Longitudinal cerebral perfusion in presymptomatic genetic frontotemporal dementia: GENFI results
DISCUSSION: Cerebral perfusion is a potential biomarker for assessing genetic FTD and its genetic subgroups prior to symptom onset.HIGHLIGHTS: Gray matter perfusion declines in at-risk genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Regional perfusion decline differs between at-risk genetic FTD subgroups . Hypoperfusion in the left thalamus is common across all presymptomatic groups. Converters exhibit greater right frontal hypoperfusion than non-converters past their expected conversion date. Cerebral hypoperfusion is a potential early biomarker of genetic FTD.PMID:38623902 | DOI:10.1002/alz.13750 (Source: The Journal of Alzheimers Association)

SPINNED: Simulation-based physics-informed neural network for deconvolution of dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI perfusion data
CONCLUSION: These results support that the proposed SPINNED method can be a good alternative to the existing methods for resolving the deconvolution problem in DSC MRI. The proposed method does not require any separate ground-truth measurement for training and offers additional benefits of quick processing time and coverage of diverse clinical scenarios. Consequently, it will contribute to more reliable, accurate, and rapid diagnoses in clinical applications compared with the previous methods including those based on supervised learning.PMID:38623911 | DOI:10.1002/mrm.30095 (Source: Magnetic Resonance in Medicine)

Uterine infusion strategies for infertile patients with recurrent implantation failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Intrauterine infusion of HCG, PBMC, G-CSF, and PRP are promising strategies for improving pregnancy outcomes for infertile patients with recurrent implantation failure. Among these treatments, PRP may be the best. More researches are required to explore the effect of drug combinations and less commonly used drugs as well.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Our study was registered in PROSPERO and the ID was CRD42023467188.PMID:38627790 | DOI:10.1186/s12958-024-01221-x (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Clinical outcomes in critically ill children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with severe thrombocytopenia
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate a restrictive platelet transfusion strategy is not associated with higher proportions of subsequent bleeding, duration of ECMO, or on-ECMO mortality rate. Multicenter studies are needed to evaluate further the appropriateness of this strategy.PMID:38626382 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241247981 (Source: Perfusion)

Isolated Fragments of Intact Microvessels: Tissue Vascularization, Modeling, and Therapeutics
ABSTRACTThe microvasculature is integral to nearly every tissue in the body, providing not only perfusion to and from the tissue, but also homing sites for immune cells, cellular niches for tissue dynamics, and cooperative interactions with other tissue elements. As a microtissue itself, the microvasculature is a composite of multiple cell types exquisitely organized into structures (individual vessel segments and extensive vessel networks) capable of considerable dynamics and plasticity. Consequently, it has been challenging to include a functional microvasculature in assembled or fabricated tissues. Isolated fragments of...

Post-ductal coarctation of aorta aneurysm repair in adult via left antero-axillary thoracotomy with antegrade cerebral perfusion —a case series
We describe our experience in managing three such patients through antero-lateral thoracotomy with antegrade cerebral perfusion. We have found this technique helpful in treating aneurysms of the distal aortic arch or proximal descending thoracic aorta. (Source: Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
