Anesthesia/Pain Management Innovative Chemotype Could Transform Anesthetic Use n innovative screening process has discovered two completely new potential anesthetics that may be safer than current drugs. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA; www.upenn.edu) screened a 350,000 compound library, searching for compounds that compete with 1-aminoanthracene–apoferritin binding targets. Compounds that interacted strongly with apoferritin, and those with the most promising structures were selected for further animal testing. Based on a strong presence in both the initial and secondary screens, two compounds based on 6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H) were found to be effective as anesthetics in mice. Until now, no new anesthetic classes had been developed since the 1970s. The study was published in the February 2015 issue of Anesthesiology.

TOP NEWS DEVELOPMENTS OF 2015

Smokers Require More Anesthetic During Operations new study reveals that both smokers and those exposed to passive smoke require more anesthetic and painkillers to reach the same level of anesthesia as nonsmokers. Researchers at Bezmialem Vakif University (Istanbul, Turkey; www.bezmialem.edu.tr) conducted a study to investigate whether there is a difference between smokers, passive smokers, and nonsmokers, in terms of intraoperative anesthetic and painkiller consumption, as confirmed by the nicotine metabolite serum cotinine in 90 women. The total

amount of propofol used for induction of anesthesia in was 38% higher in smokers than non-smokers, and 17% higher than in passive smokers. The study was presented at the annual Euroanaesthesia meeting, held in Berlin (Germany) during May-June 2015.

Cardiac Care Implanted Fistula Device Lowers Blood Pressure

n innovative vascular coupling device tackles resistant high blood pressure (BP) by joining

Electrical Implants Help Alleviate Arthritis Pain heumatoid arthritis (RA) sufferers may soon benefit from embedded electrical implants that stimulate the vagus nerve to significantly reduce joint pain. Developed at the Academic Medical Center (AMC; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; www.amc.nl) and GlaxoSmithKline (Brentford, UK; www.gsk. com), the implant is a small neurostimulation device implanted under the skin that sends electrical signals to electrodes surgically inserted into the neck adjacent to the vagus nerve. According to the researchers, the stimulation results in activation of acetylcholine receptor type 7 (α7nAChR) in the spleen, which is involved in the cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway (CAP).

Implantable Ion Pump Helps Body Alleviate Pain new study describes an innovative organic electronic ion pump that can impede pain impulses by using the body’s own neurotransmitter signals. Developed by researchers at Linköping University (LiU; Sweden; www.liu.se) and the Karolinska Institutet (KI; Solna, Sweden; www.ki.se) the small ion pump consists of an electronically and ionically conducting polymer electrode inside a fluid reservoir containing the drugs, and an ionically conducting delivery channel leading out to the target region, such as the spinal cord. When a voltage is applied between the internal and external counter electrodes, the substances are electrophoretically transported out of the reservoir. The study describing the system was published in the May 2015 issue of Science Advances.

CRITICAL CARE an artery and a vein together in the groin. The Rox Coupler, a product of Rox Medical (San Clemente, CA, USA; www.roxmedical.com), is a small, paperclip sized implant which is inserted between the artery and vein in the upper thigh, creating a partial anastomosis. Researchers at Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL; United Kingdom; www. qmul.ac.uk) and other institutions conducted a study that showed that 44 patients who received the Rox Coupler experienced a significant (26.9%) and durable reduction in blood pressure, as well as a reduced number of hypertensive complications and hospital admissions for high blood pressure crises. The study was published on January 22, 2015, in the Lancet.

Ultrasound Tools Provides Confidence in Cardiac Care new anatomically intelligent ultrasound (AIUS) tool brings advanced quantification, automated 3D views, and robust reproducibility to echocardiology. The Royal Philips (Amsterdam, The Netherlands; www.philips.com) HeartModelA.I. is designed to automatically detect, segment, and quantify left atrium and left ventricle volume (LV), and ejection fraction. The model-based segmentation algorithm is based on prior knowledge of the heart, which enables the HeartModelA.I. to detect two LV endocardial borders, at end-diastole and end-systole. By segmenting the extent of myocardial tissue, an intermediate location can be robustly defined across a wide range of heart shapes 3-6 times faster than current methods, which rely on assumptions about the 3D shape of the heart based only on what is seen in the 2-D image, an assumption that can significantly impact the measurements.

Cardiac Plug Lowers Risk of Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation he Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP), a product of St. Jude Medical (SJM; St. Paul, MN, USA; www.sjm.com), is a self-expanding, braided Nitinol mesh that blocks the left atrial appendage (LAA), thus minimizing formation of dangerous blood clots that can migrate into the bloodstream. The device is offered in eight sizes to accommodate varying anatomies, and is preloaded into a catheter for streamlining device delivery. A study by researchers at AHEPA University Hospital Thessaloniki (AHEPA; Greece; www.ahepahosp.gr) showed that compared with an expected annual stroke risk of 5.62% a year, patients who got an ACP implant had a stroke risk of 2.30%, a decrease of 59%. The study was presented at the TCT annual meeting, held during October 2015 in San Francisco (CA, USA).

