And we also have another PostDoc position available - this time on transcranial magnetic stimulation as a therapeutic approach in Parkinson's disease.
Application deadline already April 14th!
You will become part of the collaborative "ADAptive and Precise Targeting of cortex-basal ganglia circuits in Parkinson´s Disease” (ADAPT-PD) research alliance. ADAPT-PD is a multidisciplinary project at the @DRCMR in Copenhagen and involves collaboration with Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Co-PI: Andrea Kuehn) and Lund University (Co-PI: Angela Cenci).
How about a PostDoc in beautiful Copenhagen on brain network analysis of diffusion data in developmental neuropsychiatry?
You would be working at the interdisciplinary @DRCMR as part of the Danish High Risk and Resilience Study (VIA) (www.drcmr.dk/via). The VIA study longitudinally follows the largest register-based cohort of children (n=522) in the world born to parents with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or none of these disorders.
"Low RBC/Mem in Cluster2 in the absence of airway or parenchymal abnormalities adds to the growing evidence of post-COVID microvascular abnormalities such as pulmonary capillary inflammation, vasoconstrictive remodeling or thrombosis that inhibit transfer of gas."
RBC/Mem ⬇️
“the ratio of 129Xe dissolved in RBCs to that in interstitial tissue and represents the efficiency of transfer of gas from the interstitium to capillary RBCs"
Are you a senior PostDoc (>2-3 years post-PhD) and would you like to work on ultra-high field MRI methodology and applications with great colleagues at the world leading interdisciplinary @DRCMR ?
Hi peeps, I'm after UK info, my wife has MRI lower abdomen soon and have been reading what I can on ffp2 mask use during procedure, a few posts saying patients will be given approved mask rather than anything brought in because fears of metal components/contaminants, anyone know if this is the case?
For info. these are what we're using and I'll be checking the nose clip but feels plastic, all else is welded. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RJWB3NR
Boost appreciated thanks #MRI#COVID#mask
MRI study spotlights impact of long COVID on the brain
CIDRAP
November 22, 2023
By Stephanie Soucheray
“A new study comparing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of patients with long COVID, fully recovered COVID-19 survivors, and healthy controls shows microstructural changes in different brain regions in the long-COVID patients.”
When even the BBC, of all news outlets, is debunking your propaganda, you're doing something seriously wrong 😂
#BBC: israel hasn’t yet provided any evidence that Al-Shifa #hospital has tunnels & #military basements.
The BBC, upon reviewing the #IDF#propaganda video & cross-referencing it with the footage captured by BBC's reporter, revealed that the IDF had inserted an additional gun into the #MRI room during the BBC's recording.
Of ik wat nerveus ben voor mijn MRI-scan van mijn hersenen. Misschien. Ik zou niet de eerste zijn die voor probleem A gaat en waar probleem B ontdekt wordt. Het gaat uiteindelijk over mijn hoofd... #kleinstresske#mri
I recently discovered MRI4ALL, an initiative to build accessible and affordable lowfield #MRI scans to be used in low resource settings and low-income countries, allowing people to build their own MRI:
https://mri4all.org/ . They also run an hackathon providing an opportunity for researchers, engineers, and enthusiasts to collaborate on projects related to building their own MRI scanner using #opensource resources put available here: https://github.com/mri4all
“Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have #MRI evidence of #lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), #brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and #kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls”
All those false positives ("indidentalomas") from full body #MRI will get expensive workups, follow up studies that will be paid by the rest of us via higher insurance premiums and taxes.
Best healthcare system in the world (for stockholders):
Doctors, patients try to shame insurers online to reverse previous authorization denials
“They take in premiums and don’t pay claims. That’s how they make money. They just delay and delay and delay until you die. And you’re absolutely helpless as a patient.”
I had a 50ish patient with new acute #backpain superimposed on, but different from, long-standing chronic back pain. On #history and #exam they had NEW lower extremity neurologic findings. I ordered an #MRI, which was the appropriate next step at the time.
I was forced to spend two evenings on hold for something like 20-30min for "pre-authorization"… two because they hung up on me the first time. I had to re-type a 20 digit code three times as they redirected me internally… finally spoke to the "physician in authority" and… HE READ MY OWN CHART BACK TO ME!! … then blithely approved the study. <insert swear words here!>
This is my Exhibit A for #HealthInsurance#malfeasance. (A complete waste of my time and that was the point! Unethical, and should be illegal.) Ironically I had a very conservative approach to imaging. That was probably the first new study I had ordered for back pain in months.
