This post could have been titled: Why and How to Use an Offhand Device for Radiology Or maybe even: How to Make the Most of All Those Extra Buttons on Your Gaming Mouse or Similar Device We’ll be talking about using productivity devices to make diagnostic radiology more biomechanically (and functionally) efficient. I was personally more focused on the former (repetitive stress is no joke), but both are important.

BACKGROUND: intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) makes up 10-15% of all strokes and significantly contributes to overall stroke-related morbidity and mortality ( Hostettler 2019 ). Levetiracetam is frequently used to prevent seizures in patients with conditions such as ICH, traumatic brain injury (TBI), supratentorial neurosurgery, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Invasive medical procedures, such as surgery requiring local anesthesia, often involve the risk of nerve injury. During operation, surgeons may accidentally cut, stretch, or compress nerves, especially when mistaking them for some other tissue. This can lead to long-lasting symptoms in the patient, including sensory and motor problems. Similarly, patients receiving nerve blockades or other types of anesthesia can suffer from nerve damage if the needle is not placed at the correct distance from t

Children with Down syndrome often undergo extensive medical tests, including imaging, that may use ionizing radiation. At the same time, genetic disorders like Down syndrome have an established increased risk of certain cancers, making exposure to radiation early in life less than ideal. Until recently, little research had been done to measure typical imaging radiation exposure rates for children with Down syndrome.
