Introduction: Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE) in patients with chronic SubDural Hematoma (cSDH) is a novel treatment approach, albeit the specific role of MMAE in the treatment of cSDH is not yet defined.
Research Question: The aim of this work is to provide a consensus-based statement from a multidisciplinary panel on the current role of MMAE in patients with cSDH.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was performed using the keywords MMAE and cSDH.
Accuracy of preoperative lung ultrasound score for the prediction of major adverse cardiac events in elderly patients undergoing HIP surgery under spinal anesthesia: The LUSHIP multicenter observational prospective study.
Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Researchers believe that lung ultrasound scores (LUS) can better predict cardiac risks in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, compared to existing methods like the Revised Cardiac Risk Index and ASA Physical Status.
- The study involved 877 patients across 11 Italian hospitals, finding a significant correlation between higher LUS scores and complications, with a notable incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
- Results showed that a preoperative LUS score of 8 or higher was more effective at predicting MACE than traditional scoring methods, indicating its potential as a valuable tool for risk assessment in this patient population.
Article Synopsis
- Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and troubling problem that can happen after surgery, leading to bad outcomes for patients and extra costs for hospitals.
- The Safe Brain Initiative care bundle (SBI-CB) was tested in this study to see if it could help reduce POD in patients after surgery.
- The study found that many patients (16.36%) still experienced POD, especially younger and older people, and those who had longer surgeries under general anesthesia were at higher risk.
Molecular analysis of a self-organizing signaling pathway for axial patterning from egg to tailbud.

embryos provide a favorable material to dissect the sequential steps that lead to dorsal-ventral (D-V) and anterior-posterior (A-P) cell differentiation. Here, we analyze the signaling pathways involved in this process using loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches. The initial step was provided by Hwa, a transmembrane protein that robustly activates early β-catenin signaling when microinjected into the ventral side of the embryo leading to complete twinned axes.
