Background: Randomized trials have recently evaluated the non-inferiority of direct thrombectomy versus intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) followed by endovascular therapy in anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke in patients eligible for IVT within 4.5 h from stroke onset with controversial results. We aimed to assess the effect of IVT on the clinical outcome of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in the RESILIENT trial.

Current noninvasive methods, however, still lack robust evidence to support their clinical use. We aimed to estimate, as an exploratory hypothesis generating analysis, the discriminative power of four noninvasive methods to diagnose ICH.

- The study aimed to compare the wave morphology of intracranial pressure (ICP) measured via standard intraventricular catheter and a new noninvasive monitor (ICPni) in stroke patients.
- Data from 18 patients were analyzed, focusing on two key parameters of ICP wave morphology: time-to-peak (TTP) and the P2/P1 ratio, with the goal of assessing the accuracy of the ICPni monitor in detecting intracranial hypertension.
- Results showed strong correlation for the P2/P1 ratio and moderate for TTP between the two methods, indicating that the noninvasive method may be a reliable alternative for monitoring ICP in clinical settings.
Purpose: To correlate optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements with clinical parameters in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 22 patients with IIH and 11 controls. All participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination followed by spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and standard automated perimetry using the 30-2 program of the Humphrey visual field analyzer.
Purpose: To compare differences in the occurrence and changed domains of sexual dysfunction in obese and non-obese Brazilian women.
Methods: Female Sexual Function Index, based on six domains, to investigate 31 sexual dysfunction incidence for obese compared to 32 non-obese women, was used. Statistical analysis using ANOVA and MANOVA were performed to compare total scores of Female Sexual Function Index among groups and to identify the differences among domains, Student t -test was used.
