Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) carries a high risk of recurrence despite aggressive medical management. The aim of our study is to present our initial experience with the Onyx Frontier™ balloon-mounted drug-eluting stent (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, CA) for AIS due to ICAD.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study describing the technical feasibility, safety, and performance of using the Onyx Frontier™ balloon-mounted drug-eluting stent in patients with acute intracranial vessel occlusion due to ICAD across three comprehensive stroke centers in the United States.
Accuracy of ChatGPT responses on tracheotomy for patient education.

November 2024
Objective: To investigate the accuracy of information provided by ChatGPT-4o to patients about tracheotomy.
Methods: Twenty common questions of patients about tracheotomy were presented to ChatGPT-4o twice (7-day intervals). The accuracy, clarity, relevance, completeness, referencing, and usefulness of responses were assessed by a board-certified otolaryngologist and a board-certified intensive care unit practitioner with the Quality Analysis of Medical Artificial Intelligence (QAMAI) tool.
The impact of geographical origin on the chemical composition of acorns from Quercus species has significant attention. This study aimed to explore the phenolic composition of methanolic extracts, tocopherol content, and fatty acid composition of acorn oils from six different populations of acorns. The obtained results revealed that acorn oil from BniMtir exhibited high levels of α-tocopherol (58 mg/kg).

However, it is unknown which technique leads to better technical and clinical success. We aimed to determine which technique yields the most effective first pass reperfusion during MT.

- The study investigated the effects of sodium-β-O-Methyl cellobioside sulfate (mCBS), a substance that neutralizes extracellular histones, on sepsis severity in sheep.
- It involved 24 female sheep with sepsis induced by fecal peritonitis, divided into three groups: control, early treatment, and late treatment, with treatment timing affecting outcomes.
- Results showed that early mCBS treatment led to better blood pressure maintenance, lower need for norepinephrine, and improved overall health markers compared to controls, with all mCBS-treated animals surviving.
