Cerenovus Receives FDA Nod for EMBOTRAP II
Johnson & Johnson’s Cerenovus unit has received an FDA nod to market the EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device. The device is a next generation stent retriever used to capture and remove life-threatening blood clots from the brain following an ischemic stroke. The EMBOTRAP II Device is designed to rapidly restore blood flow by gripping and retrieving clots within the neurovasculature, with minimal compression, protecting against further complications. The device is indicated for use within eight hours of stroke symptom onset. In the ARISE II study, which was submitted as part of the 510(k) application to FDA, neuroint...

Functional MRI of Letter Cancellation Task Performance in Older Adults
Conclusion The present work is the first to identify neural correlates of the LCT using fMRI and tablet technology in a healthy aging population. Across all ages, the activation was found to be bilateral, including in the cerebellum, superior temporal lobe, precentral gyrus, frontal gyrus, and various occipital and parietal areas. With increasing age, performance generally decreased and brain activity was reduced in the supplementary motor area, middle and inferior frontal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, putamen and cerebellum. Better LCT performance was correlated with increased activity in the middle frontal gyrus, and r...
