The Gulf States are home to industries emitting styrene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (SBTEX). Presently, adverse health effects of ambient SBTEX exposure in highly polluted regions, such as the Gulf States, must be evaluated. Epidemiologists, however, are limited by inadequate estimates of ambient SBTEX.

However, existing methods are limited by imbalanced samples from observations. Here, we introduce a novel deep-learning model-measurement fusion method (DeepMMF) constrained by physical laws inferred from a chemical transport model (CTM) to estimate NO concentrations over the Continental United States (CONUS).

- - Patients with a history of gamma knife surgery for vestibular schwannoma can develop rare ruptured pseudoaneurysms in the distal anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), and treatment usually involves either surgical trapping or endovascular occlusion.
- - This study highlights the first use of endosaccular coil embolization to treat a ruptured pseudoaneurysm in AICA while preserving the artery, with the patient experiencing recanalization that required additional treatments over two years.
- - The findings suggest that endosaccular coil embolization can be a safe approach for managing radiation-induced pseudoaneurysms, but ongoing monitoring and readiness for further interventions are essential due to the risk of regrowth. *
Article Synopsis
- Venous aneurysms associated with dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) typically arise from long-standing venous hypertension and present as an enlargement of the draining vein, but some saccular aneurysms can occur without clear evidence of hypertension, making them quite rare.
- This report highlights two cases of ruptured saccular venous aneurysms linked to dAVF, both lacking signs of venous hypertension and exhibiting significant curvature or narrowing in the draining veins, which were successfully treated using transarterial embolization.
- The findings suggest that while hemodynamic stress is important in the formation of venous aneurysms, prior venous hypertension is not essential for their development, emphasizing the
Background: Endovascular therapy (EVT) is the treatment of choice for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion. However, in many patients, successful EVT recanalization does not correspond to a clinical improvement, called futile recanalization (FR). We aimed to identify stroke risk factors and patient characteristics associated with FR in AIS with large core infarct (LCI).
