact of systemic patient volume status remains unclear. In this study, native T1 time by CMR was investigated in hemodialysis (HD) patients (n = 37) and compared with healthy controls (n = 35). Volume status was quantified by bioimpedance spectroscopy and correlated with CMR T1 time. While no differences between HD patients and controls were present with regard to age (p = 0.180), height (p = 0.535), weight (p = 0.559) and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (p = 0.273), cardiac size was significantly larger in HD patients (LV end-diastolic volume 164 ± 53 vs. 132 ± 26 ml, p = 0.002). Fluid overloaded HD patients had significantly longer native T1 times than normovolemic HD patients and healthy controls (1,042 ± 46 vs. 1,005 ± 49 vs. 998 ± 47 ms, p = 0.030). By regression analysis, T1 time was significantly associated with fluid status (r = 0.530, p = 0.009, post-HD fluid status). Our data strongly indicate that native CMR T1 time is significantly influenced by systemic volume status. As fluid overload is common in patients with cardiovascular diseases, this finding is important and requires further study.

Background: Pretreatment CT perfusion (CTP) marker relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) < 42% lesion volume has recently shown to predict poor collateral status and poor 90-day functional outcome. However, there is a paucity of studies assessing its association with hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Here, we aim to assess the relationship between rCBV < 42% lesion volume with HT.

Background: There is growing interest and evidence in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). If early ICH evacuation becomes the standard of care, training neurointerventionalists to perform MIS would expand global access to treatment. We present a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent MIS-ICH evacuation performed by interventional neurologists in collaboration with neurosurgeons.

Background: Venous waveform analysis is an emerging technique to estimate intravascular fluid status by fast Fourier transform deconvolution. Fluid status has been shown proportional to , the amplitude of the fundamental frequency of the waveform's cardiac wave upon deconvolution. Using a porcine model of distributive shock and fluid resuscitation, we sought to determine the influence of norepinephrine on of the central venous waveform.

Aims: ERCP training should adapt to the rapid development of ERCP technology and indications. China has a large population and vast land area, but ERCP training resources are insufficient. To make effective use of scarce ERCP training resources, the Standardized Training for ERCP Procedure (STEP) program was launched as a pilot trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the detection rates of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) using two methods: perometer and circumferential measurements, in patients who had breast cancer surgery.
- A total of 101 female patients were monitored over 12 months, revealing that 34.7% showed signs of subclinical BCRL using circumferential measures, while 23.8% did so via perometer, with no significant difference in quality of life or functionality between those with and without subclinical lymphedema.
- The researchers recommend regular monitoring for BCRL by the same healthcare provider and educating patients to enable early detection and intervention.
