LeFevre, a professor and physician at the University of Missouri, tells The Huffington Post. Today, he says, patients bring their information to him for his input. “They want my opinion about how good the information is and what it means and how to interpret it for them in their lives.” Of course, the Internet is rife with misinformation, and sometimes a well-meaning patient will ...

Design, synthesis, and negative inotropic evaluation of 4 ‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5(4H)‐one derivatives containing triazole or piperazine moieties
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Four novel series of 4‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5(4H)‐one derivatives containing triazole or piperazine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for negative inotropic activity. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated and a preliminary investigation of the mechanism of action of these compounds on the atrial dynamics was also conducted.

Carotid Artery Stenosis after Radiation Therapy in a Patient with Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review.
We reported a case of carotid artery stenosis with stroke symptoms detected in a patient with lung cancer after radiotherapy. The patient was a 58-year-old male with a complaint of \"a single episode of temporary amaurosis in the right eye for 10 minutes". The clinical diagnosis at admission, after consideration of the patient's age, medical history, and auxiliary examination results, was as follows: lung cancer; right common carotid artery stenosis; left common carotid artery stenosis; left vertebral artery stenosis; and right subclavian artery occlusion with right subclavian steal syndrome (Grade 3). Carotid angioplasty...

CT diagnostic reference levels based on clinical indications: results of a large-scale European survey
ConclusionsThis is the first study reporting on feasibility of establishing CT DRLs based on CI using European data. Resulting values will serve as a baseline for comparison with local radiological practice, national authorities when DRLs are set/updated, or as a guideline for local DRL establishment.Key Points•First study reporting on the feasibility of establishing CT diagnostic reference levels based on clinical indication using data collected across Europe.•Only one-fourth of the hospitals had CT machines less than 5 years old.•Large dose variations were observed among hospitals and CT protocols were quite differ...

DROSHA rs10719 and DICER1 rs3742330 polymorphisms in endometriosis and different diseases: Case-control and review studies.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that only the DICER1 rs3742330 A > G polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to endometriosis. The frequencies of both polymorphisms were significantly different among populations, and there were discrepancies in the risk associations with the development of diseases.

Diagnostic reference levels and median doses for common clinical indications of CT: findings from an international registry
ConclusionsDRLs for CTDIvol and DLP for EUCLID clinical indications from diverse organizations were established and can contribute to dose optimization. These values were usually significantly higher in the US than in Europe.Key Points•Registry data were used to create benchmarks for 10 common indications for CT identified by the European Society of Radiology.•Observed US radiation doses were higher than European for 9 of 10 indications (except chronic sinusitis).•The presented diagnostic reference levels and median doses highlight potentially unnecessary variation in radiation dose.

Assessment of thrombectomy procedure difficulty by neurointerventionalists based on vessel geometry parameters from carotid artery 3D reconstructions
CONCLUSIONS: Examining the vessel metrics and providing detailed vascular data tailored to patient characteristics may result in better procedure preparation, facilitate faster vessel access time, and improve thrombectomy outcomes. Additionally, documenting these correlations can enhance device design to ensure they suitably function under various vessel conditions.PMID:37262981 | DOI:10.1016/j.jocn.2023.05.014