Nurse Work Environment Affects Cardiac Arrest Survival igher nurse staffing levels and better working conditions have a direct relationship to in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patient survival, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Philadelphia, USA; www.nursing.upenn.edu). The study showed that only 15% of the patients with IHCA survived to hospital discharge after the event. Most of the IHCAs occurred in an intensive care unit (ICU), and 80%

Annual Review 2015 were witnessed; 88% of patients were monitored when their arrest occurred. The researchers hypothesized that too many patients that needed managing on a ward interfered with the nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to effectively monitor each patient closely and intervene with lifesaving efforts quickly when every second counts. The study was published in the January 2016 issue of Medical Care.

Emergency Medicine Rapid POC Diagnosis Of Infectious Diseases he OJ Bio system, a product of OJ Bio (Newcastle, UK; www.oj-bio.com), is a handheld diagnosis system that quickly identifies the presence of a range of disease biomarkers at the point of care (POC). The system is based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) electronic chips coated with disease-specific, state-of-art biosensors. To use the system, a biological sample, such as serum, urine, saliva, or blood, is collected and applied to the multichannel biochip and placed into a disposable cartridge. When slid into a specialist reading device, specific disease antigens causes a shift in the phase angle of the SAW passing across the chip surface, providing an unequivocal pass-or-fail result for the particular disease being tested. Bluetooth connection enables the results to be displayed within seconds on a mobile phone app, a PC, or the device itself.

Early Warning System Detects Internal Bleeding novel system promotes vascular catheterization safety by alerting physicians to bleeding complications during interventional procedures. The Saranas Observer System (SOS) is comprised of a standard cardiac sheath that is surrounded by an array of electrodes that measure the difference in electrical resistance across a blood vessel. If the blood vessel is punctured, blood begins to accumulate outside of it, causing a change in electrical resistance that can be detected in real time. The system is designed for medical procedures requiring access to a blood vessel, such as transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs), where the femoral artery is used to gain access to the heart. The SOS is a product of Saranas (Houston, TX, USA: www.saranas.com).

Portable Sensor Rapidly Determines Extent of Eye Injury new biosensor works by measuring ascorbic acid (AA; vitamin C) levels in fluids that coat the eye. Developed at the University of Illinois (Champaign, IL, USA; http://illinois.edu), the OcuCheck Biosensor takes advantage of the fact that the ocular tear film, the viscous fluid that coats the eyeball, contains low levels of AA, while the interior of the eye contains much higher levels. The device uses graphene platelets layered 1 nm thick on filter paper. The upper layers include a unique polymer that interacts with the graphene, gold electrodes, and ascorbate oxidase, which binds to AA,

generating an electrical current that can be measured. The OcuCheck Biosensor could speed efforts to determine extent of eye injury at locations such as accident sites, rural areas lacking ophthalmology specialists, and battlefields.

Infection Control Slippery Surface Technology Repels Bacterial Biofilm novel lubricant-infused slippery polymer could serve as a long lasting, self-replenishing solution to repel deadly bacterial build-up in medical devices. Developed by esearchers at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA, USA; www.harvard. edu), the new non-fouling medical materials are based on oil-infused polydimethylsiloxane (iPDMS), a nontoxic silicone oil that creates a stable, extremely slippery interface with exceptionally low bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. According to the researchers, iPDMS can be applied as a coating on other polymers or prepared by simply immersing silicone tubing in silicone oil, and are compatible with traditional sterilization methods. The study describing iPDMS was published in the January 2015 inaugural issue of ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering.

Photoactive Dye Could Prevent Surgical Infection novel antimicrobial dye activated by light could help prevent bacteria from growing on bone fragments used in reconstructive surgery. Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University (Philadelphia, PA, USA; www.jefferson.edu) treated bone chips with 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin) (TAPP), a green dye that is stable while in the dark. When illuminated, TAPP becomes active, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that rapidly kill bacteria. The dye porphyrins also adhere strongly to bone allograft, without any trace of leaching out, and bacteria are unable to sequester TAPP from the allograft. The strong adherence also suggests that it could be safe and non-toxic to normal tissue. The study was published online on April 17, 2015, in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research.

Hospital Laundry Procedures Important in Infection Control roper laundry processes for healthcare textiles (HCTs) are imperative for achieving and maintaining disinfectant quality in fabrics, according to a new review undertaken by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, GA, USA; www.cdc.gov). According to the review, the industrial laundry processes currently in use successfully achieve microbial reductions via physical, chemical, and thermal actions. Oxidative laundry additives, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), peracetic acid, and acetic acid, can provide extra disinfection options for short wash cycles of HCT or for those laundry situations in which chlorine bleach is not indicated. The review was published online on June 18, 2015, in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.

