Rasmussen aneurysm is a rare complication of tuberculosis, where a pulmonary artery adjacent to a tuberculous cavity aneurysm may lead to life threatening hemoptysis. Sudden or severe hemoptysis is an emergency condition in TB patients who need prompt recognition and intervention, often through endovascular embolization, to prevent fatal outcomes.

Background And Aims: Limited data suggest a benefit of population-based screening for cardiovascular disease (CVD) with respect to mortality.
Methods: A population-based, parallel-randomized controlled trial of Danish men aged 60-64 years randomized 1:4 to invitation to screening for subclinical CVD or no invitation (control group) were performed. Allocation was based on computer-generated random numbers and stratified on municipality.

Objective: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) emerges as a non-surgical treatment option for drug-resistant non-neoplastic focal epilepsy. Previous studies have reported that in about 20% of patients treated with radiotherapy, however, subsequent salvage surgery is required, among other because of symptomatic radiation necrosis (RN). We propose a novel and radiobiologically substantiated dose-fractionation regimen which minimizes the RN risk while aiming to preserve efficacy and report our first-in-human experience.
