The paper presents the case of a 55-year-old man whose body was found at home at the foot of the stairs. The inspection of the body at the scene showed that the probable cause of the man’s death was positional asphyxia after falling down the stairs.

In-Vitro MPI-Guided IVOCT Catheter Tracking in Real Time for Motion Artifact Compensation [PDF]
Purpose: Using 4D magnetic particle imaging (MPI), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) catheters are tracked in real time in order to compensate for image artifacts related to relative motion. Our approach demonstrates the feasibility for bimodal IVOCT and MPI in-vitro experiments. Material and Methods: During IVOCT imaging of a stenosis

Model-Based Pose Estimation of Steerable Catheters under Bi-Plane Image Feedback [PDF]
Small catheters undergo significant torsional deflections during endovascular interventions. A key challenge in enabling robot control of these catheters is the estimation of their bending planes. This paper considers approaches for estimating these bending planes based on bi-plane image feedback.

Hemodialysis Tunneled Catheter-Related Infections
Catheter-related bloodstream infections, exit-site infections, and tunnel infections are common complications related to hemodialysis central venous catheter use. The various definitions of catheter-related infections are reviewed, and various preventive

NeoCast is a next‐generation, solvent‐free, non‐adhesive liquid embolic designed for indications where deep occlusion is desired (e.g., tumors and chronic subdural hematoma). This novel agent offers ideal embolic properties: injectability, controllability, excellent visibility, and biocompatibility.

Comparison of Methods of Biofilm Detection in Urinary Candida Isolates and Evaluating its Role in Persistent Candiduria [PDF]
Introduction: Candiduria is a common finding in catheterised patients with increasing trend of non albicans Candida species. Biofilm formation on indwelling catheters leads to persistent colonisation ending up in infection in immunocompromised ...

Improving Catheter Segmentation & Localization in 3D Cardiac Ultrasound Using Direction-Fused FCN [PDF]
Fast and accurate catheter detection in cardiac catheterization using harmless 3D ultrasound (US) can improve the efficiency and outcome of the intervention. However, the low image quality of US requires extra training for sonographers to localize the catheter.

Neural Network Reconstruction of the Left Atrium using Sparse Catheter Paths [PDF]
Catheter based radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation has become the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation in recent years. This requires a rather accurate map of the left atrial sub-endocardial surface including the ostia of the pulmonary veins, which requires dense sampling of the surface and takes more than 10 minutes.
