In recent years, civil engineering has increasingly embraced communication tools for automation, with sensors playing a pivotal role, especially in structural health monitoring (SHM). These sensors enable precise data acquisition, measuring parameters like force, displacement, and temperature and transmit data for timely interventions to prevent failures. This approach reduces reliance on manual inspections, offering more accurate outcomes.

- The ProFATE trial investigated the impact of temporary blood flow arrest during endovascular thrombectomy on vessel recanalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
- Conducted across four UK centers, the study randomly assigned 134 adults to either a flow arrest or nonflow arrest group to assess the effectiveness of the procedure.
- Results showed a slight increase in vessel recanalization in the flow arrest group (74.4%) compared to the nonflow arrest group (70.8%), suggesting a potential benefit of temporary blood flow arrest during treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Professor Klaus Fassbender is a prominent German neurologist known for his significant contributions to understanding neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as for improving treatment strategies.
- His research has also advanced knowledge in cerebrovascular diseases, particularly in stroke mechanisms, leading to innovative therapeutic methods that apply lab discoveries in real-world clinical situations.
- He pioneered the mobile stroke unit (MSU) concept, which allows for immediate prehospital stroke diagnosis and treatment, significantly improving patient outcomes by ensuring timely medical intervention.
Article Synopsis
- - The pre-frontal cortex is crucial for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functions, and understanding lesions in this area is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
- - The systematic review identified a strong link between right-handedness and cognition impairment due to prefrontal cortex lesions, with executive dysfunction being the most common symptom, followed by emotional instability and aphasia.
- - Noninvasive brain stimulation is highlighted as an effective treatment for disorders related to prefrontal cortex lesions, but more research is needed to explore the relationship between handedness and lesion occurrence.
