Objectives: The aim of the HISPANIAS (HyperperfusIon Syndrome Post-carotid ANgIoplasty And Stenting) study was to define CHS rates and develop a clinical predictive model for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) after carotid artery stenting (CAS).
Background: CHS is a severe complication following CAS. The presence of clinical manifestations is estimated on the basis of retrospective reviews and is still uncertain.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the local ecological knowledge of edible plants with underground storage organs (USOs) among rural populations in North-Patagonia, aiming to understand usage patterns influenced by demographics like age, gender, and ethnicity.
- Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 51 locals, revealing that older individuals and those living with multiple generations use USOs more often, while Mapuche-identifying individuals utilize these plants the most frequently.
- The findings highlight the importance of wild plants in the Mapuche community for both historical sustenance and cultural identity, suggesting their potential in cultural revival and health promotion initiatives.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: We studied the ethnoecological knowledge of medicinal Oxalis adenophylla in 3 rural villages of north Patagonia, Argentina. To evaluate links between use frequency, ethnoecological knowledge, sociocultural variables and the conservation status of this plant.
Materials And Method: Forty informants were interviewed in relation to their knowledge, use, perception and the ecology of Oxalis adenophylla.
