Background: Severe carotid and intracranial artery stenosis disease (CIAD) is major risk for perioperative stroke in coronary artery bypass grafting. Then, preoperative risk assessment is quite important.
Case Presentation: A 58-years old Japanese woman with bilateral carotid stenosis and bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion was suffered from worsening effort angina due to severe three coronary vessel disease. Magnetic resonance imaging angiography demonstrated severe carotid and intracranial vessel stenosis. Selective carotid/cerebral angiography also showed severe stenosis and delayed filling of the right internal carotid artery and moderate stenosis of the left internal carotid artery, with occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries. However, quantitative evaluation with brain perfusion, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with acetazolamide showed depleted cerebral perfusion volume and vascular responses, particularly in the left middle cerebral artery area. However, both sides of MCA reserve cerebral blood flow was maintained at > 34 ml/100 g/min. So, we finally considered that her cerebral perfusion reserve was maintained a certain level and could tolerate open heart surgery. Then, she underwent off-pump coronary artery grafting. Before sternotomy, prophylactic intra-aortic balloon pump support was used to minimize possible perioperative stroke. As a result, hemodynamic status and brain regional oxygen saturation were stable throughout the operation, and recovered uneventfully.
Conclusions: Preoperative quantitative evaluation using brain perfusion SPECT with acetazolamide is useful in assessing hemodynamic cerebrovascular risk in patients with severe obstructive CIAD. Off pump coronary artery bypass grafting with intra aortic balloon pump assist is a good option for prevention of cerebrovascular morbidity in ischemic heart disease with severe CIAD.

To enhance leadership acumen and intelligence among the managerial ranks, many healthcare organizations establish leadership development programs. Doing so makes perfect sense as the caliber of leadership within health and medical institutions profoundly influences all aspects of operation. Although leadership development programs are very capable mechanisms for advancing the state of leadership within healthcare organizations, a notable enhancement-evaluation-is needed to maximize their potential.

Background Deep learning (DL) methods can improve accelerated MRI but require validation against an independent reference standard to ensure robustness and accuracy. Purpose To validate the diagnostic performance of twofold-simultaneous-multislice (SMSx2) twofold-parallel-imaging (PIx2)-accelerated DL superresolution MRI in the knee against conventional SMSx2-PIx2-accelerated MRI using arthroscopy as the reference standard. Materials and Methods Adults with painful knee conditions were prospectively enrolled from December 2021 to October 2022.

Background The increasing workload of radiologists can lead to burnout and errors in radiology reports. Large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, hold promise as error revision tools for radiology. Purpose To test the feasibility of GPT-4 use by determining its error detection, reasoning, and revision performance on head CT reports with varying error types and to validate its clinical utility by comparison with human readers.

The otic capsule and surrounding temporal bone exhibit complex 3D motion influenced by frequency and location of the bone conduction stimulus. The resultant correlation with the intracochlear pressure is not sufficiently understood, thus is the focus of this study, both experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted on six temporal bones from three cadaver heads, with BC hearing aid stimulation applied at the mastoid and classical BAHA locations across 0.
