TEE Bicaval view : An anatomical orientation
Bicaval view is an Important TEE view to visualize, the LA, IAS, and right atrium. I used to have some trouble getting oriented to this view. Hence this post. It is obtained in the 90-120 degree view at the mid esophageal position. Imagine the patient is lying on his left side and the probe comes from above down between the spine and heart to the LA from within the esophagus. This is the best view to see IAS in the profile.(Subcostal TTE can also do it) Note how the LA hugs the right atrium which is actually an ill-defined (In TEE I mean) common meeting point of both IVC and SVC. Also important is the relationship of RUPV ...

CogHear auditory-motor interaction discussion
I led a discussion on auditory-motor interactions with the CogHear group today. There were many interesting questions written in the chat window. Here I quote and respond to them. My responses are initalics. If you are interesting in watching the live discussion, contact Malcom Slaney: malcolm@ieee.orgMatt Leonard9:20 AMIs "the motor system" defined here solely based on canonical anatomy? Or does it also have a functional definition? We look at the question both ways, but with an emphasis on the functional definition.

BioethicsTV: (November 1-15, 2020): COVID, COVID, COVID
by Craig Klugman, Ph.D.
The Good Doctor (Season 4: Episodes 1-3); Chicago Med (Season 6; Episode 1-2);Greys Anatomy (Season 17: Episodes 1-3): The COVID Episodes.
This spring and summer there was a question about whether there would be a fall television season. The usual busy spring filming season was delayed due to COVID-19 and for some shows, production was canceled. While editing and adding sound can be done remotely, filming multiple actors on a well-known set can only be done in person.… (Source: blog.bioethics.net)

The resident made the diagnosis immediately. The faculty was not as certain.
This was sent by one of our G2 residents, working at a different hospital." A 50-something male with a history of hyperlipidemia but no known cardiac history woke up with sudden onset substernal pressure and nausea/vomiting and diaphoresis. "EMS recorded this ECG: What do you think?" The medics were concerned by the story and they saw some ST Depression in the inferior leads and so they gave ASA and nitro with some relief. On arrival to ED we got a 12-lead ECG and looked at the prehospital EKG. " Here is that first ED ECG:Resident: " My interpretation was STD in II, III, and aVF with hyperacute T waves in aV...

ASD device closure: “ Mind the gap ” to avoid SA nodal artery compression.
The branching pattern of the human cardio-vascular tree is as unique as one’s fingerprint. One such hugely variable anatomy is the SA nodal blood supply.
Certain salient features
Variation can be seen in origin, course, and termination.
Now it is estimated to arise from RCA in 70% (Moved up from 55% in old studies )
From LCX (25%)
Dual SA node supply(5%)
Direct from Aorta
It is heartening to find this good anatomical review on this topic.

Symani Microsurgical System Cleared in Europe
Medical Microinstruments (MMI), a company based outside of Pisa, Italy, won the European CE Mark of approval for its Symani robotic surgical system. The product provides 7-20X scaling of hand movements, automatically removing tremors to allow for safe microsurgical and supermicrosurgical procedures. It is hoped that this impressive new device can help to improve how free-flap reconstructions, replantations, peripheral nerve repairs and lymphatic surgery are performed.
Surgeons operate on the Symani via its console that includes a built-in chair, manipulators, and a series of foot switches. The system relies on th...

FDA Clears Most Powerful Clinical MRI
GE Healthcare won FDA clearance for its SIGNA 7.0T MRI scanner, currently the most powerful device available for clinical applications. A high end scanner’s magnetic field typically tops out at 3 Tesla, but the new device goes all the way up to 7 Tesla to provide an unprecedented look at highly detailed anatomy.
Certainly intended for neurological applications, the SIGNA 7.0T should also be useful for imaging of metabolism, function, and of joints that can’t be properly seen with even a 3 Tesla device. Besides clinical use, the same scanner can just as readily be utilized for research.
In addition to raw ...
