This is a really informative read, would advise any practitioner looking to proactively help their patients improve their healthspan by focusing upon reducing or preventing their Atherosclerotic risk , interesting that new QR4 cardiovascular risk tool includes additional risk factors that cause inflammation,

The #OneStop management approach for acute ischemic #stroke patients leads to shorter times in the hospital and better functional outcomes. The latest study from Manuel Requena et al. has proven that a one-stop approach is additionally cost-effective compared to the standard workflow. What is missing at the moment is a study proving the high #sensitivity and #specificity of FDCT in the detection of cerebral hemorrhage, compared to the gold standard MDCT. Differentiating ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke allows us to initiate stroke treatment with thrombolysis (IVT). We at the University Hospital Basel have started, in cooperation with Semmes Murphey Clinic in Memphis, USA, and Dr. Adam Arthur, the #SPINNERS trial. With this study, we want to prove that an angiography system with Sine Spin technology is the right tool to diagnose and treat acute stroke patients.

Unraveling the Mystery of Tricuspid Atresia Tricuspid atresia is a rare, congenital heart defect where the tricuspid valve is absent or underdeveloped. It's the 3rd most common cyanotic heart condition, often causing low oxygen levels and left ventricular hypertrophy. This comprehensive entry delves into the anatomical features, classifications, diagnostic techniques, and treatment options for this complex heart disease. 👨⚕️ Discover the fascinating insights and stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in managing this challenging congenital anomaly. https://lnkd.in/gaXCGFtE #TricuspidAtresia #CongenitalHeartDefect #Cardiology #MedicalResearch

Can non-contrast flatdetector CT be compared to multi slice CT? Identifying the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) is one of the first steps in any stroke workflow. Currently, the diagnosis is made using a noncontrast multidetector CT scan. However, recent studies showed that considerable time can be saved – and superior outcomes achieved – if the patient is diagnosed and treated using a single system in the angio suite. For further investigation of this question, an investigator-initiated prospective multicenter trial called SPINNERS was initiated by Marios Psychogios, Prof. Dr. from Universitätsspital Basel (USB) in Switzerland and Adam Arthur from Semmes Murphey Clinic in Memphis, USA.  Study objectives includes evaluation of intracranial hemorrhage detection in stroke patients, using flatdetector CT imaging performed with syngo DynaCT Sine Spin. If the outcome of the study shows non-inferiority of flatdetector CT, this will support the one-stop-management (or angio only) approach which may improve diagnosis, door to needle time and, subsequently, the outcome for acute ischemic stroke patients.

As stroke is the no. 1 leading cause of permanent long-term disabilities and counts for approximately 46$ billion in the United States, research is important to improve clinical outcome for patients. Yet a number of studies have shown that using a single system to diagnose and treat patients in the angio suite can greatly accelerate treatment and improve outcomes. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of non-contrast flatdetector CT compared to multi slice CT an investigator-initiated multi-center clinical trial called SPINNERS was initiated by Marios Psychogios, Prof. Dr. from University Hospital Basel in Switzerland and Adam Arthur from Semmes Murphey Clinic in Memphis, USA.  If the outcome of the study shows non-inferiority of flatdetector CT, this will support the one-stop-management (or angio only) approach which may improve diagnosis, door to needle time and, subsequently, the outcome for acute ischemic stroke patients. This step in research is an important milestone to lift stroke treatment to the next level. Kudos to the two investigators for focusing on this meaningful topic.

Fundus Albipunctatus isn't always stationary, and RLBP1 mutations don't necessarily lead to Retinitis Punctata Albescens. While this may be familiar to IRD specialists, raising broader awareness is crucial for accurate patient counseling. As always, a shoutout to my colleague Lorenzo Bianco for his exceptional work, and thanks to Prof. Isabelle audo for the opportunity.

Sharing a fascinating case of cryobiopsy from the 4L left paratracheal mediastinal lymph node. This node often presents with the distinctive ‘Mickey Mouse’ appearance on EBUS, providing a helpful landmark for accurate localization and sampling. Cryobiopsy continues to push the boundaries of diagnostic precision, offering excellent tissue quality even in complex cases. Proud to incorporate these advanced techniques into daily practice to enhance patient care. #InterventionalPulmonology #Cryobiopsy #EBUS #PulmonaryMedicine #AdvancingDiagnostics Erbe Bronchoscopy
