Outcomes and risk factors of hemorrhage in patients with resected brain metastases

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Brain metastases may present with hemorrhage, yet risk factors and clinical outcomes remain unclear. Based on a cohort of 880 patients with resected brain metastases, this study identified tumor volume and primary tumor histology (melanoma and non‐small cell lung cancer) as key predictors of hemorrhage.

Chromatic PAC-Bayes Bounds for Non-IID Data: Applications to Ranking and Stationary $\beta$-Mixing Processes

, 2009
Pac-Bayes bounds are among the most accurate generalization bounds for classifiers learned from independently and identically distributed (IID) data, and it is particularly so for margin classifiers: there have been recent contributions showing how ...

Changes in symptoms and fibroid characteristics in women treated with ultrasound‐guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The main objective was to describe women with fibroids who were treated with ultrasound‐guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) and to evaluate the outcomes at least 6 months after treatment.

Thoracic Ultrasound–Related Management Change: Predictors and the Role of Operator Certification (Secondary Analysis of UltraMAN)

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Thoracic ultrasound frequently altered ICU management decisions. Changes were more likely in patients with cardiovascular disease or hypovolemia and occurred independently of operator certification. These findings support the routine use of TUS in critically ill patients, even when performed by less‐experienced but supervised operators.

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Non‐Subtractive Arterial Spin Labeling‐Based (NSASL) Renal Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA): Development and Clinical Feasibility Evaluation

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐contrast renal MR angiography (MRA) is valuable for patients who cannot receive contrast agents or when avoiding radiation is desired. However, the conventional inflow inversion recovery (IFIR) method is limited by incomplete background suppression, venous contamination, and motion sensitivity.

Quantitative Real‐Time MRI for the Assessment of Gastric Motility

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Current reference standards for measuring gastric emptying and motility are not considered optimal due to the time required, ionizing radiation, invasiveness, and spatial resolution. Purpose To assess gastric motility using novel real‐time dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in combination with static measurements for gastric ...
