Introduction: The selection of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke in the elderly remains challenging due to the underrepresentation of these patients in landmark randomized trials. The aim of this study was to assess the association between age and the pre-stroke modified Rankin scale score with functional outcomes after EVT in elderly patients aged ≥80 years.
Methods: We prospectively collected data from consecutive elderly patients who underwent EVT of the anterior or posterior circulation at our institution between 2007 and 2022.
Background And Aim: The thrombectomy in the elderly prediction score (TERPS) for functional outcome after anterior circulation endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients ≥ 80 years was recently developed. The aim of this study was to assess predictors of functional outcome in the elderly and validate the prediction model.
Methods: Consecutive patients treated with EVT from the Oslo Acute Reperfusion Stroke Study were evaluated for inclusion.
One of the greatest challenges in orbital reconstruction is to obtain adequate orbital volume and globe projection after traumatic injury. Autologous bone graft has been considered the gold standard for orbital floor reconstruction, but the harvesting yields many possible complications, such as donor site morbidity. Bone resorption is a frequent problem that can lead to insufficient volume after graft placement.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of clinical and technical parameters, focusing on sex, age and EVT procedural factors, on functional outcome in primary MeVO (pMeVO) strokes.
Methods: 144 patients with pMeVO in the MCA territory from the Oslo Acute Reperfusion Stroke Study (OSCAR) were included.
Article Synopsis
- Mass casualty incidents (MCI), especially those involving children, are rare but complex situations that require thorough preparation and specialized emergency protocols.
- Medical personnel must quickly and efficiently assess and prioritize patients based on their medical needs when responding to an MCI.
- The report introduces a new training program for pediatric emergency providers that emphasizes the JumpSTART triage algorithm to enhance their skills in managing secondary triage during these critical incidents.
