Introduction: Medical physicists play a critical role in ensuring image quality and patient safety, but their routine evaluations are limited in scope and frequency compared to the breadth of clinical imaging practices. An electronic radiologist feedback system can augment medical physics oversight for quality improvement. This work presents a novel quality feedback system integrated into the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) at a university hospital system, designed to facilitate feedback from radiologists to medical physicists and technologist leaders.

U-shaped association of body roundness index with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease.

Ren Fail

December 2025

Department of Nephrology, Kidney Disease Medical Center, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, National Key Clinical Specialty, Tianjin Key Medical Discipline, Tianjin, China.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between body roundness index (BRI) and deaths from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials And Methods: The data was sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Cox proportional hazards regression along with restricted cubic splines were applied to assess the associations of BRI with deaths from all causes and CVD in individuals with CKD.

Innovative technology allows for personalization of stimulation frequency in dual-site deep brain stimulation (DBS), offering promise for challenging symptoms in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly freezing of gait (FoG). Early results suggest that combining standard subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation with substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) stimulation may improve FoG outcomes. However, patient response and the optimal SNr stimulation frequency vary.

Epidemiology, resistance profiles, and risk factors of multidrug- and carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens infections: a retrospective study of 242 cases.

BMC Infect Dis

September 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

Background: Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen increasingly associated with healthcare-associated infections and rising antimicrobial resistance. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens (CRSM) presents significant therapeutic challenges.
