Many people who experience chest pain, but don’t have a heart attack, breathe a big sigh of relief when a stress test comes back negative for blockages in their blood vessels. But a new study by cardiac researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City found they may not be off […]
A global outbreak of Mycobacterium chimaera, an invasive, slow-growing bacterium, is linked to heater-cooler devices (HCD) used in cardiac surgery, according to a study. This study adds interim guidance to recent field reports on the outbreak, providing precautionary recommendations to hospitals and health systems to reduce the risk of infections. ‘It is surprising that a […]
For the first time, researchers have shown that using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can effectively identify bone marrow cancer (myelofibrosis) in an experimental model. The findings may change the way this disease is diagnosed which is now through invasive bone marrow biopsies. Myelofibrosis is a slow evolving condition hallmarked by increased myeloid cells and in […]
A new study led by clinician-researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) testing the safety and effectiveness of anticoagulant strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo stenting procedures has shown that therapies combining the anticoagulant drug rivaroxaban with either single or dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) were more effective in preventing bleeding complications than […]
Insulin injection, if you’ve never done it, takes two hands. One hand holds the insulin injector. The other hand pinches the skin, to form a bulge so the hormone enters fat under the skin while avoiding muscle, where it can be absorbed quickly enough to cause a seizure. ‘Normally, you have an automatic pancreas,’ says […]
A steady rise in the number of radiographers attending the European Congress of Radiology (ECR), and in particular their enthusiastic feedback, has led the ESR to offer more to cater especially to their needs and make the ECR the annual meeting and the place to be for all radiographers from 2017 onwards. The greatly expanded […]
The brain is the most temperature-sensitive organ in the body. Even small deviations in brain temperature are capable of producing profound effects-including behavioural changes, cell toxicity, and neuronal cell death. The problem faced by researchers and clinicians is how to measure and understand these changes in the brain and how they are influenced by complex […]
Extra-low dose combinat ion of two anticytokines reduces disease activity and cardiovascular events Immunotherapy reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, according to research presented by Professor Aida Babaeva, head of the Department of Internal Medicine, Volgograd State Medical University, Volgograd, Russia. The combination of two extralow dose anticytokine drugs reduced rheumatoid arthritis disease […]
During heart surgery, it is sometimes necessary to temporarily stop cardiac activity, a process known as cardioplegia. Specific myocardial protection techniques are necessary for pediatric use. At the 96th AATS Annual Meeting, cardiac surgeons present the results of a prospective, randomized trial of pediatric heart surgery patients that shows that the del Nido cardioplegia solution, […]
EPFL researchers have developed an innovative cardiac support system in the form of a small ring placed on the aorta. This device is less invasive than traditional methods and avoids problems of hemolysis and the need for regular transfusions because it does not come into direct contact with the blood. The heart is sometimes in […]
