- The study focuses on the role of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), proposing that it could serve as a better biomarker for type-2 inflammation compared to total IgE.
- Researchers measured both serum (SsIgE) and nasosinusal (NsIgE) sIgE levels against various allergens in 174 CRS patients, finding a significant correlation between sIgE presence and clinical features like nasal polyps and asthma.
- Results indicated that SsIgE had a higher diagnostic accuracy (79.4%) for predicting outcomes of nasal challenge tests compared to total IgE, suggesting a need for further research into treatments like allerg
Background: Efficient recanalization of occluded cerebral arteries is crucial in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Double stent retrievers have shown the potential to enhance the rates of recanalization on the first pass. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the double stent retriever technique and the predictors of achieving first-pass effect in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Different biomarkers have been proposed to identify this inflammation because highly effective therapies have improved type-2 severe asthma control. We investigated the frequency of some biomarkers of type-2 inflammation (total IgE, sIgE, blood eosinophil, and FeNO) in the framework of severe asthma and assessed its ability to help us to choose the best biological therapy for each patient.

- Doctors often use a special procedure called carotid stenting for patients with a type of stroke known as acute tandem occlusions, but they need to carefully choose the right medicines to prevent problems like bleeding in the brain.
- In a study of 50 stroke patients, researchers tested different combinations of medicines to see which worked best to avoid complications after the stenting procedure.
- The results showed that using a certain brain scan (DE-CT) helped doctors pick the right medicine approach, which potentially reduced risks like severe bleeding and problems with the stent itself.
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the complications and outcome of the endovascular treatment of ruptured microaneurysms compared with the treatment of ruptured larger aneurysms.
Methods: 40 ruptured cerebral microaneurysms treated by endovascular techniques were selected retrospectively and compared with 207 larger ruptured cerebral aneurysms treated by endovascular techniques during the same time period. Medical charts and imaging studies were reviewed to analyze baseline clinical and epidemiologic characteristics, procedural complications, and clinical outcomes RESULTS: Cerebral microaneurysms had a higher incidence of intraoperative technical ruptures (13.
Adverse reactions to nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs are the second cause of reactions to drugs after beta-lactams. Prevalence of these reactions among general population is between 0.1-0.
