Development of a new body weight estimation method using head CT scout images
CONCLUSIONS: The presented new method is a potentially valuable support tool for medical staff, such as doctors and nurses, in estimating weight during emergency examinations for patients with acute conditions such as stroke when obtaining accurate weight measurements is not easily feasible.PMID:37545250 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230087

Predictive performance of aortic arch calcification for clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome that undergo percutaneous coronary intervention: A prospective clinical study
Currently, little is known regarding the predictive utility of aortic arch calcification (AAC) for clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The present study was designed to investigate the predictive performance of AAC as detected by chest x-ray for clinical outcomes among ACS patients undergoing PCI.
A total of 912 patients who were diagnosed as ACS and treated with PCI were included in this prospective, cohort study. All study participants received chest x-rays on admission, and a semiquantitative 4-point scale was used to assess the extent o...

How AI Is Changing Medical Imaging to Improve Patient Care
That doctors can peer into the human body without making a single incision once seemed like a miraculous concept. But medical imaging in radiology has come a long way, and the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-driven techniques are going much further: exploiting the massive computing abilities of AI and machine learning to mine body scans for differences that even the human eye can miss.
Imaging in medicine now involves sophisticated ways of analyzing every data point to distinguish disease from health and signal from noise. If the first few decades of radiology were about refining the resolution of the pictures taken of...

The effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on large neurogenic heterotopic ossification in a patient with pontine hemorrhage: A case report and literature review
We report a case of a 36-year-old man who developed HO around both hip joints 3 months after bilateral pontine hemorrhage.
Interventions:
Seven months after HO development, ESWT was administered to the area of HO every other day for a total of 10 sessions.
Outcomes:
Immediately following treatment, the ROM of both hip joints increased. Thus the patient was able to maintain a sitting posture without having to be bound to the wheelchair. In addition, the tolerable sitting time before groaning increased from less than ten minutes to almost 60 minutes by the end of all ESWT sessions. Unlike other previous reports...

Unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to lipomatosis of the median nerve
An otherwise healthy 54-year-old right-handed woman referred to our clinic for a 6-year long history of untreated unilateral right carpal tunnel syndrome. No additional comorbidities, syndromes or a significant medical history were reported and no previous traumas to the affected forearm/hand could be recalled: in addition, anamnestic data showed no familial history or carpal tunnel syndrome or of other relevant neuropathies. The patient reported progressive deteriorating painful paresthesia (numbness, burning pain, gradual sensory loss) in the area innervated by median nerve and homolateral decreased grip strength. The sy...

Ella’s story: Two rare diseases and the NICU roller coaster ride
“Everyone tells you that the NICU is a roller coaster ride. What they don’t tell you is that it’s a customized roller coaster ride just for you. You never know what’s coming at you next,” says Carrie Shea, whose daughter Ella spent her first three months of life in Boston Children’s Hospital NICU.
Today, Ella is a “remarkably normal little girl,” says Carrie. It’s quite a feat for the three-year-old who was born with GACI (generalized arterial calcification of infancy), an extremely rare condition with an 85 percent mortality rate, and diagnosed with PKU (phenylketonuria), a second rare genetic disorder, ...

On the Opportunities and Challenges in Microwave Medical Sensing and Imaging
Widely used medical imaging systems in clinics currently rely on X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. The aforementioned technologies provide clinical data with a variety of resolution, implementation cost, and use complexity, where some of them rely on ionizing radiation. Microwave sensing and imaging (MSI) is an alternative method based on nonionizing electromagnetic (EM) signals operating over the frequency range covering hundreds of megahertz to tens of gigahertz. The advantages of using EM signals are low health risk, low cost implementation, low operat...