CRITICAL CARE

Annual Review 2015 Innovative UV Device Fights Drug-Resistant Bacteria n innovative Ultraviolet C band (UV-C) cleaning device can kill 31 pathogens, including C. difficile and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in just five minutes. The OptimumUV Enlight system, a product of Clorox Healthcare (Grapevine, TX, USA; www.CloroxHealthcare. com), can induce a 4-log reduction of C. difficile spores, and a greater than 5-log reduction of other pathogens such as MRSA, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), when operated at a distance of up to two meters. The system is designed to supplement manual disinfection using bleach germicides or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) products. The device also includes an app that allows users to remotely check on UV cycle status, as well as start or stop the device, and upload the data for cloudbased reporting.

improves patient care by quickly detecting common IV adverse events. It is based on a noninvasive optical sensor that uses near-infrared (NIR) light to illuminate tissues near the IV site; the light returning from the tissue is processed by the patient monitor, using a proprietary diagnostic algorithm. The status of the infusion process is continuously displayed on the LCD monitor, along with an audible notification when conditions suggest that an infiltration or extravasation has occurred. The ivWatch 400 is a product of ivWatch (Williamsburg, VA, USA; www.ivwatch.com), and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Brain Scanning Headband Detects Traumatic Injuries he Cerebrotech Intracranial Fluids Monitor (ICP) is a real-time volumetric integral phase shift (VIPS) spectroscopy monitor that uses radio waves to detect changes in the flow of intracranial fluids. The ICP consists of a headband with multi-

ple integrated antennas that broadcast and receive each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signals; the frequency response of the phase angle between a transmitter and receiver antenna represents changes in the electrical properties of tissue resulting from small changes in intracranial fluid flow. The device can distinguish changes in tissue composition and structure in traumatic brain injury (TBI), discriminating between brain edema and hematoma by the changes in electromagnetic tissue properties. The Cerebrotech ICP is a product of Cerebrotech (Pleasanton, CA, USA; www.cerebrotechmedical.com).

Central Venous Line Risks Vary by Insertion Site new study by researchers at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Caen (France; www. chu-caen.fr), and other institutions reveals that the risk of blood infection or thrombosis is lowest when central line catheters are placed in the subclavian or jugular vein, when compared to the femoral vein.

Intensive Care Early Warning Software Forecasts Deadly Sepsis new study describes how a computer algorithm can be used to predict which patients will develop septic shock. Developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University (JHU; Baltimore, MD, USA; www.jhu.edu), a targeted real-time early warning score (TREWScore) can identify patients at risk of septic shock based on data from their electronic health record (EHR) a median of 28.2 hours before sepsis onset, with twothirds identified before any sepsis-related organ dysfunction. Accordingly, continuous sampling of data from the EHR and calculation of TREWScore may allow clinicians to identify patients at risk and provide earlier interventions. The study describing the algorithm was published on August 5, 2105, in Science Translational Medicine.

Esophageal Insert Modulates Patient Temperature he esophageal-cooling device (ECD) is a single use, fully enclosed triple lumen system that is inserted into the esophagus to help control a patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; temperature (by either cooling or warming them) during clinical procedures. Two of the lumens attach to standard existing temperature modulation equipment, while a third lumen simultaneously allows gastric decompression and drainage. The ECD, a product of Advanced Cooling Therapy (Chicago, IL, USA; www.advancedcooling therapy.com), can be rapidly inserted, in a fashion similar to a standard orogastric tube, and then uses the esophageal environment as a conduit to control patient temperature in the operating room (OR), recovery room, emergency room, or intensive care unit (ICU).

CRITICAL CARE This could be explained by the fact that while the subcutaneous course from subclavian insertion site into the vein is generally longer than for the other two types, it has the lowest bacterial bioburden. The researchers stressed, however, that as the overall risk of mechanical, infectious, and thrombotic complications was similar among the three insertion sites, an ideal site for central venous catheter insertion does not in fact exist. The study was published on September 24, 2015, in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Neonatal Care Home Births Do Not Lead to Increased Risk Of Complications omen with low-risk pregnancies who plan to give birth at home face no increased risk of harm to the baby compared to a planned hospital delivery, according to a new study by researchers at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON, Canada; www.mcmaster.ca) that compared 11,493 planned home births and 11,493 planned hospital births in Ontario, Canada. The results revealed an overall incidence of stillbirth or neonatal death was 1.15 per every 1,000 births in the home birth group, compared with 0.95 in the hospital birth group. Among the women who planned a home birth, 8% needed emergency medical services, compared to 1.7% of those in the planned hospital group. The study was published on December 21, 2015, in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).

Blocking Light Improves Premature Babies’ Survival he survival rate of premature neonates born between 26-31 weeks of gestation is improved by blocking light from reaching the parenteral nutrition (PN) feed line, according to a meta-analysis of clinical trials conducted researchers at the University of Mansoura (Egypt; www.mans.edu.eg) and other institutions. Mortality in the light-protected group was half of that in the light-exposed group and twice as high in males compared with females. According to the researchers, photo-excited vitamins B2 and ‘electron donors’ such as vitamin C, amino acids, and lipids in the multivitamin solution interact, generating oxidants that cause an oxidative stress which damages and kills newborn cells. Studies show that shielding PN feed lines from light significantly decreases these interactions. The metaanalysis was published on September 16, 2015, in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.

