Anesthesia/Pain Management Mild Sedative May Prevent Post-Operative Delirium

TOP NEWS DEVELOPMENTS OF 2016

Cardiac Care Minimally Invasive System Helps Modulate Blood Pressure

randomized, double-blind study conducted by he Vascular Dynamics (Mountain View, CA, USA; A researchers at University College London (UCL, T www.vasculardynamics.com) MobiusHD is a pasUnited Kingdom; www.ucl.ac.uk) and Peking Universive nitinol implant that reshapes the carotid sinus in sity First Hospital (PUFH; Beijing, China; www. bddyyy.com.cn) suggests that sedating patients after they undergo surgery may reduce the risk of post-operative delirium by up to 65%. The study, which enrolled 700 ICU patients 65 years of age and older hospitalized in two hospitals in Beijing, showed that prophylactic low-dose dexmedetomidine – a highly selective 2 adrenoceptor agonist – significantly lowered delirium when compared to a placebo group. Other benefits included a lower incidence of hypertension, as was incidence of tachycardia; hypotension and bradycardia incidence did not differ among groups. The study was published on August 16, 2016, in The Lancet.

the diastolic phase. The reshaping of the vessel results in an increased radius with every pulsatile wave, concentrated within the windows of the implant, which prevents vessel migration in the systolic phase. As the radius of the vessel is directly proportional to strain in the sinus wall, the arterial baroreceptors perceive the

reshaped vessel as an increase in pulsatile blood pressure and increase afferent signaling to the medulla, resulting in a commensurate reduction in blood pressure. The implant thus leverages the body’s natural tendency to lower resistant hypertension by vasodilation. Delivery is via percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the carotid bulb, where the arterial baroreceptors are concentrated.

Cryoablation Therapy Helps Ease Phantom Limb Pain new study suggests that cryoablation A may reduce phantom limb pain, a condition that afflicts plagues many amputees. Researchers at Emory University (Atlanta, GA, USA; www.emory.edu) and Washington University School of Medicine (WUSTL) conducted the study in 20 amputees, with each undergoing image-guided cryoablation of nerve and scar tissue in the residual limb stump. During the procedure, a probe was precisely placed through the skin, and the temperature was reduced for 25 minutes to create an ablation zone, shutting down nerve signals. The results showed that while prior to cryoablation, patients reported an average pain score of 6.4, 45 days later the score was reduced to 2.4 points. The study was presented as a poster session at the 2016 annual meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR).

Propofol Could Benefit in Heart Surgery new study conducted at the A University of British Columbia (UBC, Vancouver, Canada; www.ubc.ca) suggests that the intravenous (IV) anesthetic propofol may offer an effective approach to protecting the heart from damage during open heart surgery, especially amongst diabetics. The study included 137 patients scheduled for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), who were randomly assigned to receive either a highly controlled, increasing dose of propofol for a focused period of time during CPB, or an isoflurane preconditioning regime. The results showed that patients receiving propofol experienced a greater increase in 15-F2t-isoprostane (isoP) levels compared with those receiving isoflurane, but a decreased incidence of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Propofol was also associated with fewer heart failure events. The study was published on December 31, 2015, in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia.

measurement system adapts to complex anatomies during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), thus improving measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) pressure differences across narrowed coronary arteries. Clinicians can thus identify which coronary narrowing is responsible for the ischemic obstruction and warrant stenting, resulting in improved patient outcomes and reduced health care costs. The guidewire provides enhanced durability and improved handling, in either a cabled or wireless configuration, and the flexible tip can be shaped and re-shaped throughout the procedure, enabling it to assess multiple lesions. FFR is a physiological index used to determine the hemodynamic severity of atherosclerotic narrowing of the coronary arteries.

Intraventricular Assist Device Measures Blood Flow Directly VAD, a new intraventricular axial flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) made by ReliantHeart (Houston, TX, USA; www.reliantheart.com), is only 2.5 centimeters in diameter, but provides a 1.2 cm main channel that rests outside the ventricle. The main channel houses a magnetically stabilized impeller, while an adjustable pump depth mechanism is placed inside the heart to provide optimal action. Deep linear channels help transport blood through the pump, away from the dangerous forces of radial shear. The aVAD also features direct flow measurement and 3G cellular-powered remote monitoring, allowing clinical teams to notice problems and make corrections sooner. The entire aVAD driveline is disconnectable just below the diaphragm, so that in the event of driveline infection, it can be removed and replaced with a new one.

at death slightly lower - 76.2 years compared with 77.1 years at other times of the year. The researchers suggested various reasons for the mortality holiday effect, including emotional stress associated with the holidays, changes in diet and alcohol consumption, less staff at medical facilities, and changes in the physical environment, such as visiting relatives. The study was published on December 22, 2016, in JAMA.

