Incidental findings on FDG-PET/CT in large vessel vasculitis
This study aims to determine the number and type of incidental findings detected on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in a cohort of patients with large vessel vasculitis (LVV). Reports from PET/CT studies along with the medical charts of a cohort of patients with LVV from a Rheumatology clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, were retrospectively reviewed. Incidental findings from PET/CT, along with follow-up studies and their diagnosis were documented. The data was analyzed with descriptive statistics. The disease activity of 40 patients, with an average age of 65.8 years, was investigated using PET/CT. A statisticall...

Syncope Evaluation: Evidence-Based and Economical
This study eliminated low-risk syncope patients and those with non-syncope transient loss of consciousness, such as seizure and head trauma, using a structured approach in the emergency department (ED), with only high-risk syncope patients being admitted. These high-risk syncope patients made up 28% of the patients included in the study. After admission, a simplified Wells’ pulmonary embolism criteria score was calculated, and a D-dimer was obtained. If either was high, the patient was scanned for PE and 17% were found to be positive, with two-thirds of those being found to have large-vessel pulmonary emboli. The bottom ...

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Inflammatory Biomarkers and Intracranial Hemorrhage after Endovascular Thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Higher neutrophil counts, low WBC counts, low lymphocyte counts, and low platelet to lymphoycyte ratio were baseline serology biomarkers that were associated with post-EVT hemorrhage. Our findings, particularly the association of diabetes mellitus and high neutrophil, support experimental data on the role of thromboinflammation in hemorrhagic transformation of large vessel occlusions.PMID:34548113 | DOI:10.1017/cjn.2021.197

Cerebral Microbleeds and White Matter Hyperintensities are Associated with Cognitive Decline in an Asian Memory Clinic Study
CONCLUSION: Strictly lobar CMBs, as well as WMH volume in anterior and posterior regions, were associated with cognitive decline. Future research focuses are warranted to evaluate interventions that may prevent cognitive decline related to SVD.PMID:34420506 | DOI:10.2174/1567205018666210820125543

Finding the everyday miracles in life
Last week I was writing about what it takes for a miracle to happen and one of my commentators, the lovely Patsy Collins who joined me on the podcast not that long ago, pointed out that there are all sorts of miracles that happen, including some everyday miracles we never know about, because they happen behind the scenes.
And it got me thinking about the all the little miracles that have happened in my life over the years. And, once I got thinking, I got into musing about what life would be like if they hadn’t happened. And, as it’s been a week of ups and downs on the exam front I thought I might as well start ...

Assessing the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of 18FLMI1195 in clinical imaging populations
Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest notable differences in the clearance and metabolic profiles of [18F]LMI1195 dependent on the given disease pathology. Radiotracer parent fraction can be equally measured by column-switching HPLC or SPE. These findings offer an important consideration for estimation of myocardial sympathetic nerve density using [18F]LMI1195 in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Dog Ownership Linked To 24% Lower Risk Of Dying Early, Research Shows
(CNN) — Need an excellent reason to add a dog to your life? How about living longer?
“Our analysis found having a dog is actually protective against dying of any cause,” said Mount Sinai endocrinologist Dr. Caroline Kramer, lead author of a new systematic review of nearly 70 years of global research published Tuesday in “Circulation,” a journal of the American Heart Association.
The review of the health benefits of man’s best friend analyzed research involving nearly 4 million people in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.
