Personalised simulation of hemodynamics in cerebrovascular disease: lessons learned from a study of diagnostic accuracy
In this study, we performed the first quantitative validation of a simulation-based precision medicine framework to assess cerebral hemodynamics in patients with ICAD against clinical standard perfusion imaging. In a retrospective analysis, we used a 0-dimensional simulation model to detect brain areas that are hemodynamically vulnerable to subsequent stroke. The main outcome measures were sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC AUC) of the simulation to identify brain areas vulnerable to subsequent stroke as defined by quantitative measurements of relative mean transit ti...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1598: Cerebrovascular Disease in COVID-19
h N. Nguyen Not in the history of transmissible illnesses has there been an infection as strongly associated with acute cerebrovascular disease as the novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. While the risk of stroke has known associations with other viral infections, such as influenza and human immunodeficiency virus, the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke related to SARS-CoV-2 is unprecedented. Furthermore, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has so profoundly impacted psychosocial behaviors and modern medical care that we have witnessed shifts in epidemiology and have adapted our treatment practices to ...

The Great Contrast Shortage of 2022 —Lessons learnt in Australia
ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that the IBCM shortage crisis had a very significant impact on the delivery of healthcare. While V/Q scans could (partially) substitute for CTPA studies in suspected pulmonary emboli, there appeared to be no valid alternative for CTNA studies in stroke calls. The unexpected and critical shortage of IBCM forced healthcare professionals to conserve resources, prioritise indications, triage patients based on risk, explore alternate imaging strategies and prepare for similar events recurring in the future.

Applications for oral research in microgravity - lessons learned from burning mouth syndrome and ageing studies
J Med Life. 2023 Mar;16(3):381-386. doi: 10.25122/jml-2022-0285.ABSTRACTThe negative consequences of microgravity for the human body are central aspects of space travel that raise health problems. Altered functions of the same systems and treatment options are common points of spaceflight physiology, age-related diseases, and oral medicine. This work emphasizes the convergence of knowledge between pathophysiological changes brought on by aging, physiological reactions to microgravity exposure, and non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment methods that can be used in spaceflight. Sarcopenia, peripheral nerves alteratio...
