3D heart printed using multiple imaging techniques

  Congenital heart experts from Spectrum Health Helen DeVos Children's

Hospital have successfully integrated two common imaging techniques to
produce a three-dimensional anatomic model of a patient's heart.

  The 3D model printing of patients' hearts has become more common in

recent years as part of an emerging, experimental field devoted to enhanced
visualization of individual cardiac structures and characteristics. But this is the
first time the integration of computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional
transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) has successfully been used for
printing a hybrid 3D model of a patient's heart. A proof-of-concept study
authored by the Spectrum Health experts also opens the way for these
techniques to be used in combination with a third tool - magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI).

  "Hybrid 3D printing integrates the best aspects of two or more imaging

modalities, which can potentially enhance diagnosis, as well as interventional
and surgical planning," said Jordan Gosnell, Helen DeVos Children's Hospital
cardiac sonographer, and lead author of the study. "Previous methods of 3D
printing utilize only one imaging modality, which may not be as accurate as
merging two or more datasets."

  The team used specialized software to register images from the two
imaging modalities to selectively integrate datasets to produce an accurate
anatomic model of the heart. The result creates more detailed and
anatomically accurate 3D renderings and printed models, which may enable
physicians to better diagnose and treat heart disease.

Worms
  About a quarter of the world's population could have worms living in their
guts. For many years experts have recommended treating large groups at risk
of infection - but is this mass approach worthwhile?

  Evidence showing the benefits of large-scale deworming projects has come

under scrutiny in recent weeks - the debate has even been dubbed "worm
wars". Parasites, such as roundworm, hookworm and whipworm could be
living inside more than 1.5 billion people according to the World Health
Organization (WHO).

  "People are usually infected through contaminated food but hookworm

larvae can also burrow into feet, get into blood vessels and make their way to
the heart and lungs. From there they can climb up to the oesophagus* and be
swallowed, ending up in the gut where they grow.

  Worms are not usually fatal but in serious cases they can cause abdominal
pain, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue and anaemia. In children,
they can also contribute to malnutrition, stunted growth, and absences from
school. A nurse gives deworming treatment to a boy in India

A giant panda at a zoo in the United States has given birth to twin cubs.

  Keepers at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC only

zoo said both cubs appeared healthy. Giant pandas are one of the most
endangered species in the world and are notoriously hard to breed in captivity.

  The National Zoo is one of only four zoos in the US to have pandas, which
are on loan from China. Mei Xiang, who has two other offspring, is one of the
zoo's star attractions and a Panda Cam on her enclosure crashed within
seconds of the birth of the first cub being announced because of the volume
of interest.

  Female pandas are able to conceive for only two or three days a year,
leading to a very low reproduction rate. Mei Xiang was artificially inseminated
with sperm from the zoo's resident male Tian Tian and a panda named Hui
Hui from Wolong, China. It will not be known for a while which is the father, or
what sex the cubs are.

  It has previously taken months before Mei Xiang's cubs have been
introduced to the public. AP news agency reports that her first cub, Tai Shan,
was born in 2005 and returned to China in 2010; her second cub, Bao Bao, is
two years old on Sunday and still lives at the zoo. The panda population is
threatened by habitat loss as land is increasingly inhabited by humans, with
about 1,800 pandas left in the wild in China. However, the number living in the
wild in China has gone up over the last 10 years.
