Study Identifies Signs of Repeated Blast-Related Brain Injury in Active-Duty United States Special Operations Forces
In a study of 30 active-duty United States SOF personnel, a team led by Martinos Center affiliated faculty member Brian Edlow, MD, found that increased blast exposure was associated with structural, functional, and neuroimmune changes to the brain and a decline in health-related quality of life.
Treating Early-Stage Breast Cancer with Ultrasound-guided Cryoablation
Ultrasound-guided cryoablation offers a range of advantages over conventional approaches to treating breast cancer. In October 2023, Massachusetts General Hospital successfully introduced the technique into its clinical practice.
Research Spotlight: Stroke-Related Visceral Alterations
Hakan Ay, MD, a stroke physician and an investigator in the department of Radiology, discusses a study recently reported in Annals of Neurology.
Cardiovascular/Metabolic Abnormalities Linked to Widespread Alterations In Brain Connectivity
Barnaly Rashid, PhD, Steven E. Arnold, MD, and colleagues report that, across the adult lifespan, worse cardiometabolic health associates with dysregulated functional connectivity throughout the brain, including in higher-order brain networks vital to cognitive function.
AI and Bias in Healthcare: What is it and what can be done about it?
Part of the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is its seeming ability to produce objective, unbiased results. However, AI is not immune from the potential for bias. This Q&A explores how and where bias can enter the picture in science and healthcare and what can be done about it.
Case Report: Longitudinal Imaging in a Patient With Opioid-associated Amnestic Syndrome
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers believe opioid-associated amnestic syndrome deserves study as a reversible metabolic injury.
Review: Body and Extremity Magnetic Resonance Venography
MRV experts at Massachusetts General Hospital recently reviewed commonly used body and extremity MRV techniques, clinical applications, and cases where off-label ferumoxytol can replace gadolinium.
Researchers Develop Technology to Tabulate and Characterize Every Cell in the Human Brain
The Martinos Center’s Bruce Fischl and colleagues report a comprehensive cellular atlas of Broca’s area. Ultimately, the methods developed for the study could help create 3D models of an entire human brain.
How A New Grant Will Support the Quest for a More Complete Map of the Brain
The Martinos Center’s Anastasia Yendiki, PhD, is the lead PI of the new Center for Large-scale Imaging of Neural Circuits (LINC), which will map the highways & byways of the brain at unprecedented scales.
