An example of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) on a FLAIR MRI scan in an older adult. FLAIR MRI is a technique that is particularly good at detecting fluid in the brain. It helps researchers see areas of the brain that might be damaged by making the cerebrospinal fluid appear dark while the surrounding tissue remains light and detailed. This contrast makes it easier to identify abnormalities or injuries; WMHs appear as bright, patchy regions in the brain tissue.

According to a recent study, high levels of sedentary behavior and physical inactivity from childhood strain the heart in adolescence. High cardiac workload predicts heart failure and other heart diseases. In light of the findings, increasing moderate and vigorous physical activity from childhood onwards is particularly important in preventing heart diseases.

Researchers have discovered a protein marker to help identify cells able to repopulate in patients with damaged blood vessels. Their findings could lead to new therapies for people with endothelial dysfunction, a type of disorder that contributes to coronary artery disease that may occlude with plaque and lack ability to carry sufficient blood into the heart tissue causing a heart attack.

Echocardiogram is an image of the heart using ultrasound. An ultrasound beam is transmitted into the body using a device known as transducer. The echo received from the body is processed by the computer in the machine to give an image of the heart. Transesophageal echocardiogram or TEE test, is obtained by introducing a special type of transducer, also called a TEE probe, through the throat into the food pipe (esophagus) and stomach.

The impact of chest compression (CC) pause duration on survival outcomes in pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrests remains unclear, despite the American Heart Association’s recommendation to limit pauses to less than 10 seconds for children without solid evidence. A recent study published in Circulation explored whether longer maximum CC pause durations correlate with poorer survival and neurological outcomes.