NIFTY Cup Aids Infants Who Cannot Breastfeed he Neonatal Intuitive Feeding TechnologY (NIFTY) cup, developed by PATH (Seattle, WA, USA; www.path.org), is designed to facilitate feeding and prevent starvation in infants in developing countries who are unable to breastfeed. Key features include an extended reservoir off the lip of the cup made of a durable, soft silicone material that holds a small amount of milk, ensuring efficient delivery where the infant is able to pace feeding on

Annual Review 2015 its own. Mothers can directly express their breast milk into the 60-mL cup, reducing possible crosscontamination from other containers. The quickdrying, UV-resistant, silicone cup can be boiled for sterilization, and is ergonomically designed to enhance finger and wrist control over milk flow. The first prototype of the NIFTY cup was evaluated in Southern India with infants that had clefts or were born prematurely.

New Research Dying Patients’ Priorities Differ from Those Of Their Caregivers’ he value people place on various aspects of dying suggest their end-of-life preferences should be made directly, according to a new study by researchers at Duke University (Durham, NC, USA; www.duke.edu). A survey of 211 patients with stage IV cancer and their informal caregivers found that patients’ willingness to pay to extend their life by one year was valued at USD 13,700, lower than their willingness to pay to avoid severe pain or to die at home. Conversely, caregivers had a three-fold greater willingness to pay to extend life by one year and for most of the other features considered than the actual patients themselves. The study was published on March 24, 2015, in Palliative Medicine.

Electronic Pill Helps Combat Obesity Eating Disorders A prototype remotely controlled electronic capsule adapted for ingestion or placement into the gastrointestinal tract delivers electrical stimulation to the muscles of the stomach wall, giving the patient a feeling of satiety and reducing their urge for food intake. The capsule is first swallowed by the patient; upon arrival into the stomach, it absorbs stomach fluids, increasing its size. A magnetic coupling system is then used to position it in the specific spot selected within the stomach, close to the lower esophagus sphincter (LES) or the vagus nerve. The pill then unfurls an electronic mesh to deliver gastric electrical muscle stimulation or vagus nerve blocking. The MelCap system is a product of Melcap (Ramat Gan, Israel; www. melcapsystem.com).

Injectable Polymer Helps Impede Severe Bleeding new polymer called PolySTAT developed at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA, USA; www.washington.edu),helps induce hemostasis by cross-linking the fibrin matrix within clots, mimicking the function of transglutaminase clotting factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor). The synthetic polymer circulates innocuously in the blood, identifies sites of vascular injury, and then promotes clot formation by binding specifically to fibrin monomers during polymerization, resulting in a fortified, hybrid polymer blood clot with enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation. The synthetic polymer demonstrated a 100% success rate in stopping bleeding in an otherwise lethal injury in rats;

for comparison, rats treated with albumin had only a 20% survival rate. The study describing the novel polymer was published in the March 4, 2015, issue of Science Translational Medicine.

Patient Monitoring Noninvasive Platform Monitors Patient Vital Signs he Masimo (Irvine, CA, USA; www.masimo. com) Root connectivity and patient monitoring platform enables clinicians to noninvasively measure arterial BP in a range of patients, with three distinct measurement modes: spot-check, automatic interval, and stat interval. Other vital signs measured include low perfusion pulse oximetry (SpO2), continuous hemoglobin (SpHb), Pleth Variability Index (PVI), and other noninvasive Masimo rainbow SET parameters. An integrated module measures temperature, while other expansion modules can help clinicians detect regional hypoxemia that SpO2 alone can miss. The Root also enables automatic documentation of vital signs data and alarms by forwarding them to the patient’s clinician and to the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR) via Masimo’s proprietary SafetyNet.

Wearable Health Sensor Aids Stroke Detection n innovative stroke detection solution enables any smartphone or tablet user to monitor the electrical impulses generated by brain activity, thereby gauging the probability of a stroke. The Early Detection Sensor and Algorithm Package (EDSAP) consist of a suite of sensors placed on a headset that collects and wirelessly transmits brainwave data to an app based on a sophisticated algorithm, which analyzes the data and determines the likelihood of a stroke within a 60-second time span. The EDSAP algorithm is based on an amalgamated analysis of countless stroke patient brainwave data, combined with artificial intelligence and signal processing software, including fast Fourier transform (FFT) and Wavelet. The EDSAP sensor suite and algorithm were developed at the Samsung (Seoul, Republic of Korea; www.samsung.com) Medical Center.