Wearable Defibrillator Protects Children at Risk he Zoll Medical Corporation (Zoll; Chelmsford, T MA, USA; www.zoll.com) LifeVest wearable defibrillator is a pediatric device that offers advanced protection and monitoring for children at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Unlike an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), it is worn on the body (under clothing), rather than implanted into it. Weighing less than one kilogram, the device consists of two main components: an electrode belt and vest-like garment surrounding the patient’s chest, and a monitor worn around the waist. If a life-threatening cardiac rhythm is detected, LifeVest alerts the patient prior to delivering a shock, allowing a conscious patient to postpone the treatment shock. If the patient is unconscious, the device releases a special gel over the therapy electrodes and delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm.

Developed at Ohio State University (OSU; Columbus, USA; www.osu.edu), the intubation device receives real-time three-dimensional (3D) information on its own anatomical position by means of a small speaker placed near the laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple) that emits both soundwaves and magnetic waves that are detected by accelerometers and magnetic fields, respectively. The device, which has completed proof of concept testing, will enable medical professionals to ensure that the breathing tube passes between the vocal cords into the trachea, instead of into the esophagus.

Seven Procedures Identified as Riskiest Emergency Surgeries at Brigham and Women’s Hospital R esearchers (Boston, AM, USA; www.brighamandwomens. org) conducted a retrospective review study to define which surgical procedures account for the majority of the U.S. national burden of operative emergency general surgery (EGS) deaths. After ranking procedure groups by contribution to EGS mortality and morbidity burden, a final set of seven operative procedures were identified, collectively accounting for 80% of procedures, 80.3% of deaths, 78.9% of complications, and 80.2% of inpatient costs. The seven procedures are partial colectomy, small-bowel resection, cholecystectomy, operative management of peptic ulcer disease, lysis of peritoneal adhesions, appendectomy, and laparotomy. The overall mortality rate was 1.23%, complication rate was 15%, and the mean cost per admission was USD 13,241. The study was published on April 27, 2016, in JAMA Surgery.

The active component is a quaternary ammonium compound called alkyldimethy-lbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC), which is suspended in the paint without compromising its integrity thanks to a patented formulation. Paint Shield is applied just like any other paint using rollers, a brush, or by spraying; once applied, it keeps killing germs at 99.9% efficacy for up to four years.

Dramatic Reduction in Hospital-Acquired Conditions new report by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS; Washington DC, USA; www.hhs.gov) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) shows that the incidence rate of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) in the United States has dropped by 17% over a four-year period. A compilation of data from more than 3,000 hospitals shows the interim rate for 2014 held steady, at 121 HACs per 1,000 discharges, down from 145 in 2010. The biggest reductions were in adverse drug events (40% of the total reductions in HACs), pressure ulcers (28%), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs, 16%). Nearly 87,000 fewer patients died in the hospital as a result of the reduction in HACs, with almost USD 20 billion in health care costs saved.

The survey, conducted by the University of Colorado School of Medicine (Aurora, USA; www.cudoctors.com) and other institutions, found that as many as 45% of critical care physicians reported symptoms of severe BOS, as did 71% of pediatric critical care specialists. Symptoms included exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced accomplishments. Of the ICU nurses, 25-33% reported some symptoms of severe BOS, with 86% experiencing at least one burnout symptom. BOS risk factors included poor organizational skills, absence of quality of working relationships, and frequency of exposure to end-oflife situations. Other factors included increasing workload, insufficient reward, and a general breakdown in the work community. The survey was published in the July 2016 issue of Chest.

Skin Regeneration System Treats Diabetic Foot Ulcers novel skin replacement matrix encourages new A skin and tissue to regenerate and heal diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and third-degree burns. The Integra LifeSciences (Plainsboro Township, NJ, USA; www. integralife.com) Omnigraft Dermal Regeneration Template is a complex three-dimensional (3D) porous collagen matrix made of silicone, cow collagen, and shark cartilage that serves as a skin replacement system. Once in contact with the excised wound or DFU, it provides immediate wound closure and acts as a scaffold for cell migration, allowing for permanent regeneration of the dermal layer of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin. A randomized clinical trial conducted under an FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) demonstrated a 59% improvement in the incidence of complete wound closure when compared to standard of care.

The results revealed that in dichorionic twin pregnancies beyond 34 weeks, the prospective weekly risk of stillbirths from expectant management and the risk of neonatal death from delivery were balanced at 37 weeks’ gestation; delay in delivery by one week led to an additional 8.8 perinatal deaths per 1,000 pregnancies. In monochorionic pregnancies beyond 34 weeks, there was a trend towards an increase in stillbirths, with an additional 2.5 per 1,000 perinatal deaths beyond week 36. The study was published on September 6, 2016, in BMJ.

