INTRODUCTION: The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical examination and standard diagnostic imaging. The recent development of the venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) and growth of point-of-care ultrasound in the last decade has made for a potentially very useful clinical tool.

A collaboration between NVIDIA and academic researchers is prepping robots for surgery. ORBIT-Surgical — developed by researchers from the University of Toronto, UC Berkeley, ETH Zurich, Georgia Tech and NVIDIA — is a simulation framework to train robots that could augment the skills of surgical teams while reducing surgeons’ cognitive load. It supports more than a dozen maneuvers inspired by the training curriculum for laparoscopic procedures, aka minimally invasive surgery, such as grasping sm
In 2023, the number of lung, liver, and heart transplants across the country each increased by more than 10% , according to The New York Times. New perfusion technology is both meeting the demand and increasing opportunities for transplant, extending new life to donor organs by outperforming former methods of cooling them down to preserve function. Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is one of the innovative technologies improving the viability of organs for transplant.

Understanding abnormal arterial waveforms is crucial in diagnosing various cardiovascular conditions. These waveforms, visualized through arterial pressure tracings, provide insight into the mechanical performance of the heart and the vascular system. Here are some common abnormal arterial waveforms: Pulsus bisferiens has two distinct systolic peaks (or the second in early diastole) and is associated with aortic insufficiency (AI) and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).
