A conference on neurology is described by reporters as "shambolic," offering only bare bones presentations and accommodations. And the number of these events may be on the rise.

Even grafts that represent the current gold standard for bypass surgeries are associated with high failure rates, researchers noted. They think these 3D-printed blood vessels could provide considerable value.
Dose reduction protocols vary across scanners and organizations. This can create inconsistencies in both image quality and measuring patients’ total radiation exposure.

The BiVACOR technology was designed to serve as a bridge to heart transplant in patients with end-stage heart failure. Based on rotary blood pump technology, it is made of titanium and approximately the size of an adult’s fist.
New one-year data suggests transseptal MViV with a Sapien 3 heart valve is a "favorable and safe procedure." Researchers plan to follow patients for a total of 10 years.
"Our joint efforts aim to leverage the power of imaging foundation models to improve experiences and workflow efficiency across the radiology ecosystem," one company leader noted.
Many in this group of high-earning IRs have held hospital leadership positions or authored clinical guidelines, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
![Researchers have developed artificial blood vessels that could be as strong and durable as the real things, publishing their work in Advanced Materials Technologies.[1] The group hopes its work could go on to make a significant impact in care for heart bypass patients.](/sites/default/files/styles/top_stories/public/2024-07/screenshot_2024-07-25_at_2.38.35_pm.png.webp?itok=imSyZnHs)
