Rapidpulse cyclic aspiration system for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusions.

Background: The best strategy to achieve optimal reperfusion outcomes during mechanical thrombectomy remains to be defined. The RapidPulse Cyclic Aspiration System is a novel technology, delivering high-frequency pulsed vacuum forces to increase the efficiency of aspiration thrombectomy.

Methods: Prospective, multicenter, open-label, core lab-adjudicated, two-arm study comparing safety and efficacy of a feasibility version of the RapidPulse system compared with contemporary controls.

[Efficacy of the Paediatrics Palliative Care Team of Murcia according to the experience of the parents].

Introduction: The care at the end of children's lives must be sensitive to the needs of the child and their family. An understanding of the illness is required from the perspective of parents faced with the death of their child, in order to improve quality and guide the development of end-of-life care in Paediatrics.

Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted between June 2014 and June 2017 using a questionnaire, to assess the needs, experiences, and satisfaction with the care received, from a sample of parents who lost a child due to a foreseeable cause.

[Psychogenic pathology in the neurology unit. A review of the hospital admissions over the last 10 years in a third-level service].

Introduction: Psychogenic disorders are frequently seen in neurological practice and sometimes make it necessary to hospitalise the patient in order to rule out a potentially severe organic pathology.

Aim: To determine the profile of patients with a discharge diagnosis of psychogenic disorder that are admitted to the neurology unit of a Spanish hospital.

Patients And Methods: The neurology unit discharge abstracts from the last 10 years were reviewed and the patients who were diagnosed with 'non-organicity' were selected; a total of 28 demographic, epidemiological and clinical variables were also collected.
