Background And Purpose: ASPECTS quantifies early ischemic changes in anterior circulation stroke on NCCT but has interrater variability. We examined the agreement of conventional and automated ASPECTS and studied the value of computer-aided detection.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively collected imaging data from consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion undergoing thrombectomy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of medical students regarding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and how various information sources influenced these perspectives.
- A survey involving 295 first-year and 149 final-year students from KU Leuven showed that while final-year students had better knowledge and attitudes towards ECT, both groups scored below 50% in their overall knowledge.
- The findings suggest that limited instruction on ECT in medical education contributes to ongoing misinformation, and reliance on media as a source of information can lead to negative attitudes that should be addressed in the curriculum.
Elevated Mg(2+) levels in the hemolymph ([Mg(2+)](HL)) of brachyuran crabs have recently been demonstrated to limit cold tolerance by reducing motor and circulatory activity. Therefore, the limiting function of elevated [Mg(2+)](HL) on circulatory performance and arterial hemolymph flow was investigated by the pulsed-Doppler technique in the spider crab Maja squinado during progressive cooling from 12 degrees to 0 degrees C. [Mg(2+)](HL) were reduced from control levels of 39.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
June 1981
Stroke volume, systolic time intervals and related index variations induced by atropine/neostigmine (AN) (0.75 mg/l mg) decurarization mixture were investigated by non-invasive methods (ECG, phonocardiogram, thoracic impedance) in 15 anaesthetized normocapnic patients in a stable state after induction of anaesthesia and prior to surgical stimulation. Data showed decrease in mean heart rate (HR) (initial value: 82 beats/min; after 10 min: 57 beats/min; P less than 0.

Acta Anaesthesiol Belg
November 1979
The study includes 54 unselected coronary patients. Fifty underwent one or several aortocoronary bypass associated with left ventricular resection (3 times), mitral valve replacement (twice), aortic valve replacement (twice). Four patients underwent left ventricular resection alone.
