The Virtual Skeleton Database: An Open Access Repository for Biomedical Research and Collaboration
Conclusions: The VSD is a novel system for scientific collaboration for the medical image community with a data-centric concept and semantically driven search option for anatomical structures. The repository has been proven to be a useful tool for collaborative model building, as a resource for biomechanical population studies, or to enhance segmentation algorithms.

Impact of medical academic genealogy on publication patterns: An analysis of the literature for surgical resection in brain tumor patients
“Academic genealogy” refers to the linking of scientists and scholars based on their dissertation supervisors. We propose that this concept can be applied to medical training and that this “medical academic genealogy” may influence the landscape of the peer‐reviewed literature. We performed a comprehensive PubMed search to identify US authors who have contributed peer‐reviewed articles on a neurosurgery topic that remains controversial: the value of maximal resection for high‐grade gliomas (HGGs). Training information for each key author (defined as the first or last author of an article) was collected (eg, a...

Informational and Supportive Care Needs of Brain Metastases Patients and Caregivers: a Systematic Review
Abstract While brain metastases (BM) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, the needs of BM patients and their caregivers (CGs) remain largely unknown. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize (a) the informational needs of BM patients and CGs, (b) their supportive care needs, and (c) studies evaluating existing programs and resources addressing one or more of informational needs. A systematic search was conducted in four databases to identify studies, published from 2000 to April 2015, discussing informational or supportive care needs of BM patients and/or their CGs. Duplicate scre...

Top Ten Medical Research Issues and Trends to Watch in 2017
2016 will go down as a year that taught us to question our assumptions. The election of Donald Trump, an outcome almost no one predicted, left many with a sense of uncertainty about what 2017 will bring in the biomedical and health-care space. To bring clarity to these unsure times, FasterCures has compiled a list of issues critical to the future of medical innovation that we'll be tracking over the coming year. While some issues will be closely linked with the people and policies of the new presidential administration, we think all will be important to continuing the progress toward faster cures and treatments. 1. FDA...

The effect of pain-education nursing based on a mind map on postoperative pain score and quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer
This study aimed to investigate the impact of pain-education nursing with the aid of mind maps on postoperative pain scores and quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer. The medical records of 100 colorectal cancer patients treated from July 2020 to July 2022 were selected as retrospective research participants and divided into control and observation groups. The control group received routine pain care, and the observation group was given pain-education nursing based on a mind map. The effects on quality of life, pain, negative emotions, and comfort after nursing were compared between the 2 groups. There was no ...

Medical Management of Patients With Brain Tumors
Purpose of Review:: This review provides management recommendations for medical and neurologic problems in patients with brain tumors, including vasogenic edema, infections, seizures, prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism, drug interactions, cognitive and emotional problems, palliative symptom management, and long-term sequelae of brain tumors and their therapy. Recent Findings:: Non–enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs are the preferred category of seizure medication for patients with brain tumors, and levetiracetam is emerging as the drug of choice. Select groups of patients, such as those with cortically ...

Introduction To The Cancer Imaging Archive -A Service With Many Potential UsesFor Teaching and Research Examples of Its Use Demonstrated
Conclusions The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) provides de-identified images and metadata from many patients with various tumors. Additional submissions are encouraged. It can be used for a variety of purposes by basic Imaging Researchers at many different levels to Clinicians. Currently, it appears underutilized in NM and MI. It is available to all as a resource $$graphic_D6A319A5-945E-4B23-8278-76505FDB8D91$$

Having A College Education Linked To This Serious Health Risk
People with higher levels of education may be more likely to develop certain types of brain tumors, a new study from Sweden suggests. Researchers found that women who completed at least three years of university courses were 23 percent more likely to develop a type of cancerous brain tumor called glioma, compared with women who only completed up to nine years of mandatory education and did not go to a university. And men who completed at least three years of university courses were 19 percent more likely to develop the same type of tumor, compared with men who did not go to a university. Though the reasons behind the link ...

Franz Joseph Gall on the Cerebellum as the Organ for the Reproductive Drive
This article examines Gall’s earlier subcortical organs, with an emphasis on why he associated the cerebellum with this drive. It draws from accounts by several physicians, who attended his Vienna lectures or heard him speak in Germany and the Netherlands in 1805–1806 [i.e., before he published his finalized list in his Anatomie et Physiologie (1810–1819)]. These early accounts show that early on he localized at least four faculties in brainstem structures, including a reproductive drive in the cerebellar cortex. He based his structure–function association primarily on cranial differences be...

Volunteers With No Medical Training Are Fighting Diseases The World Ignores
This article is part of HuffPost’s Project Zero campaign, a yearlong series on neglected tropical diseases and efforts to fight them. For people suffering from painful diseases in remote parts of the world, neighbors volunteering as health educators can be their best shot at getting help. Ordinary people, without any formal medical training, have stepped up to teach others about common illnesses in the province of Nampula, Mozambique, which has one of the highest rates of neglected tropical diseases in the country ― but where many people live in remote, rural communities, far from any health centers. As p...

Hitachi wins FDA 510(k) for Supria CT system
Hitachi (NYSE:HIT) said yesterday it won FDA 510(k) clearance for its Supria 16-slice CT system imaging platform. The new device features a compact design and a Smart-Dose compliant dose saving system that can reduce the amount of radiation for the patient undergoing imaging, the company said. “Supria demonstrates Hitachi’s continuing commitment to provide superior product value by combining the latest imaging technologies in a design that while compact, still affords the premium patient accommodation features of more expensive systems including a 75cm gantry aperture, standard 1.8 meter scannable range table with...

A Patch-Based Approach for the Segmentation of Pathologies: Application to Glioma Labelling
In this paper, we describe a novel and generic approach to address fully-automatic segmentation of brain tumors by using multi-atlas patch-based voting techniques. In addition to avoiding the local search window assumption, the conventional patch-based framework is enhanced through several simple procedures: an improvement of the training dataset in terms of both label purity and intensity statistics, augmented features to implicitly guide the nearest-neighbor-search, multi-scale patches, invariance to cube isometries, stratification of the votes with respect to cases and labels. A probabilistic model automatically delinea...

Targeted therapy in lung cancer —ASCO 2019 update
SummaryNew targeted therapies for patients with non small cell lung cancer were presented at this year ’s ASCO.EGFR exon 20 insertions might soon be treatable with TAK-788, which showed an objective response rate (ORR) of between 25 and 56% with a disease control rate (DCR) between 67 and 100% depending on the presence or absence of brain metastases at baseline. Capmatinib and tepotinib showed durable responses inMET exon 14 mutations as presented in the phase II GEOMETRY trial and the VISION trial. The median duration of response (DOR) was 9.7 months with a median progression free survival (PFS) of 5.42 months in pretre...
