Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Thrombectomy Versus Thrombolysis for Large Vessel Occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systemic Review.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common cause behind a significant number of people who develop disabilities or die worldwide. Most of the strokes that occur globally are attributed to AIS as a result of large vessel occlusions that typically occur in arteries like the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries. Primary treatments for AIS are mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), and the clinical scenario can dictate what method would provide the most optimal outcome for the patient.

Approaches to the Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review of Past Advances, Recent Developments, and Best Practices.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony being the most significant contributing factor. Other risk factors for PPH include increased maternal age, coagulation abnormalities, retained placenta, and prolonged third-stage labor. Despite the potential for prevention through early detection and management, PPH can still occur even in the absence of known risk factors.

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Gallstones: A Systematic Review.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is steatosis of the liver that resembles alcohol-induced liver injury but is a metabolic disorder. Most patients are obese with increased triglyceride levels due to increased intake of fatty food, which can cause excess fat to build up in the liver. At the same time, continuous ingestion of fatty foods can lead to gallstones (GS) due to the overproduction of cholesterol.
