🔬Have you read this new #OpenAccess paper "A comparison of fixation and immunofluorescence protocols for successful reproducibility and improved signal in human left ventricle cardiac tissue"? The paper is free-to-view here > https://lnkd.in/e5Qsdaq8

Are you confident that you could catch and treat a cardiac tamponade? If not, why not watch our new Cardiac Tamponade course (it takes less than an hour!) and review measuring pulsus paradoxus, performing US-guided pericardiocentesis, differentiating effusions from tamponade, managing pericardial drains, and more?

Gamma Knife - The Technology 👉 thousands of radiation beams are generated, about the thickness of a strand of hair. Individually, each radiation beam is too weak to damage the normal tissues it crosses on the way to the target. When focused precisely on that target? 👇 The beams intersect and the combined radiation is sufficient to treat the specific area. Because of its accuracy, the full dose of radiation can usually be delivered during a single session. State-of-the-art treatment, being delivered to a growing number of patients! 👏

Do you measure PI? If you do, do you understand it? Perfusion Index (PI) is an important feature available on nearly all models of cardiac monitor, which allow you to measure the efficacy of your SPO2 measurement, by numerically evaluating the perfusion of the digit on which the SPO2 probe is located.

Tips and tricks of vascular anastomoses.

Tip of the day 💡: The key questions for radiologists when assessing craniopagus are: 1. Are the brains separated; 2. Is there vascular sharing- arterial and venous. So, get a good volume T1, T2, MRA and MRV at baseline. Stick to key principles this weekend.

Comaneci-assisted venous thrombecromy: an adequate technique for cerebral venous thrombecromy is lacking, arterial devices are underdimentioned for venous sinuses. Comaneci device could be useful to disrupt and mobilize the thrombotic bulk.

The AngioJet Thrombectomy System rapidly removes clots and restores blood flow using Active Aspiration and Power Pulse™ lytic delivery. It features a range of catheters for arterial, venous, and AV access in vessels from 1.5 mm to large iliofemoral clots. The compact, mobile console is user-friendly, automating setup and operation for efficiency. With fast, precise clot removal, the AngioJet system provides flexibility and improved patient outcomes. 😊 Disclaimer: This is an educational post of mine; it is not sponsored.
