Objectives: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Still, the efficacy and safety in patients older than 85 years of age are not conclusive by the present randomized controlled trials' data (RCT). Aging is a multifactorial process and the impact of MT on this specific population needs to be further analyzed.

Impaired PAH enzyme activity leads to the accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) and its metabolites in the bloodstream, which disrupts the central nervous system and causes psychomotor retardation. Early diagnosis of PKU is essential for timely intervention.

- PKU is a genetic disorder resulting from issues with the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme, leading to high phenylalanine levels that harm the nervous system and cause mental impairment.
- Current PKU diagnostic methods are complex and expensive, but simpler electrochemical detection methods show promise for being more efficient and accurate.
- The study evaluated different nanomaterial-modified electrodes, finding that the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide gold electrode (ERGO) had the best sensitivity and detection capabilities for assessing phenylalanine levels in blood samples.
Health literacy (HL) level is related to promotion of health, improved health behaviors, and early diagnosis of diseases, as well as the appropriate use of health services. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is the primary method of protection against cervical cancer and recommended for women aged 9 to 27. This study aims to assess the university students' knowledge about HPV and the association between HL and HPV vaccination.

While their biomass is highly variable at multiple spatial and temporal scales, the underlying drivers are as yet little understood. Both in situ sampling and remote-sensing techniques often lack the temporal resolution or coverage to simultaneously capture short-term (intratidal to daily) and longer-term (weekly to annual) biomass changes.