For mild to moderate pain, practitioners should look for non-pharmacologic interventions, including skin-to-skin contact, facilitated tucking, sensorial stimulation, swaddling, non-nutritive sucking, and massage. The next level of care includes oral sucrose and/or glucose, which should be tracked as medications. When pain cannot be managed with these approaches, doctors should weigh the risks and benefits of pharmacologic interventions with opioids, benzodiazepines, or other drugs. For some procedures, such as circumcision, chest drain insertion and removal, and nonemergency intubations, routine pain management is recommended.

researchers at Caboolture Hospital (Australia; www. health.qld.gov.au/caboolture), and other institutions. The randomized trial involved 380 peripheral IV catheters inserted into 360 adult patients to examine if failure rates could be reduced by the addition of a cyanoacrylate skin glue to standard care. The results showed that peripheral IV catheter failure was lower with skin glue (17%) than standard care (27%), and IV drip dislodgement was 7% lower. Phlebitis and occlusion were also lower with skin glue, and there were no infections. Empirically, the researchers reported that they found that using medical-grade superglue made IV lines five times harder to pull out. The study was published in the August 2016 issue of Annals of Emergency Medicine.

Patient Monitoring Portable Ultrasound Device Quantifies Bladder Volume he Verathon (Bothell, WA, USA; www.verathon. T com) BladderScan Prime is a portable threedimensional (3D) ultrasound scanner that helps reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) by noninvasively measuring bladder volume. The device acquires multiple scan planes inside the body to produce 3D quantification of the bladder, and then automatically calculates and displays urinary bladder volume. To boost reading accuracy among users of varying skill levels, the device provides simple and advanced aiming modes; immediate feedback for off-center scans and pubic bone interference; and onboard help and tutorial assistance accessible at any

point during the exam. Benefits of the system include reducing unnecessary catheterizations; improved management of Foley catheter use and incontinence issues; and reducing costs and nursing staff time.

Touchless Vital Signs Monitor Offers Earlier Detection of Heart Problems novel system based on transmittance photoA plethysmographic imaging (PPGI) can be used as an alternative for measuring blood pulse signals at a distance. Developed at the University of Waterloo (Canada; https://uwaterloo.ca), the device monitors a patient’s blood flow at multiple arterial points simultaneously, without direct contact with the skin, using a technology called coded hemodynamic imaging; temporally coded illumination (TCI) is used for ambient light correction. The device relays the measurements from all pulse points to a signal processing pipeline for PPGI signal extraction, thus allowing continuous monitoring. According to the developers, heart rate monitoring using the device is ideal for remotely assessing patients with painful burns, highly contagious diseases, or infants in neonatal intensive care units (nICUs).

Wearable Biosensors Enable Next-Generation Patient Monitoring nlike fitness trackers and consumer-focused wearU ables, the new Royal Philips (Philips; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; www.philips.com) connected biosensor automatically and continuously measures heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, singlelead electrocardiogram (ECG), posture, and activity data of patients in low acuity hospital settings, such as the general ward. The biosensor then transmits the data it collects to a clinical decision support application, which can be configured to promptly notify the appropriate caregiver or clinician when preset limits are exceeded. Philips plans to introduce more integrated solutions that will connect to analytics tools and dashboards, with the goal of providing clinicians actionable insights that could help improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and improve access to care.

Easy-to-Use Portable Device Quickly Measures Vital Signs eveloped at Johns Hopkins University School D of Medicine (Baltimore, MD, USA; www. hopkinsmedicine.org) the “MouthLab” is a 3D-printed, hand-held device with sensors to test blood pressure, blood oxygen, breathing rate, heart rate, and heartbeat pattern from a patient’s lips and fingertip, using a mouthpiece and thumb pad sensors. The mouthpiece contains a temperature sensor and bloodvolume sensor, and the thumb pad holds a miniaturized pulse oximeter; other sensors measure breathing from the nose and mouth. MouthLab also has three ECG electrodes - one on the thumb pad, one on the mouthpiece upper lip, and one on the lower lip. The device could help avoid unnecessary ambulance trips and emergency room visits when vital signs are good, and may help detect early signs of medical emergencies, such as heart attacks.

The results of the study showed obesity was associated with higher asthma prevalence rates among all age groups and racial groups, with 11.1% of obese adults, 7.8% of overweight adults, and 7.1% of normal-weight adults having asthma. When examined by sex, obese women had 14.6% prevalence for current asthma, versus 7.9% for normalweight women and 9.1% for overweight women; but prevalence did not differ significantly by weight status for men. The researchers suggest that sex-related differences in fat distribution and hormones secreted by ectopic fat may contribute to asthma. The study was published in the March 2016 issue of NCHS Data Brief.

