Natural Course of Dissecting Vertebrobasilar Artery Aneurysms without Stroke FELLOWS' JOURNAL CLUB
CONCLUSIONS: The natural course of these lesions suggests that acute intervention is not always required and close follow-up without antithrombotic therapy is reasonable. Patients with symptoms due to mass effect or aneurysms of >10 mm may require treatment.

SBOTE Study: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Versus Electrical Stimulation After Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection for Post-Stroke Spasticity–A Prospective Randomized Trial
Abstract: Research is on-going to identify new methods of biostimulation to increase the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of spasticity. The Spasticity treated by Botulinum Toxin and ESWT (SBOTE) study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) given immediately after BTX-A injections compared with electrical stimulation (ES) given immediately after BTX-A therapy for the management of focal upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. ES was given for 30 min twice a day for 5 days starting at 5 Hz; ESWT was given once a day for...

A Radiologist’s Primer on Bundles and Care Episodes
Publication date: Available online 18 May 2016 Source:Journal of the American College of Radiology Author(s): David Seidenwurm, Frank James Lexa Bundled or episode payments are among the most heavily emphasized approaches to aligning incentives and promoting care coordination, efficiency, and accountability in health care redesign. Bundled or episode payments price a market basket of services for an entire episode of care with both a clearly defined trigger and termination. Because the radiologist is “ancillary” in many bundles, the specialty is often unaware of the phenomenon. This is likely to change rapidly. Rad...
