The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
A look at the Sit-to-Stand protocol The Sit-to-Stand (STS) is a well-known test to quantify the ability of the patient to lift from a sitting position to a standing position. The STS maneuver is mainly used to assess lower limb strength, balance and also fall risk in elderly people [1]. There are several variations of the STS test, such as the five-repetition STS test (FRSTST) which report ...
Lifestyle can have a big impact on how your body handles blood glucose and sometimes a change in habits and activities is all that’s needed to prevent or better manage diabetes. But if changes in lifestyle aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels normal, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy. We’ll discuss here the most often ...
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia, it can potentially lead to other serious conditions and also increase the risk of stroke in patients who have AF. It is estimated that there are currently some 4.5 million confirmed cases of AF in the European Union and more than 2.3 million ...

Stroke is one of the most devastating and most prominent causes of disability around the globe, with 800,000 new cases each year in the US alone. During a stroke, the brain experiences an interruption in blood supply, which prevents the brain tissue from receiving the oxygen it needs to function properly. The most prevalent type of stroke is an ischemic stroke, which happens when a vessel that ...
1 billion people around the world are currently suffering from neurological disorders, and the number is growing by the day. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the healthcare system’s ability to effectively diagnose and treat these individuals. However, despite the growing numbers, action has not been taken by world leaders, creating a huge unmet need. This ...
Background and Purpose - Atrial fibrillation (AF) elevates risk of recurrent stroke but is incompletely identified by standard investigation after stroke, though detection rates correlate with monitoring duration. We hypothesized that 7 days of noninvasive cardiac-event monitoring early after stroke would accelerate detection of AF and thus uptake of effective therapy. Methods - We ...