Wireless Vital Signs Monitor Improves Patient Safety The Connex Spot Monitor is a full-color, touch screen device patient monitor that automates collection of vital signs, sharing the data automatically with hospital and physician electronic medical record (EMR) systems to provide comprehensive and accurate documentation. Pulse rate and blood pressure (BP) measurements utilize 15-second averaging technology to provide accurate BP estimates even while the cuff is inflating. Pulse oximetry is used to assess respiratory conditions, and accurate thermometry is delivered with proprietary technology. The device also helps detect early signs of patient deterioration using the built-in Connex Scoring App, which uses a point-of-care (POC) calculator to determine the likelihood of adverse events, which are displayed as an automated, colorHospiMedica International July/2016

Respiratory Dialysis Device Reduces Mechanical Ventilation Needs

Wireless Pulse Oximeter Shares Data with Mobile Devices

novel respiratory dialysis system removes carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the blood, facilitating lung rest, protection, and recovery for patients suffering from acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other respiratory diseases.. The Hemolung Respiratory Assist System (RAS), a product of ALung Technologies (Pittsburgh, PA, USA; www.alung.com), uses a single catheter to remove up to 50% of retained CO2 from the blood via lowflow extracorporeal removal technology, whilst at the same time delivering oxygen directly to the patient’s blood. Since the system eliminates the need for intubation, sedation, and tracheostomies, patients benefit from a reduced length of stay, reduced ventilator assisted pneumonia (VAP), reduced airway wall damage, and elimination of the ventilator-weaning period.

he Masi Masimo (Irvine, CA, USA; www. masimo.com), MightySat Rx Pulse Oximeter is fingertip device that enables clinicians to track and trend measurements through smart mobile devices. The wireless device provides oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, Perfusion Index (PI), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI) using Masimo SET measurethrough motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry technology. The Bluetooth-enabled device allows clinicians to track and trend up to 12 hours of patient measurements on smart mobile devices, and to share that data via standard comma-separated-value (CSV) files, as well as transfer the data to the Apple (Cupertino, CA, USA; www.apple.com) Health app. The MightySat Rx Pulse Oximeter is intended for adult and pediatric patients, even during motion and low perfusion.

Respiratory Care New Treatment Option for Respiratory Distress and Heart Failure n innovative cannula intended for use in veno-venous extracorporeal life support (VV ECLS), provides venous drainage and reinfusion via an internal jugular vein during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) extracorporeal life support procedures. The tapered Protek Duo cannula is inserted via an internal jugular percutaneous procedure, following which it infuses oxygen directly into the blood using an oxygenator that acts as an artificial lung. By bypassing the right ventricle and directing blood flow from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery, the cannula optimizes gas exchange and simultaneously reduces stress on the right side of the heart. The Protek Duo cannula is a product of CardiacAssist (Pittsburgh, PA, USA; www. cardiacassist.com).

Unique EMG Technology Enhances Mechanical Ventilation novel ventilation solution uses surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements from respiratory muscles to boost patient breathing synchronization. The Dipha system, a product of of Macawi (Eindhoven, The Netherlands; www. macawi.com), is a light weight, 16-channel amplifier that is used to derive very accurate measurements of sEMG activity of the diaphragm and auxiliary respiration muscles. The data is then processed by dedicated advanced signal processing and analysis software in order to allow virtually synchronous mechanical ventilation with the initiation of inspiration, when used in conjunction with the Macawi OEM respiratory module, which uses a patented blower to provide a unique combination of high performance ventilation in applications ranging from premature neonates to adults.

Women’s Health Ablation Device Treats Heavy Menstrual Bleeding he Minerva surgical endometrial ablation system, a product of Minerva Surgical (Redwood City, CA, USA; www.minervasurgical.com), uses three separate ablation mechanisms to provide a safer and more effective means of treating excessive menstrual bleeding. The first ablation step uses bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to ablate the endometrium; the second step uses the high voltage RF electrical current to ionize fully contained and circulated argon gas within a plasma formation array (PFA) sealed silicone membrane that conducts the RF energy uniformly to the tissue in contact with the membrane. In the third step, intra-cavitary fluids fill the gaps missed in the first two steps and further ablate remaining endometrial tissue.

Epidural Anesthesia Safe For Cesarean Delivery new study finds that the rate of anesthesia-related complications in women who received epidural or spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery (CD) has decreased by 25% over the past decade. Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (New York, NY, USA; www.cumc.columbia.edu) and other institutions examined trends in anesthesiarelated complications, perioperative complications unrelated to anesthesia – such as acute heart failure, acute respiratory failure, and stroke—and overall mortality in 785,854 CDs in New York state hospitals between 2003 and 2012. The results showed that the overall rate of major and minor anesthesiarelated complications for those who received spinal or epidural anesthesia during CD decreased from 8.9 per 1,000 in 2003 to 6.6 per 1,000 in 2012. The study was published in the September 2015 online first edition of Anesthesiology.

Imaging/Contrast Agents New Hyperpolarizer Enables to Double Polarization Levels In MR Imaging of Lungs new system has been devised to double production rates of hyperpolarized inert xenon gas, which is used in conjunction with standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create highresolution three-dimensional (3D) images of the human lung. Developed by Polarean, (Durham, NC, USA; www.polarean.com), the new technology is now being offered as an upgrade kit to current owners of 9800 series Polarean xenon hyperpolarizers, enabling them to consistently reach polarization levels of 20%–25%. The higher levels of polarization allow researchers to decrease the amount of xenon to be inhaled, without compromising image quality, especially important in pediatric studies. They can also use the same amount of xenon and achieve higher image quality.

