The Hothouse Archives
No full textThe ICI Berlin in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science is pleased to announce an exhibition by visual artist and theorist Suzanne Anker. The Hothouse Archives brings together two groups of photographs that picture the blurring of boundaries between nature and culture. The first suite of pictures, ‘Coral Seed Bank’ (2007) capture fragments of brain corals suspended in tanks located at the Mote Marine Laboratory at Summerland Key, Florida. The morphology of coral, similar to the convolutions in the brain, create vital connections between all parts of the organism. The vivid colors are a natural wonder, rendering this stationary carnivore as a masquerading plant. In the second suite of photographs, ‘Laboratory Life’ several layers of images are superimposed on top of one another in the form of a palimpsest. Images garnered from scientific laboratories form the technological base layer. An image of a transparent garden is then transferred as a top layer. The chance provoke questions concerning our enchantment with both nature and technology.
Suzanne Anker (www.geneculture.org) has exhibited her work at the J. P. Getty Museum, the Kunsthaus Meran, the Phillips Collection, the Institute for Art and Urban Resources in NY among others. She has been a guest curator at the New York Academy of Sciences as well as the author of many texts concerning the implications of the bio-technological revolution on culture and society. She currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where she is Chair of the Fine Arts Department

MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound of Osseous Metastases Treatment Parameters Associated With Successful Pain Reduction
No full textBackground: A phase 3 multicenter trial demonstrated that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound (US) is a safe, noninvasive treatment that alleviated pain from bone metastases. However, outcomes varied among institutions (from 0%-100% treatment success).
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify patient selection, technical treatment, and imaging parameters that predict successful pain relief of osseous metastases after MRI-guided focused US.
Materials and methods: This was a secondary analysis of a phase 3 clinical study that included participants who received MRI-guided focused US treatment for painful osseous metastases. Noncontrast CT was obtained before treatment. T2-weighted and T1-weighted postcontrast MRIs at 1.5 T or 3 T were obtained before, at the time of, and at 3 months after treatment. Numerical Rating Scale pain scores and morphine equivalent daily dose data were obtained over a 3-month follow-up period. At the 3-month endpoint, participants were categorized as pain relief responders or nonresponders based on Numerical Rating Scale and morphine equivalent daily dose data. Demographics, technical parameters, and imaging features associated with pain relief were determined using stepwise univariable and multivariable models. Responder rates between the subgroup of participants with all predictive parameters and that with none of the parameters were compared using Fisher exact test.
Results: The analysis included 99 participants (mean age, 59 ± 14 years; 56 women). The 3 variables that predicted successful pain relief were energy density on the bone surface (EDBS) (P = 0.001), the presence of postprocedural periosteal devascularization (black band, BB+) (P = 0.005), and female sex (P = 0.02). The subgroup of participants with BB+ and EDBS greater than 5 J/mm2 had a larger decrease in mean pain score (5.2; 95% confidence interval, 4.6-5.8) compared with those without (BB-, EDBS ≤ 5 J/mm2) (1.1; 95% confidence interval, 0.8-3.0; P < 0.001). Participants with all 3 predictive variables had a pain relief responder rate of 93% compared with 0% in participants having none of the predictive variables (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: High EDBS during treatment, postprocedural periosteal devascularization around the tumor site (BB+), and female sex increased the likelihood of pain relief after MRI-guided focused US of osseous metastasis
