Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether a medical procedure called thrombectomy helps patients who have a large stroke as seen on a specific type of scan called a noncontrast CT within 24 hours of having the stroke.
- It involved 300 patients from different hospitals who were split into two groups; one group received the thrombectomy treatment, while the other only received regular care.
- The main goal was to see if those who had thrombectomy had better recovery after 90 days compared to those who didn’t, along with checking if there were any serious side effects.
Background: Inflammation contributes to morbidity following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) offers a noninvasive approach to target the inflammatory response following SAH.
Methods: In this prospective, triple-blinded, randomized, controlled trial, twenty-seven patients were randomized to taVNS or sham stimulation.
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of death and disability. AIS is caused by an embolus or thrombus that restricts blood flow to the brain tissue. Despite intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy, a substantial number of patients do not achieve effective reperfusion.

- Temperature is a crucial oceanographic variable that is often inadequately measured beneath the ocean surface and near the seafloor, but recent advancements in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology are changing that.
- DAS can repurpose long fiber-optic communication cables into sensitive temperature sensors that detect minute changes, allowing for detailed monitoring of oceanic phenomena like internal waves and upwelling.
- High-resolution findings from the NW Mediterranean Sea demonstrate DAS's effectiveness, revealing temperature anomalies over several kilometers with significant accuracy, paving the way for better understanding ocean behavior and its broader implications in various ocean-related fields.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems provide seconds to tens of seconds of warning time before potentially-damaging ground motions are felt. For optimal warning times, seismic sensors should be installed as close as possible to expected earthquake sources. However, while the most hazardous earthquakes on Earth occur underwater, most seismological stations are located on-land; precious seconds may go by before these earthquakes are detected.
