High‐Resolution IVIM MRI Characterizes Diffusion–Perfusion Properties of the Parasagittal Dura

The objectives of this study were to characterize the diffusion-perfusion properties of the parasagittal dura (PSD) using high-resolution intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI and to explore whether PSD-specific IVIM metrics reflect distinct fluid-transport-related signal behav...

Long-Term Air Pollutant Exposure and the Risk of Cardiovascular- and Cancer-Related Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study in Taiwan

Air pollution exposure can cause vascular dysfunction and induce mutagenesis; however, its effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD)– and cancer-related mortality remain unclear. This prospective cohort study examined the impact of long-term exposure to multiple air pollutants on t...

Simulation-based ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture training using a flipped classroom: a single-arm pilot programme evaluation

Abstract Background Traditional landmark-guided lumbar puncture (LP) has high failure rates among novice emergency medicine (EM) clinicians. While ultrasound guidance improves success, structured training models remain limited and expensive. We evaluated a cost-effective, simulat...
