Intracranial aneurysm is a pathology related to the deterioration of the arterial wall. This work is an essential part of a large-scale project aimed at providing clinicians with a non-invasive patient-specific decision support tool to facilitate the rupture risk assessment. It will lean on the link between the aneurysm shape clinically observed and a database derived from the mechanical characterization of aneurysms. To supply this database, a deformation device prototype of the arterial wall was developed. Its use coupled with medical imaging (spectral photon-counting computed tomography providing a spatial resolution down to 250 μm) is used to determine the mechanical properties of the wall based on the inverse analysis of the quantification of the wall deformation observed experimentally. This study presents the application of this original procedure to an animal model of aneurysm. The mechanical properties of the aneurysm wall identified were consistent with the literature, and the errors between the numerical and experimental results were less than 10%. Based on these parameters, this study allows the assessment of the aneurysm stress state for a known solicitation and points towards the definition of a rupture criterion.

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the vital physiological parameters, and its measurement is done routinely for almost all patients who visit hospitals. Cuffless BP measurement has been of great research interest over the last few years. In this paper, we aim to establish a method for cuffless measurement of BP using ultrasound.

Background: Paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells, with mediastinal paragangliomas representing an exceptionally rare subset. This report details the surgical management of a complex mediastinal paraganglioma case, presenting with refractory hypertension and invasion of critical surrounding structures. A comprehensive review of the current literature is included to underscore existing cases, enhance clinical awareness, and share our insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this challenging condition.

We hypothesized that PA flow characteristics vary according to PH etiology. In this study, we used 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to compare PA flow velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) between patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and pulmonary hypertension (PH-HFpEF).

Background And Aims: Exploring the effect of different isometric resistance training (IRT) on improving blood pressure, so as to provide important reference for the design of aerobic exercise prescription for IRT to improve blood pressure.
Methods: Forty eight overweight or obese college students with irregular exercise habits were randomly divided into four groups and underwent exercise intervention three times a week for a total of 6 weeks. Cardiovascular changes were evaluated before the first and 18th exercise sessions, as well as 0, 30, and 60 min after exercise.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of slope parameter images (SPI) from dual-phase dual-energy CT enterography (DE-CTE) for diagnosing and assessing Crohn's disease (CD) activity.
- Researchers analyzed data from 76 CD patients and 53 controls, finding significant differences in dual-phase SP and HU values between groups, indicating higher values in affected individuals.
- The findings suggest that the AP SP of mesenteric fat shows the highest diagnostic potential for CD, emphasizing the usefulness of SPI in both diagnosis and assessing inflammation levels.
