Researchers have linked specific gene mutations and brain function in Huntington’s disease (HD) patients by comparing trinucleotide (CAG) repeats with whole-brain connectivity via functional MRI (fMRI). Examining disease carriers and health controls, the researchers found CAG repeat length inversely correlates with an individual’s age at onset.

When patients experience blunt neck injuries—after a car accident, for example—follow-up MRI is not necessary after a CT scan comes back negative for spine instability, according to a new study published in JAMA Surgery.

Lesbian, gay and bisexual adults are likely to have poor cardiovascular health compared to heterosexual counterparts, according to findings presented March 20 at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Lifestyle conference in New Orleans.

Continuous anticoagulation with apixaban during atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation was found to be as safe as warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in a randomized trial of 633 patients.

A team of international researchers has developed new tissue-clearing protocols for the 3D imaging of human brain tissue that may help answer questions around microstructural anatomy.

Applying augmented reality (AR) to surgery may ultimately decrease medical errors made both inside and outside the operating room, according to an article published online by Harvard Business Review.

The case for PCSK9 inhibitors is strong following the American College of Cardiology’s 67th annual symposium in Orlando, Florida, but some physicians remain wary of the medication, citing gaps in clinical evidence and questioning if cardiology is ready for the widespread distribution of such pricey drugs.

Freezing the posterior vagal trunk, the nerve that sends hunger-related signals to the brain, could help patients with mild-to-moderate obesity lose weight, according to research presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) annual meeting in Los Angeles.

Renal computed tomography angiography (CTA) is an effective resource for radiologists with numerous benefits, but it requires the application of contrast medium that could potentially cause issues in patients with renal impairment.