Novel Technology Provides Dynamic Respiratory Imaging he Pneumacare (Cambridgeshire, United KingT dom; www.pneumacare.com) Thora-3Di system is an innovative, non-invasive structured light plethysmography (SLP) technology the helps construct a 3dimensional (3D) image of a patient’s regional breathing correlations and lung symmetry, which is then projected onto the chest and abdomen to record movement in four dimensions. The recorded image can be replayed in real time, allowing the clinician to manipulate the view using proprietary SLP software. By comparing the patient’s symmetry of breathing and measuring the chest wall, Thora-3DI can illustrate the dynamics of lung function in real time, reflecting respiratory function and providing a deeper understanding of the patient’s lungs without the need for moving the patient to a measurement site.

EMG Technology Enhances Mechanical Ventilation he Dipha system is a smartphone sized, battery T powered, 16-channel ventilation solution that uses surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements from the diaphragm and auxiliary respiratory muscles in order to boost patient breathing synchronization. sEMG data is processed by dedicated signal processing and analysis software in order to provide enhanced breathing synchronization with mechanical ventilation systems. The Dipha system is used in conjunction with the Macawi OEM respiratory module, using a patented blower to provide high performance ventilation in applications ranging from premature neonates to adults. The Dipha system and OEM respiratory module are products of Macawi (Eindhoven, The Netherlands; www.macawi.com), and are intended for use in the intensive care unit (ICU), long term hospital care, and patient transport.

Imaging/Contrast Agents Imaging Tool Detects Oral Cancer More Accurately eveloped by researchers at Texas A&M University D (TAMU; College Station, TX, USA; www.tamu. edu), fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) technology can noninvasively detect benign, precancerous, and cancerous tissue, based on 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. At the same time, NADH and FAD signals increase, since both molecules are related to the energy cells use; malignant cells, per se, use more energy as they rapidly multiply. And as FLIM detects the natural fluorescence spectrum and lifetime of the molecules, there is no need to use an external contrast agent.

Novel SLN Tracer Maps Breast Cancer Metastasis study by researchers at Beijing Cancer Hospital A (BJC; Beijing, China; www.bjcancer.org) describes how a novel sentinel lymph node (SLN) radiotracer called 99mTc-rituximab can help determine breast cancer spread by targeting the antigen CD20, which is expressed extensively in lymph nodes. Initial results in 100 randomly selected patients showed that the detection rate for SLN by injection of Tc-99m-rituximab, as verified by both lymphoscintigraphy and excision biopsy, was 100%. When the researchers examined results from a further 2,217 patients participating in the study, detection rates remained high, at 98.8% percent for lymphoscintigraphy and 99.9 % for SLN biopsy. The study was published in the August 2016 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Short-Lived Isotope Opens New Possibilities for Cancer Treatment novel radioisotope could be a promising agent A for destroying malignant cells using targeted-α therapy, with minimal damage to healthy surrounding tissue. Developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL; NM, USA; www.lanl.gov), targeted-α therapy is based on actinium-225, a radioisotope with a relatively short half-life of 10 days that emits powerful v particles as it decays to stable bismuth. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and molecular dynamics were used to study actinium coordination chemistry. LANL researchers were able to determine the chemical bonds formed by actinium, how many atoms are present, and the distances between them. The researchers now plan to engineer a chelator carrier molecule that could safely transport actinium-225 through the body to tumor cells. The study was published on August 17, 2016, in Nature Communications.

Interventional Radiology Virtual Reality Device Helps Treat Blocked Arteries wearable virtual reality (VR) device based on Google Glass can be used to guide revascularization of chronically blocked coronary arteries.

device projects three-dimensional coronary computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) reconstructions onto the Google Glass head-mounted display, which is worn by an interventional cardiologist in the catheterization laboratory. The projection of the 3D-CTA reconstructions onto the VR glass allows the operator to clearly visualize the distal right coronary vessel and verify the direction of the guide wire advancement, relative to the course of the occluded vessel segment.

Robot-Supported Angiography System Advances Hybrid ORs he Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany; T www.healthcare.siemens.com) Artis pheno is designed to provide patients with multiple health issues the option to undergo minimally invasive surgery, interventional radiology, and interventional cardiology procedures, despite additional risks associated with chronic disease. Artis pheno can scan the body up to 15% faster and produce 3D images that need less contrast agent; if the patient is sensitive to the contrast agent, Artis pheno can also support CO2 imaging of the extremities. With a wide C-arm and a free inner diameter of 95.5 centimeters, Artis offers more space for handling adipose patients and longer instrument use. It is accompanied by a multi-tilt table with a flexible isocenter, so that the angiography system can follow all table positions and provide imaging support for the patient’s treatment.

Convertible Catheter Opens Ureteral Obstructions n innovative nephroureteral stent (NS) system A keeps the ureter patent, without any additional interventional procedures. The BrightWater Medical (Murrieta, CA, USA; www.brightwatermed.com) ConvertX NS system enables interventional radiologists to eliminate the conventional treatment need for two separate interventional procedures in order to treat ureteral obstructions. Instead of inserting a percutaneous nephrostomy catheter through the patient’s flank into the kidney and removing it 3-4 days later to place a NS, the ConvertX System is implanted only once, and converts from a catheter to a NS in a brief office procedure, without the need for radiation or sedation, all in under one minute. The ConvertX Stent then remains implanted in the patient, just like a standard internal ureteral stent.

