Is the optimal Tmax threshold identifying perfusion deficit volumes variable across MR perfusion software packages? A pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: The optimal Tmax threshold for defining the ischemic penumbra appeared to be most accurate at ≥ 6 s for package A and ≥ 10 s for package B. This implies that the widely recommended Tmax threshold ≥ 6 s may not be optimal for all available MRP software package. Future validation studies are required to define the optimal Tmax threshold to use for each package.PMID:36811716 | DOI:10.1007/s10334-023-01068-0

Comparison of magnetic resonance angiography techniques to brain digital subtraction arteriography in the setting of mechanical thrombectomy: A non-inferiority study
CONCLUSION: Both MRA techniques are inferior to brain DSA in localizing arterial occlusions in LVO-AIS patients despite addressing the migratory nature of the thrombus.PMID:35148908 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2021.12.009

Roselle for hypertension in adults
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence is currently insufficient to determine the effectiveness of Roselle compared to placebo for controlling or lowering blood pressure in people with hypertension. The certainty of evidence was very low due to methodological limitations, imprecision, and indirectness. There is a need for rigorous RCTs that address the review question.PMID:34837382 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007894.pub3

Want To Live Longer? Study Suggests You Should Ditch Soda
This study, as well as other research on the connection between diet and sugary beverages and health risks, is observational and cannot show cause and effect. That’s a major limitation, researchers say, as it’s impossible to determine whether the association is due to a specific artificial sweetener, a type of beverage, obesity or another hidden health issue. “The cause behind these associations isn’t clear,” said Bergquist. “Other potential biological causes could be attributed to experimental evidence linking consumption of artificial sweeteners to sugar cravings, appetite stimulation ...

Pinkies Up! There Could Be Some Real Health Benefits To Drinking Tea
Tea gets short shrift as coffee’s milder little sister. But these leaves may have a lot more to offer drinkers than just their subtle taste. Large, observational studies have found lifelong tea drinkers are less likely to face early cognitive decline and get certain types of cancer, stroke, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. We should also note that by “tea,” we mean the leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant that are plucked and processed in different ways to make black, green, white, oolong and pu’er teas -- not herbal infusions like peppermint, hibiscus and chamomile teas. Researchers ...

The Four Pillars of Longevity and Well-Being
by guest blogger Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, best-selling author and expert on health, fitness, and nutrition When I began my undergraduate years at the University of California-Berkeley, I chose cellular biology as my premed major. Enthused as I was with each course, I felt something was missing. Seeking an answer to my angst, I'd often take long, reflective walks around campus, through eucalyptus groves populated by cackling blue Steller's jays and verdant gardens punctuated by bright hibiscus and bougainvillea. And then it hit me: The answer was literally right under my nose. Gazing at the greenery around me, I realized h...
