Abstract: A system and method is provided for improving the patient outcome for a subject having an aneurysm. The method includes determining that the subject has the aneurysm, positioning a vagus nerve stimulation system on the subject, the vagus nerve stimulation system being configured to provide an electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve of the subject. Stimulating the vagus nerve of the subject with the vagus nerve stimulation system to at least one of: prevent further growth of the aneurysm; decrease the likelihood that the aneurysm ruptures; and decrease effects of rupture, when the aneurysm of the subject ruptures.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for isolating, detecting, and/or analyzing brain-derived cells or particles in the blood circulation of human and animal subjects.

Abstract: A system and method performing a medical imaging process includes arranging a subject to receive an exogenously administered free radical probe, performing an Overhauser-enhanced MRI (OMRI) imaging process to acquire data from the subject, and reconstructing the data to generate a report indicating a spatial distribution of free radicals in the subject.