Antibody Cancer Marker Causes Tumors to Light Up

Minimally Invasive Procedure Breaks the Migraine Cycle

eveloped at the University of Wisconsin (WISC; Madison, USA; www.wisc.edu), the cancer marker attaches to a unique protein, called CD146, that is present on the surface of glioblastoma multiforme cancer cells, resulting in glioblastoma tumor tissue being easily identified in a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner. The radio-labeled anti-CD146 antibody (YY146) could also have potential therapeutic effects by exploiting the cancer stem cell (CSC) and epithelial-to-mesenchymal (ETM) properties of glioblastoma cells, mitigating aggressive U87MG phenotypes. The researchers also demonstrated that YY146 could be used to detect CD146 in cancer cell lines and human resected tumor tissues of multiple other origins, such as in gastric, ovarian, liver, and lung tissues. The study describing YY146 was published on November 9, 2015, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).

Imaging Tool Detects Oral Cancer More Accurately

Interventional Radiology

noninvasive device uses fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) technology to measure and visualize the biochemical changes that occur in oral epithelial tissue as it turns cancerous. Developed by researchers at Texas A&M University (TAMU; College Station, TX, USA; www.tamu.edu), the system is essentially a small, handheld reflectance confocal laser endomicroscope that detects natural fluorescence emissions from three molecules present in epithelial tissue: collagen, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Collagen has a stronger signal in normal and benign tissue, but in cancerous or precancerous tissue the collagen signals weaken, and NADH and FAD signals increase. Since the system detects the natural fluorescence spectrum and lifetime of the molecules, there is no need to use any external contrast agent.

Novel Coil Helps Surgeons Track Tumor Site n implantable, bioabsorbable 3-D coil with minute surgical markers helps physicians track a tumor site after lumpectomy. The BioZorb device, a product of Focal Therapeutics (Aliso Viejo, CA, USA; http://focalrx.com), contains six tiny titanium clips, distributed in a 3-D pattern inside the openspiral coil. The body eventually reabsorbs the coil, leaving the titanium clips for long-term visualization of the surgery site, and enables the radiation oncologist to treat only the smallest possible target area with radiation therapy, resulting in less radiation damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The design allows for suture placement in and around the tumor excision site, and enables oncoplastic closure of the site for partial breast reconstruction.

n image-guided, intranasal sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) nerve block could provide ongoing relief to migraine patients. Developed at Albany Medical Center (AMC; NY, USA; www.amc.edu), the procedure involves inserting a catheter through the nasal passages and toward the rear of the nasal cavity. A drip of 4% lidocaine solution is then absorbed through the bone and into the SPG, anesthetizing the ganglion and blocking neurotransmission. In a study of the technique, patient’s migraine scores were cut in half the day after the SPG block; 30 days after the procedure, patients reported an average 36% decrease. A majority of the patients said they required less or no migraine medication for ongoing relief. The study was presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology annual scientific meeting, held during March 2015 in Atlanta (GA, USA).

Mammography New Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations Released by IARC report released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC; Lyon, France; www.iarc.fr/) recommends inclusion of older patients in screening programs, suggesting there are only limited benefits to screening women aged 40–49, while benefits to screening women aged 50–74 are clearer. The researchers cite the results of studies in 16 countries that show a significantly lower risk for women above the age of 50, as the estimated false positive risk for women who got 10 screening mammograms between age 50 and 70 was 20%. For women aged between 40 and 49, the evidence was limited, and screening recommendations were less clear. The report and the recommendation were published in the June 3, 2015, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM),

Rapid and Automated System Analyzes Kidney Stones

Safer and More Accurate, Breast Screening Technique Developed

new imaging system for rapid analysis of urinary stones immediately after the surgical procedure can help determine appropriate postoperative care. Developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques (IPM; Freiburg, Germany; www.ipm. fraunhofer.de) and industrial partners, the Raman spectroscopy diagnostic system works by illuminating a kidney stone sample with a laser, identifying a singular characteristic wave spectrum via the 1% of photons reflected back. The wave spectrum is compared to a spectral database that contains data on the nine pure substances that make up 99% of urinary stones. Since the device employs relatively inexpensive optical components, it can also work on wet, unprepared samples, substantially reducing the time taken to prepare specimens.

clinical prototype of a new Ultrasound Computed Tomography (UCT) breast screening technique being developed by the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL; Teddington, Middlesex, UK; www.npl.co.uk), and other institutions could provide more comfortable experience than current multistage screening techniques involving X-ray mammography, a clinical examination, further Xrays, and ultrasound. The procedure involves passing ultrasound waves through the breast while the breast is in a warm water bath. The ultrasound system, which uses large-area pyro-electric sensors, is rotated around the breast during the exam, resulting in a 3-D image of breast tissue with fewer image artifacts than existing detectors. The first prototype pyro-electric sensors are being tested and further optimized at the NPL. HospiMedica International July/2016

