Researchers in Boston are set to co-lead a long-term study on the aging brain and factors that make individuals more vulnerable to neural injury and cognitive decline.
The team’s work will emphasize the role of specialized MRI techniques capable of detecting subtle changes around tumors with the help of pH-based imaging.
Using a virtual reality headset, the system, dubbed AR-VIU (augmented real-time volumetric imaging in ultrasound), creates a 3D rendering of anatomy based on 2D ultrasound images.
The CDC defines severe obesity, or class III obesity, as any patient with a BMI of 40 or higher. TAVR among these patients is not associated with a lower survival rate, but it does lead to many more risks.
Heart teams can limit the risk of conduction disturbances that lead to permanent pacemaker implantation by utilizing both the cusp-overlap method and intracardiac echocardiography.
When patients with pacemakers die, what happens to the device? Typically, it ends up being discarded and forgotten—they were designed to be single-use devices, after all—but that does not have to be the case.
