World's first studies with bedside portable MRI in pediatric ECMO patients
). Patient 1 was treated with VV ECLS and cannulated with one double lumen cannula into the right internal jugular vein. pMRI was performed on day 6 as intracranial hemorrhage was suspected by ultrasound and to investigate congenital central nervous system congenital malformations. Due to the size of the patient, the patient was moved into the pMRI including his chest.
]. However, both techniques have their weakness. Feasibility of pMRI could open a new field of neurocritical care and guide treatments for neuroprotection in intensive care patients.

Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease: a field-test in a memory clinicBackground The key Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers are traditionally measured with techniques/exams that are either expensive (amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) and tau-PET), invasive (cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and p-tau181), or poorly specific (atrophy on MRI and hypometabolism on fluorodeoxyglucose-PET). Recently developed plasma biomarkers could significantly enhance the efficiency of the diagnostic pathway in memory clinics and improve patient care. This study aimed to: (1) confirm the correlations between plasma and traditional AD biomarkers, (2) assess the diagnostic accuracy of plasma biomarkers as compared with traditional biomarkers, and (3) estimate the proportion of traditional exams potentially saved thanks to the use of plasma biomarkers. Methods Participants were 200 patients with plasma biomarkers and at least one traditional biomarker collected within 12 months. Results Overall, plasma biomarkers significantly correlated with biomarkers assessed through traditional techniques: up to r=0.50 (p|0.001) among amyloid, r=0.43 (p=0.002) among tau, and r=−0.23 (p=0.001) among neurodegeneration biomarkers. Moreover, plasma biomarkers showed high accuracy in discriminating the biomarker status (normal or abnormal) determined by using traditional biomarkers: up to area under the curve (AUC)=0.87 for amyloid, AUC=0.82 for tau, and AUC=0.63 for neurodegeneration status. The use of plasma as a gateway to traditional biomarkers using cohort-specific thresholds (with 95% sensitivity and 95% specificity) could save up to 49% of amyloid, 38% of tau, and 16% of neurodegeneration biomarkers. Conclusion The implementation of plasma biomarkers could save a remarkable proportion of more expensive traditional exams, making the diagnostic workup more cost-effective and improving patient care. Data are available on reasonable request.