Annual Review 2015 Menopausal Status Should Guide Mammography Intervals new study by researchers at the University of California Davis (UCD; USA; www.ucdavis. edu), and other institutions suggests that menopause may be a more important indicator than age when determining breast cancer (BC) screening intervals. A prospective cohort study showed that among women taking postmenopausal hormonal therapy (HT), biennial screeners had a higher proportion of tumors with less favorable prognostic characteristics than annual screeners. According to the researchers, if screening guidelines were based on menopausal status rather than age, some women aged 40-54 years might be recommended for more frequent screening, while others would need less frequent screening. The study was published on October 20, 2015, in JAMA Oncology.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

demonstrated an 800% increase in the effectiveness of cancer therapy by using a standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to naturally deliver cell-based therapies to both primary and secondary tumors which would normally be impossible to reach by injection. The targeting therapy is based on the use of MRI to identify immune cells contained Super-Paramagnetic Iron Oxide (SPIOs) nanoparticles in the oncolytic virus (OV used to infect and kill cancer cells. A study describing the research conducted in mouse models was published in the August 2015 issue of Nature Communications.

Nuclear Medicine Unique MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy System Showcased he MRIdian system, a product of ViewRay (Cleveland OH, USA; www.viewray.com), is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiation

therapy system that enables clinicians to observe, assess, and personalize radiation therapy treatments by providing high soft-tissue contrast, on-table adaptive treatments, MRI alignment, and real-time MRI tracking. This enables them to clearly see the tumor target and follow where the radiation dose is being delivered, and ensures that the radiation beam does not miss the tumor’s edges, or irradiate healthy tissue. The system also has built-in software for treatment planning, performance, safety, accuracy, and quality assurance (QA). The system is controlled via a graphical user interface (GUI) that is based on clinical workflows that increase usability, and includes advanced contouring tools and auto-contouring.

Restriction Spectrum MRI Technique Improves Diagnosis Of Prostate Cancer n innovative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique could measurably improve upon current prostate imaging. Researchers at the University of California (UC), San Diego School of Medicine (USA; http://med.ucsd.edu), and other institutions, restriction spectrum imaging-MRI (RSIMRI) is designed to correct for magnetic field distortions and focuses upon water diffusion within tumor cells. As a result, the ability of imaging to accurately plot a tumor’s location is increased, providing a more refined sense of the tumor’s extent and a better target for biopsies, especially in smaller tumors. According to the researchers, the technique is also beneficial in surgical planning and image staging. A study describing RSI-MRI was published in the January 6, 2015, issue of the Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Disease.

MRI Technique for Detecting Cancer Could Replace Biopsies new study by researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (Baltimore, MD, USA; www.hopkinsradiology.org) suggests Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) could be used for noninvasive detection of cancer cells to complement or replace biopsies, without the need for injection of contrast dyes. The technique is designed to detect sugar molecules shed by the outer membranes of cancerous cells. Since this is a property integral to cancer cells, rather than an injected dye, the researchers claim it could be used to potentially image the entire tumor, as well as monitor tumor response to chemotherapy. The study describing the results was published on March 27, 2015, in Nature Communications.

MEDICAL IMAGING integrate with the standard radiation therapy workflow, providing a proton therapy treatment environment at a significantly lower cost, footprint, and complexity, when compared to conventional systems. The MEVION S250 uses 90% less energy than existing systems, making it cost effective, and providing more cancer patients access to proton therapy treatment, which causes less damage to surrounding healthy tissues than photon radiation. The reduced radiation risk makes the MEVION S250 suitable for the treatment of tumors near the spine, brain, or heart, and in pediatric and adult patients. The first two systems were successfully installed in Florida and New Jersey.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Single PET Scan Could Replace Multiple Modalities In Detecting Blood Clots

n experimental technique could be used to discover blood clots using a single, fast, whole-

Annual Review 2015 body positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Developed by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH; Charlestown, MA, USA; www. nmr.mgh.harvard.edu), the new technique uses a probe created by attaching a copper-64 radionuclide to a peptide. The peptide in the probe binds to the protein fibrin, found in blood clots. The radionuclide in the probe can thus be detected anywhere in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body using a single PET scan. The researchers expect that it could take up to five more years of research before the new technique is ready for routine clinical screening. The technique was presented at the 250th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Positron Emission Tomography Reveals Vascular Microcalcifications

new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom; www.cam.ac.

uk) reveals how a combination of positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) can identify calcified deposits in the vasculature. Using a radiotracer version of sodium fluoride (18F-NaF), the researchers succeeded in showing that sodium fluoride adsorbs to calcified deposits within atherosclerotic plaque with high affinity, and is selective and specific. Since the rate of calcification is a surrogate measure for atherosclerosis progression, noninvasive detection of calcium using PET/CT imaging could serve as a useful risk stratification tool, and could even help distinguish between areas of macro- and micro-calcification in active unstable atherosclerosis. The study was published on July 7, 2015, in Nature Communications.

Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Technique Helps Safer and More Effective Removal of Brain Tumors esearchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Baltimore, MD, USA; www. hopkinsradiology.org), have demonstrated that optical coherence tomography (OCT) could enable neurosurgeons to better differentiate between healthy and cancerous brain tissue and perform safer and more effective neurosurgery procedures. The researchers used OCT visible light echolocation to produce a color-coded map of a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain that can reveal cancerous regions, since cancer cells in the brain lack the myelin sheaths found in healthy brain cells. Unlike X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT) scans or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, OCT is safer for patients because it has no ionizing radiation. A summary of the research was published in the June 17, 2015, issue of Science Translational Medicine.

