Excerpt

Multidetector row computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA) plays a crucial role in the evaluation of patients with suspected abdominal hemorrhage in the emergency setting. It offers several advantages over single-detector CT in the assessment of patients with emergent conditions [1]. The shorter scanning time with multidetector row CT allows better visualization of blood vessels and more consistent contrast enhancement of the adjacent organ parenchyma. Further, faster data acquisition makes it possible to obtain multiple consecutive phases in a short time. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
