How does menopause affect women's cerebral blood flow?
Arterial spin labeling MRI shows that alterations in women's cerebral blood flow begin during perimenopause and may be due to an increased burden of white-matter hyperintensities, researchers have reported.The study results may suggest ways women transitioning through menopause can be supported as their risk of cerebrovascular disease rises, wrote a team led by Wei Guo, PhD, of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University in Taian, China. The group's findings were published October 18 in Stroke."[Our] findings mark the menopause transition as a unique phase in women's life with altered cerebral perfu...

Imaging Biometrics touts IB Neuro study
Advanced visualization software firm Imaging Biometrics highlighted a study featuring its IB Neuro software for assessing brain tumors.IB Neuro performs quantitative analysis of MRI dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) studies, a common perfusion MRI exam for evaluating brain tumors, according to the vendor.In the study, published September 28 in Nature Communications, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona obtained multiple biopsies from different regions of tumors in patients with high-grade gliomas. They recorded the precise location of each biopsy using stereotactic coordinates.Then, each biopsy sample was matched ...

When does life end? New organ donation strategy fuels debate
On a chilly holiday Monday in January 2020, a medical milestone passed largely unnoticed. In a New York City operating room, surgeons gently removed the heart from a 43-year-old man who had died and shuttled it steps away to a patient in desperate need of a new one.
More than 3500 people in the United States receive a new heart each year. But this case was different—the first of its kind in the country. “It took us 6 months to prepare,” says Nader Moazami, surgical head of heart transplantation at New York University (NYU) Langone Health, where the operation took place. The run-up included oversight from an eth...
