Endovascular embolization stops nosebleeds
A minimally invasive technique can successfully stop recurrent nosebleeds in patients who are prone to them, according to a radiologist's study published in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
A minimally invasive technique can successfully stop recurrent nosebleeds in patients who are prone to them, according to a radiologist's study published in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
Nosebleeds can be particularly troubling for patients who have had nasal surgery or are taking blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood pressure drugs. In around 6% of cases, recurrent nosebleeds require nasal packing, heat cauterization, or invasive surgery to curb recurrence.
After endovascular embolization using platinum fiber coils, 19 of 20 patients had no further rebleeding, and only one patient had transient facial pain (J NeuroIntervent Surg 2010;2:171-175).
The technique uses a fine guidewire or catheter to insert detachable platinum coils. They expand into a predetermined shape to slow or block the flow of blood.
CT Study Reveals Key Indicators for Angiolymphatic Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
January 15th 2025In computed tomography (CT) scans for patients with solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) < 30 mm, emerging research suggests the lollipop sign is associated with a greater than fourfold likelihood of angiolymphatic invasion.
Can MRI-Based AI Enhance Risk Stratification in Prostate Cancer?
January 13th 2025Employing baseline MRI and clinical data, an emerging deep learning model was 32 percent more likely to predict the progression of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to new research.
