Case of the Week: This week's case comes from Dr. Thomas Auen (PGY3), Dr. Nila Jones (PGY2), and Dr. Benjamin Swanson (Associate Professor) at University of Nebraska Medical Center. It involves a 71-year-old male with extensive past medical history including severe peripheral vascular disease, alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis, nicotine dependence, history of deep vein thrombosis, and atrial fibrillation. Medical autopsy revealed the following gross heart findings, with roughened pericardium and adhesions to the surface. Microscopic examination of the anterior and septal region of the left ventricle are shown in subsequent images at 20x and 100x magnification. Which of the following choices best describes the features show in these sections: Let us know what you think: https://lnkd.in/eSXaicdQ

A neuroimaging study by Stanford Department of Medicine scientists may have found indicators which predict spinal cord injury prognoses more accurately. “The width of spared spinal cord tissue at the injury site allowed Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues to predict a patient’s improvement on motor and sensory function tests.” These insights may be able to assist clinicians in guiding patients in their rehabilitation following a spinal cord injury and counselling them on their prognosis.

In 2021, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine explored the use of a non-invasive handheld device for vagal nerve modulation in reducing the dependency on traditional rescue medications in gastroparesis patients suffering from unexplained nausea and vomiting. This August, in recognition of Gastroparesis Awareness Month, we highlight the ongoing efforts to find innovative treatments for this debilitating condition.

Attending AD/PD in Lisbon this week? CuraSen's chief medical officer, Gabriel Vargas, MD, PhD, will give an oral presentation of impressive Phase 2a data in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease patients this Sat March 9 at 17:25 UTC. CuraSen’s combination adrenergic activator, CST-2032/CST-107, achieved statistically and clinically important effects across several cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, executive function, facial recognition and impulse control — areas known to be impacted by adrenergic function. The company plans to initiate longer studies with CST-2032/CST-107 in AD/PD patients with MCI later this year. https://lnkd.in/ghSxqppm #Alzheimer's#Parkinson's#MCI