Mammography Safer, More Accurate Breast Screening Technique Developed new Ultrasound Computed Tomography (UCT) A breast screening technique developed by a team of researchers led by the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL; Teddington, UK; www.npl.co.uk) could provide a safer, more comfortable experience than multistage screening techniques, which involve X-ray mammography, a clinical examination, further X-rays, and ultrasound. Instead, the UCT system uses large-area pyro-electric sensors that create an ultrasound image with far fewer artifacts than existing detectors. The procedure involves passing ultrasound waves through the breast while it is immersed in a warm water bath. The ultrasound system is then rotated around the breast, resulting in a 3-D image of breast tissue that can be used differentiate between normal and cancerous tissue types.

Mammograms Contribute to Overdiagnosis of Breast Cancer esearchers at the Dartmouth Institute for Health R Policy and Clinical Practice (DTI; Lebanon, NH, USA; tdi.dartmouth.edu) used data from the SEER program to calculate size-specific cancer case fatality rate during two time periods: before onset of widespread screening mammography (1975-1979), and during a more recent period for which 10 years of follow-up data were available. The results showed that between periods small breast tumor detection rate increased from 36% to 68%, while large tumor detection rate decreased from 64% to 32%. The researchers concluded that if disease burden was stable, only 30 of 162 additional small tumors per 100,000 women diagnosed would become large, implying that the remaining 132 cases were overdiagnosed, and would never have led to clinical symptoms. The study was published on October 13, 2016, in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

3D Mammography Helps Detect Breast Cancer Earlier new study by researchers at the University of A Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA; www.upenn. edu) concludes that screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) mammography increases breast cancer detection rates. The retrospective, four-year study evaluated the effect of more than one DBT screening at the individual level. The results showed that the yearly rate of women recalled for additional imaging was consistently lower with 3D DBT than with standard 2D mammography. At the same time, cancer detection rates per 1,000 women increased from 4.6 with 2D mammography to 5.5 in year one of 3D DBT mammography screenings, 5.8 in year two, and 6.1 in year three. Interval cancer rates decreased from 0.7% with the use of 2D mammography to 0.5% with the use of DBT. The study was published on February 18, 2016, in JAMA Oncology.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Software Simplifies Cardiac MRI Workflow n advanced application captures seven dimenA sions of data (three in space, one in time, and three in vectorial) to simplify cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), yielding high resolution, timeresolved images of the beating heart, and a measure of the speed and direction of blood flow at each location. The GE Healthcare (GE; Little Chalfont, United Kingdom; www.gehealthcare.com) ViosWorks software simultaneously provides all key elements of a cardiac MRI exam, including anatomy, function, and flow, helping to solve several cardiac MRI challenges. The exam is simplified for the patient since the freebreathing scan can be acquired in less than 10 minutes, compared to a conventional cardiac MRI that takes over an hour to complete, thus reducing the error-prone and time-consuming aspect of slice positioning.

Hybrid MR/CT Imaging Reveals Tumor Motion hybrid imaging approach that fuses magnetic resA onance imaging (MRI) temporal information with computerized tomography (CT) can reveal lung and lung tumor motion.

MEDICAL IMAGING

Annual Review 2016 the novel hybrid imaging approach is based on deformable image registration (DIR) and finite element method simulation to fuse a static three dimension (3D)-CT volume, acquired while the patient held his breath, and 3D motion information extracted from a four dimension (4D)-MRI dataset, thus creating a synthetic 4D-CT dataset. The result is images of the lungs that exhibit high spatial resolution and an average error of less than two mm, while at the same time accounting for lung movement due to breathing.

Hand & Wrist MRI System Gets Market Approval ristView, a new hand and wrist Magnetic W Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging system developed by Aspect Imaging (Tel Aviv, Israel; www.aspectimaging.com), does not require cooling systems or a special shielding room, costs less, and requires less training than a full-body MRI scanner. With an 1-T permanent magnet, the system also requires very little maintenance, and has an extremely low-level external magnetic field, allowing it to be used anywhere in a hospital or research center. WristView has been optimized for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome that require their condition be diagnosed with MRI.

The size of a grain of rice, the Calypso 17G soft tissue Beacon transponder is tracked by the Calypso system, guiding treatment beams to tumors during treatment with medical linear accelerators, including tumors that exhibit respiratory motion, as the system allows the beam to be gated only when the tumor is in the planned position. The increased precision can enable treatment margin reduction, protecting healthy tissue and reducing side effects. The Calypso 17G soft tissue Beacon transponder and the Calypso System are products of Varian Medical Systems (Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA; www.varian.com).

