Case Study

Diagnosing a right-to-left atrial shunt

Transcranial duplex sonography is a noninvasive method used to detect Right-to-Left Shunt (RLS). In this case, Color M-mode was used  to detect an RLS as the underlying cause of a cerebral abscess in the right parietal lobe.

Keynote Webinar | Spotlight on Cardio-Oncology

Watch now

An expert-led symposium exploring the most pertinent issues in cardio-oncology, with a focus on the new ESC guidelines. Highlights include preventative approaches in cardio-oncology, toxicity risk-stratification strategies, the clinical management of myocarditis as an adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor-treatments, and the utility of biomarkers in long-term follow-up of cardiovascular disease risk in cancer patients.

Episode 5: Next-generation sequencing

Emerging biomarkers in thyroid and non-small cell lung cancers

Next-generation sequencing is a powerful tool that can identify mutations or fusions in a wide range of cancers, enabling physicians to provide targeted therapy to patients and improve outcomes. In this podcast, Professor Andrew Beggs discusses practical aspects of this technique from the clinical viewpoint.

This content is intended only for healthcare providers and was made possible by educational funding provided by Illumina, Inc., and Eli Lilly and Company.

Preparing for the new era of neuroimaging for Alzheimer’s disease

PET biomarkers are fast becoming critical in the new era of disease modification for Alzheimer’s disease. Techniques around amyloid and tau require the expertise of nuclear medicine and radiology physicians to investigate and interpret PET scans in clinical settings. This program examines current and emerging biomarkers and assists in identifying patterns from different PET tracers in an interactive perceptual learning environment.

Untangling neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease

Neuroinflammation affects the risk, onset, and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. 

Improve your understanding of the role of neuroinflammation in the development of AD in a new animated website, which takes you through the complex mechanisms of pathology, including the genetic, exposome, and microbiome risk factors that contribute to a neuroinflammatory response. 

Supplemented by expert commentary from Michael Heneka.

Precision medicine in pediatric endocrine disorders

Standardised clinical practice, ie a one-size-fits-all approach, is now outdated and has been replaced by a personalised approach to each patient, applied through the principles of precision medicine. Its delivery requires a paradigm shift for HCPs with the inclusion of constantly evolving technologies and care strategies. Join Prof. Martin Savage and expert colleagues for this series of interviews exploring how to successfully implement precision medicine into the management of pediatric endocrine disorders.
