Coupling drugs combine the precise targeting and potent killing properties, has become a widely recognized form of medication in recent years. Radioactive drug conjugates (RDCs), as a particular form of coupling drugs, are formed by combining radioactive isotopes with disease-targeting molecules. According to the application of RDCs, they can be divided into two main categories: diagnostic RDCs ...
Abstract: A concern regarding osteochondral autograft transfer for chondral defects is donor-site morbidity of the knee, the most common source of the autograft. To avoid the drawbacks of osteochondral autograft transfer, a cylindrical osteoperiosteal graft harvested from the iliac crest covered by a same-sized cylinder of hyaluronic acidebased polymer scaffold pretreated with bone marrow ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old female had a ground-level fall. Computed tomography imaging showed sacral insufficiency fractures in the left ala. No lumbar fracture was observed. Conservative treatment was initiated but the patient was referred 6 weeks post injury, unable to mobilize with a walker and needing a wheelchair. There was no anterior pelvic pain with palpation or weight bearing, but ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 28-year-old male complained of left hip pain after a motor vehicle accident. There were no other significant injuries to be ...
ABSTRACT Previous subgroup analyses from the ACTIVE trial in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (NCT01343004) using three-dimensional (3D)-processing of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans indicated greater increases in total hip cortical volumetric bone mineral density (Ct.vBMD) and estimated indices of hip strength following 18 months of abaloparatide (ABL) versus placebo or ...
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, ...
Despite breast cancer being the second most common cancer for women in the US, progress in the breast imaging space has been stagnant over the last few decades. This is evident in the countless women who are still misdiagnosed – either receiving a false positive or getting diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Why Early Detection is Important According to the National Breast ...
Revolutionizing breast cancer detection Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women.1 It is also treatable if detected early enough. While there are various cancer detection modalities available, current breast imaging devices fail to expose as much as 35% of breast cancers and that number increases to ...
Installing HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX to improve passenger experience, security, throughput and operational efficiency at the central passenger screening checkpoint at Donegal Airport Ireland. LEADING THE WAY TO ECAC EDS CB C3 Donegal has long been famous for its spectacular coastline and an airport offering the ‘Most Scenic Approach in the World’ – now, the airport is also ...
By combining different cell populations in a fibrin bioink, researchers from Trinity College Dublin, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University of Illinois Chicago were able to sprout an in vitro microvessel network that was then exploited to prevascularise a 3D printed scaffold implanted in a critical size femoral defect using REGENHU bioprinter. This dual approach was observed to ...

A new study was published in March of 2021 demonstrating that elevated liver stiffness, as measured by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). As clinical researchers, regulators and pharmaceutical partners pursue noninvasive biomarkers to replace liver biopsy, links to adverse ...
Summary Specialist design, planning and implementation Located on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way coastline, Kerry Airport services one of the country’s premier tourist destinations. To ensure the highest levels of security and a superior customer experience, the decision was made to replace existing passenger checkpoint security scanners with the latest ECAC EDS CB C3 compliant ...
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...
February 9, 2021—Findings from the first-in-human (FIH) study assessing the safety and feasibility of the Bashir endovascular catheter (BEC; Thrombolex, Inc.) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) were published by Akhilesh K. Sista, MD, et al in Circulation: Cardiovascular Intervention (2021;14). The BEC is a pharmacomechanical device designed to enhance ...
By: Ali Ibrahim Shar, Gul Afshan Soomro, Ghulam Abbas Shar, Muhammad Bachal Korai Abstract Forty (40) specimens of the gallstones were taken from the infected peoples who were admitted and cured in the Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women, Shaheed Benazirabad, Nawabshah, Sindh, Pakistan. In our work gallstones (total 40) were found in the age ranges from 20-60 years for ...
Our current daily activities bear little resemblance to the routines as of as recently as a month ago. COVID-19 has had an obvious and significant impact on the American people. For those suffering from chronic conditions such as dementia, diabetes, heart and respiratory disease, the health impact during traumatic periods such as this is magnified. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our ...
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. The Lifting Intervention For Training Muscle and Osteoporosis Rehabilitation for Men (LIFTMOR-M) trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two novel, supervised, twice-weekly, high-intensity exercise programs in middle-aged and older ...
New results support the feasibility of an entirely extracardiac pacing method in a heterogeneous patient population, using a minimally invasive, parasternal delivery approach, with adequate sensing and thresholds suited for temporary pacing. The study, authored by Anne-Floor BE Quast, Niek EG Beurskens (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and colleagues, was recently published in ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a frequently used diagnostic imaging modality that may be an alternative to other types of radiologic imaging (e.g., computerized tomography, nuclear medicine imaging). It can detect soft tissue characteristics (e.g., inflammation), and because magnetic resonance (MR) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images, it does not expose patients to ...
Abstract Background/objectives: Various adipose tissue compartments play an important role in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. The quantity of different fat compartments is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the magnitude of genetic and environmental effects on epicardial, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (EAT, SAT and ...