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Hybrid PET/MRI System Offers Enhanced Breast Cancer Imaging novel four-year cross-European project called A Digital Hybrid Breast PET/MRI for Enhanced Diagnosis of Breast Cancer (HYPMED) will develop a hybrid Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging system

to improve breast cancer diagnosis and provide personalized control of therapy results. The consortium intends to develop a Radio Frequency (RF) coil that can be used in any standard clinical MR scanner, transforming the scanner into a high-resolution hybrid PET/MRI system that can identify extremely small breast cancer foci, better characterize the cancer, and improve treatment response. The radiation dose of the new system is expected to be minimal, comparable to that of a regular digital mammogram. The consortium also plans to use the HYPMED approach in the future for prostate cancer detection, hybrid cardiac imaging, and other diseases.

Nuclear Medicine Image Analysis Technique Provides Enhanced Treatment Assessment for Liver Cancer novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis A technique significantly speeds up assessment of the effectiveness of liver cancer treatment by comparing differences before and after treatment in order to identify non-responders. The 3D technology provides whole liver volumetric enhancement quantification, enabling radiologists to segment and delineate an entire tumor in 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20 seconds in a semi-automated process. According to the researchers, the new approach can also be used together with other imaging modalities such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), multidetector CT (MDCT), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and has also been validated for benign brain and uterine lesions, and might also be applicable for systemic therapy.

Proton Radiotherapy Bests Standard Radiotherapy roton beam therapy (PBT) to treat medulloblasP toma in pediatric patients appears to be as safe as conventional treatment and offers similar survival rates, according to a new study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH; Boston, MA, USA; www.massgeneral.org). Three years after treatment, progression-free survival was 83%, and at five years, progression-free survival was 80%. A to side effects, 12% of patients had serious hearing loss, which rose to 16% at five years. Processing speed and verbal comprehension were also affected, but perceptual reasoning and working memory were not. At five years, 55% had problems with the neuroendocrine system, with growth hormone being the most commonly affected. On the other hand, no cardiac, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal toxic effects were found, which are common in patients treated with photon radiotherapy.

Optical Coherence Tomography Photoacoustic Tomography Detects Deep Cancer Cells enetically modifying glioblastoma cells with a G bacterial phytochrome enables them to be identified using photoacoustic tomography (PAT). Discovered at Washington University (WUSTL; St. Louis, MO, USA; www.wustl.edu), the reversibly switchable phytochrome, derived from Rhodopseudomonas palustris bacterium, discerns between red and nearinfrared (NIR) light-absorption states, enabling differential imaging with substantially decreased background signals, enhanced detection sensitivity, increased penetration depth, and improved spatial resolution. As a result, glioblastoma growth and metastasis can be monitored with 100 m resolution at depths of up to 10 mm, and image individual cancer cells with a sub-optical diffraction resolution of about 140 nm. The study was published on November 9, 2015, in Nature Methods.

Mobile System Combines OCT Imaging with Angiography new diagnostic system couples state-of-the-art A optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography co-registration into one portable system. The St. Jude Medical (SJM; St. Paul, MN, USA; www. sjm.com) OPTIS Mobile System uses the combination technology to improve stenting decisions based on high-resolution 3D OCT views of coronary anatomy, simultaneously mapping their exact location via angiogram. By using OCT technology, the system provides anatomical images of disease morphology and automated measurements that make stent selection, deployment, and placement more accurate, resulting in higher success rates and minimizing the need for revascularizations. The system also integrates proprietary fractional flow reserve (FFR) technology to offer detailed coronary hemodynamic circulatory information during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Radiology New Standards Released for Digital Projection Radiography he US National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA; Arlington, VA, USA; www.nema.org) has published the NEMA/MITA XR 30-2016 standard for medical imaging device manufacturers that details the minimal requirements for the quality control of Computed Tomography (CR) and Digital Tomography (DR) equipment at the facility level. Developed by the Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) Computed Radiography-Digital Radiography Group in the X-Ray Imaging division of NEMA, the new standard can be downloaded for free. XR 30-2016 is intended to help clinicians verify the performance of their imaging equipment, check adjustable image processing settings and expected processing outcomes following software upgrades, and also to help users meet safety and regulatory compliance requirements.

Annual Review 2016 Radiology Studies Provide Insight on Zika Effects hree now studies conducted in Brazil used CT, T ultrasound, and MRI to assess the impacts of Zika virus. The first study, from Barão de Lucena Hospital (Recife, Brazil), examined 16 newborn babies with congenital Zika virus infection, identified a recognizable pattern of decreased brain volume, simplified gyral pattern, calcifications, ventricular dilatation, and prominent occipital bone in CT images. The second study, held at Federal Fluminense University (Niterói, Brazil; www.uff.br) found common MRI findings that included enhancement of certain spinal and facial nerves in adults and orbital injuries and anatomical changes in brain tissue in newborns. The third study, conducted at Clínica de Diagnóstico por Imagem (CDPI), found that over half of the Zika babies examined had microcephaly, brain calcifications, and loss of brain tissue volume, along with other structural changes. All studies were presented at RSNA 2016.

