ARRS GLOBAL PARTNER SOCIETY PROGRAM
The mission of ARRS’ Global Partner Society Program is to build long-standing relationships with key leaders and organizations in the worldwide imaging community—increasing awareness of our society’s services in specific nations, while raising the stature of Global Partner Societies among ARRS members. Every year, the ARRS Annual Meeting Global Exchange incorporates one partner society into the educational and social fabric of our meeting. ARRS members then reciprocate at the partner society’s meeting that same year.
KOREAN SOCIETY OF RADIOLOGY
The GPS partner to be featured at the 2023 ARRS Annual Meeting on the stunning island of Oahu in Honolulu, HI, will be our longtime colleagues from the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR). Established in 1945, KSR remains the official society representing all physicians of Korea working in the field of radiology. With a membership of more than 3,000 practicing imaging professionals, KSR also publishes two scholarly journals: the Korean Journal of Radiology and Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology. The 2023 ARRS Global Exchange Featuring KSR, “Changing Paradigms in Tumor Response Assessment,” will be the latest in a very long succession of successful educational partnerships between the Americans and South Koreans.
North America’s first radiological society, the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) remains dedicated to the advancement of medicine through the profession of medical imaging and its allied sciences. An international forum for progress in radiology since the discovery of the x-ray, ARRS maintains its mission of improving health through a community committed to advancing knowledge and skills with the world’s longest continuously published radiology journal—American Journal of Roentgenology—the ARRS Annual Meeting, InPractice magazine, topical symposia, myriad multimedia educational materials, as well as awarding scholarships via The Roentgen Fund®.

Connections in the brain involved in epileptic seizures identified
2023-04-17
Researchers at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology have discovered a network of connections in the brain linked to seizures in people with epilepsy.
The team believe that their findings, published in Brain, will help redesign neurological operations for patients whose epilepsy can’t be controlled by medication. By disconnecting certain pathways in the frontal lobe, patients may be able to enjoy long-lasting freedom from seizures.
There are 500,000 people in the UK with epilepsy and 50 million people have the condition worldwide. But one in three cannot ...
New details of Tully monster revealed
2023-04-17
For more than half a century, the Tully monster (Tullimonstrum gregarium), an enigmatic animal that lived about 300 million years ago, has confounded paleontologists, with its strange anatomy making it difficult to classify. Recently, a group of researchers proposed a hypothesis that Tullimonstrum was a vertebrate similar to cyclostomes (jawless fish like lamprey and hagfish). If it was, then the Tully monster would potentially fill a gap in the evolutionary history of early vertebrates. Studies ...
Environmental toxin PCB found in deep sea trench
2023-04-17
PCB has been banned in most countries since the 1970s, but that doesn't mean it no longer exists. Now, deep-sea researchers report that they have found PCB at the bottom of the Atacama Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
During their expedition to the deep-sea trench, the research team retrieved sediment cores and analyzed them for PCB occurrences at five different locations in the trench. All the samples of surface sediment analyzed contained PCB.
The study, led by Professor Anna Sobek from the Department of Environmental Science at Stockholm University and Professor Ronnie N. Glud, director of the Danish Center for Hadal Research at ...

Lower risk of severe illness and death in newborns of low-income immigrant than Canadian-born females
2023-04-17
Newborns of non-refugee immigrant females are at overall lower risk of serious illness and death than those of Canadian-born females in low-income neighbourhoods in Ontario, according to new research published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.221711.
Previous research has looked at the risk of adverse outcomes for newborns in low- v. high-income neighbourhoods, but there is little evidence on the respective risks for immigrant and nonimmigrant mothers living in similar low-income neighbourhoods. Both immigration status and living in a low-income ...
