AI-Powered Plaque Classification: Revealing Peripheral Artery Disease With 9.4 Tesla MRI Histology
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) lesion composition impacts percutaneous vascular interventions (PVIs). Ultrashort echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate soft (e.g. fat, thrombus) and hard (calcification, dense collagen) tissue. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are valuable for analyzing complex medical imaging datasets. Our feasibility study aimed to semi-automatically differentiate soft/hard components in PAD lesions and assess crossability using 9.4 T MRI images, a custom-made AI-algorithm, and histological samples.

Gut microbiota's causative relationship with peripheral artery disease: a Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSION: Our findings hint at a causative association between certain gut microbiota and PAD, introducing new avenues for understanding PAD's etiology and developing effective treatments. The observed associations now warrant further validation in varied populations and detailed exploration at finer taxonomic levels.PMID:38505559 | PMC:PMC10948605 | DOI:10.3389/fmicb.2024.1340262 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

A multi-centre investigation of macrovascular and non-ocular microvascular complications in children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus in southern Ghana
CONCLUSIONS: Macrovascular and non-ocular microvascular complications are common among children and adolescents with diabetes in southern Ghana and are associated with a long duration of diabetes diagnosis, abnormal body mass index, low HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Therefore, the early institution of regular screening for diabetes-related complications to allow early detection and appropriate management is recommended.FUNDING: University of Ghana Research Fund.PMID:38504754 | PMC:PMC10846650 | DOI:10.4314/gmj.v57i2.2 (Source: Ghana Medical Journal)