Trained Radiologists can Detect Breast Cancer in an Instant novel study held at Brigham and Women’s A Hospital (BWH; Boston, AM, USA; www. brighamandwomens.org), and other institutions shows that radiologists can recognize abnormal mammograms in a split second. The researchers conducted a series of four experiments to explore what signals may alert radiologists to the presence of an abnormality, in order to improve breast cancer screening and early detection. They found that radiologist performance did not depend on breaks in the normal symmetry of left and right breasts. They therefore speculate that parts of the parenchyma that do not contain a lesion, even in the contralateral breast, confer an abnormal ‘gist’ that may be based on a widely distributed image statistic that is learned by experts. The study was published on August 29, 2106, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Radiation Safety Radiation Dose Management System Improves Patient Care he GE Healthcare (GE, Little Chalfont, United T Kingdom; www.gehealthcare.com) DoseWatch Explore is a cloud-based radiation dose management software suite that tracks, analyzes, and reports practice-level radiation dose data for GE CT systems. Using Microsoft (Mountain View, CA, USA; www. microsoft.com) Azure cloud technology and GE’s InSite connection, DoseWatch Explore collects radiation data directly from the CT scanner; no hardware integration, infrastructure, or installation is required. The dose management solution helps clinicians quantify the CT systems’ radiation dose using protocol parameters determined per exam/per device, enabling development of individual dose management practices, while at the same time improving patient radiation dose levels during diagnostic imaging procedures. The solution utilizes familiar, browser-based tools and technology with the scale, cost-efficiency, and ease-of-deployment provided by cloud infrastructure.

Injectable Spacer Preserves Bowels During Prostate Radiotherapy novel hydrogel rectal spacer used during radioA therapy (RT) for prostate cancer results in significantly less rectal toxicity and urinary incontinence. The SpaceOAR system, a product of Augmenix (Waltham, MA, USA; www.augmenix.com), is a temporary hydrogel injected through the perineum which flows into the space between the prostate and

the rectum and expands rapidly, reducing rectum radiation dose during prostate RT. Shielding the rectum also permits hypo-fractionation and dose escalation, resulting in more prostate radiation, improved cancer kill rates, and fewer RT sessions. The hydrogel remains in place for three months, and is then liquefied and absorbed. A three year study conducted at Texas Oncology (Irving, USA; www.texasoncology. com) showed that grade 1+ rectal toxicity incidence in patients with the SpaceOAR was just 2%, compared with 90% in controls.

Lumify will be supplied under a USD 199 monthly subscription plan that includes not only the devices and app, but also connects to any patient picture archiving and communication system (PACS), to share images, video, and notes with colleagues via email or a shared network.

Remote-Controlled Telerobotic Ultrasound Could Revolutionize Telemedicine new technology called Tele Robotic Ultrasound A for Distance Imaging (TRUDI) enables operators to perform an ultrasound exam using any internet connection, which could provide critical healthcare services to resource-poor areas of the world, with results comparable to those of manual ultrasound examinations. The ultrasound system is part of a robotic kiosk and can be moved rapidly to perform an examination by the remote operator. Other uses could be for examinations by a fetal ultrasound specialist in hard-to-reach rural communities, anywhere in the world, reducing maternal mortality by providing access to antenatal care in developing countries. The ultrasound system is based on a Personal Computer (PC) platform and was made by Telemed Ultrasound Medical Systems (Milano, Italy; www.telemedultrasound.com).

New Ultrasound Method Could Increase Understanding of Cancer Cells and Metastases esearchers have discovered a new ultrasound R method, called iso-acoustic focusing, that can be used to analyze and separate cells from blood. Developed at Lund University (Lund, Sweden; www.lunduniversity.lu.se) and MIT, iso-acoustic focusing exposes cells to ultrasound as they flow through a micro-channeled chip, causing them to separate. The lateral movement of the cells enable the researchers to identify their acoustic properties, and could be used to detect cell type, as well as distinguish between cancer cells of different origins. According to the researchers, the method could be used to measure the variation in the number of tumor cells in time, and help determine whether medication can be effective in treatment or not.

A novel pre-loaded stent and delivery system aids the endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocysts and certain types of walled-off pancreatic necrosis by forming a temporary anastomotic conduit between the diseased areas of the pancreas and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The Boston Scientific (Natick, MA, USA; www.bostonscientific.com) AXIOS stent system uses endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance to deliver the stent adjacent to the pseudocyst pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) site. After the GI wall has been breached, the stent is used as a translumenal conduit to bridge the intervening tissues into the pseudocyst, draining it directly into the stomach; two large flanges hold the tissue layers together and form a large diameter drainage channel. Once the pseudocyst has drained and decreased in size, the stent is removed.