Photoacoustic Tomography Helps Detect Deep Cancer Cells enetically modifying glioblastoma cells with a bacterial phytochrome enables them to be identified as deep as one centimeter inside tissue using photoacoustic tomography (PAT). Researchers at Washington University (WUSTL; St. Louis, MO, USA; www.wustl.edu) combined high-resolution PAT with a BphP1, a reversibly switchable phytochrome that has the ability to differentiate between red and near-infrared (NIR) light-absorption states. The researchers took images of the modified cancerous tissue using the two types of light and compared them to get a highly sensitive, high-resolution image of the cancer cells with substantially decreased background signals, enhanced detection sensitivity, increased penetration depth, and improved spatial resolution. The study describing the new technique was published on November 9, 2015, in Nature Methods.

Annual Review 2015 Radiology Dissolvable Surgical Clip Improves Diagnostic Imaging safe surgical clip developed by researchers at Kobe University (Japan; www.kobe-u.ac.jp), could reduce postoperative complication rates and minimize problems associated with diagnostic imaging. The 5-mm dissolvable surgical clip is made of a magnesium alloy that dissolves and is absorbed by the body after a certain period of time. To evaluate the functionality of the clip, it was tested in a rat model in which the biliary duct, portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic vein were occluded with the clip and a partial liver was removed. During a monitoring period of eight weeks, the clip functioned properly, and micro CT scanning revealed that the quality of images was not degraded, in comparison to titanium surgical clips, which lead to diminished quality of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images around the wound area, and can potentially cause complications.

Injectable Spacer Reduces Radiotherapy Consequences

Improved Radiation Dose Management Solution

novel spacer that separates the rectum from the prostate during radiotherapy (RT) can potentially reduce the risk of adjacent organ-at-risk (OAR) injury. The SpaceOAR system, a product of Augmenix (Waltham, MA, USA; www.augmenix. com), is a temporary injectable gel that protects the rectum in men undergoing RT for prostate cancer. The hydrogel, which is created from a mixture of two separate syringes, is injected through the perineum, guided by transrectal ultrasound. The material flows into the space between the prostate and the rectum and expands within ten seconds, reducing rectum radiation during prostate RT. The hydrogel is liquefied and absorbed within three months, leaving nothing behind. Shielding the rectum from radiation also permits dose escalation and hypo-fractionation, resulting in more prostate radiation, improved cancer kill rates, and fewer RT sessions.

new collaboration will address increasing concern from patients, clinicians, and healthcare providers about radiation exposure from imaging scans, and increasing pressure to meet new US State, and national radiation dose standards. The collaboration between Nuance Communications (Burlington, MA, USA; www.nuance.com) and Royal Philips Healthcare (Amsterdam, the Netherlands; www. philips.com) will allow users access to the Philips DoseWise Portal, providing improved tracking and reporting of radiation exposure resulting from an imaging scan. The collaboration will facilitate recording of radiation dose data from X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners during the normal radiology workflow in the electronic medical recorrd (EMR) of patients, preventing transcription errors. The data will be available for use in radiology reports, in Radiology Information System (RIS).

The combination of all three implant elements provides a comprehensive, anatomically diverse range of knee implant sizes that can recreate natural flexure throughout the entire range of motion, allowing for lateral pivot during early flexion, anterior-posterior stability, preventing paradoxical motion during mid flexion, femoral rollback and natural medial pivot motion, and patellar tracking and quadriceps function during deep flexion.

Fitting the Perfect Implant For an Artificial Hip new measurement tool developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU; Chemnitz, Germany; www.iwu.fraunhofer.de) allows orthopedic surgeons to precisely calibrate leg length after a hip replacement. The system is based on a small plastic box containing two light emitting diodes (LEDs) that is affixed to the patient’s shin. The doctor then takes hold of one of the patient’s heels and lifts it upward. The two lights trace an arc recorded by a camera positioned to the side of the patient both before and during the procedure. A software program compares both arcs to determine if the leg is the same length it was before the proce-

Injured Kidneys Are Viable Candidates for Transplantation njured kidneys from deceased donors may be more viable than previously thought, according to a study by researchers at Yale University (New Haven, CT, USA; www.yale.edu). The study, which included 1,632 patients, found an association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and organ discard. They also found that injured kidneys were associated with delayed graft function (DGF), and a need for continued dialysis support in the first week after transplantation. They did not find, however, a link between deceased-donor AKI and poor kidney transplant function. In fact, they found that sixmonth transplant function was worst for those with DGF who received a donated kidney with no apparent injury, which they attributed to ischemic preconditioning. The study was published in the March 2015 issue of the American Journal of Transplantation.

First Penile Transplant Completed Successfully he world’s first penile transplant reconstructed the amputated penis of a 21-year old South African who developed severe complications after a botched traditional tribal circumcision.