The systemic review, by researchers at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON, Canada; www.mcmaster.ca) and other institutions revealed that over a median follow-up of two years, transfemoral TAVI was associated with better outcomes than SAVR in terms of mortality, stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), and bleeding. Among TAVI participants there were an estimated 30 fewer deaths per 1,000 patients than among SAVR patients, while for stroke, AKI, and bleeding, there were 20, 53, and 252 fewer instances (respectively). The occurrence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) was also reduced, with 178 fewer instances. The study was published on September 28, 2016, in BMJ.

High BP Following Heart Surgery Linked to Adverse Outcomes ostoperative hypertension in cardiac surgery is associated with increased mortality, prolonged length of stay, and higher incidence of renal dysfunction, according to a new study by researchers at Charité University Medicine (Charité, Berlin, Germany; www.charite.de) and other institutions. The researchers conducted a retrospective outcome analysis of 5,225 cardiac surgery patients over a 7-year period, in order to evaluate the consequences of postoperative blood pressure on medical outcomes and resource utilization. The results revealed that hypertensive postoperative patients experienced a higher inhospital mortality rate (4.97%) than matched-case normotensive patients (1.32%) and a longer hospital stay. Serum creatinine levels in the hypertensive patients were also increased, as was postoperative renal dysfunction. The study was published on September 9, 2016, in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia.

New Guidelines Recommend Surgical Ablation to Reduce Atrial Fibrillation practice guidelines issued by the N ewSocietyclinical of Thoracic Surgeons (STS; Chicago, IL, USA; www.sts.org) conclude that surgical ablation as a treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AF) deserves a more prominent role in adult cardiac surgery. The new clinical practice guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations that include surgical ablation for AF at the time of concomitant mitral operations to restore cardiac rhythm; surgical ablation for AF at the time of concomitant isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR), isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and AVR+CABG operations to restore cardiac rhythm; and surgical ablation as a primary standalone procedure to restore cardiac rhythm for symptomatic AF that is resistant to medication or catheter ablation. The new guidelines were published in the January 2017 issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

The camera is paired to the Endolight Flex LED, which is characterized by low power consumption and very little heat. A total of six different sensor endoscopes are available. For urology, options include a 2-channel sensor uretero-renoscope (the COBRA vision EF), a single-channel sensor uretero-renoscope (the BOA vision EF), and a sensor cystoscope. For pulmonology, the options include a sensor bronchoscope for diagnostics, a sensor bronchoscope for therapy, and an optional slim line bronchoscope. The Endocam Flex HD and Endolight Flex LED system are products of Richard Wolf (Knittlingen, Germany; www.richardwolf.com).

Endoscopic Device Streamlines Gastrointestinal Exams new rotatory endoscopic mucosal resection A (EMR) tool facilitates the removal of mucosal lesions, such as polyps, along the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The Interscope (Worcester, MA, USA; http://interscopemed.com) EndoRotor System provides a streamlined means to resect flat lesions in the alimentary and GI tract via a catheter inserted into the working channel of an endoscope. The device can resect 3-5mm lesions in a single tap, once vacuum is engaged. As the rotating resecting blade cuts the tissue, it is drawn into the device and transported to the specimen trap via suction. Once the operator resects the specimen, the need may arrive to isolate the specimen; to do so, the two halves of the specimen trap are separated, and the filter is removed. The specimens are then collected and can then be sent to pathology.

Novel Endoscopy Technology Improves Hemostatic Clipping he Resolution 360 Clip is intended for endoscopT ic marking and hemostasis during treatment of mucosal and sub-mucosal defects such as peptic ulcers, polyps, and diverticulosis of the colon. The pre-loaded, radiopaque, single-use clip consists of stainless steel capsule and clip arms, a chrome-cobalt

yoke, and a styrene tension breaker. A key feature is a 32-wire braided catheter that enables rotation in small, controlled movements in both directions, enabling the clip to be more accurately placed at the intended site. A control knob built into the handle provides tactile and deployment feedback for 1:1 controlled rotation while maintaining handle position in check, thus preserving clip angulation during controlled placement in tortuous anatomy. The Resolution 360 Clip is a product of Boston Scientific (Natick, MA, USA; www.bostonscientific.com), and is available in 155cm and 235cm working lengths.

Minimally-Invasive Surgery Procedureless Gastric Balloon Generates Weight Loss he Allurion Technologies (Wellesley, MA, USA; T www.allurion.com) Elipse is a thin, flexible, polymer film balloon that offers an alternative minimally invasive treatment option for overweight and obese individuals. Delivered in a swallowable capsule, eliminating the need for surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia, the balloon is filled once in position with liquid through a thin delivery catheter, which is then detached by tugging. The gastric balloon remains in the stomach for four months, after which it automatically empties and is excreted naturally from the body.
