Fly and treat: Endovascular treatment of ruptured aneurysms at an insular tertiary center.

(Objectives) Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening condition associated with poor outcomes. Early intervention is critical, particularly in low-volume hospitals, which are advised to transfer aSAH patients to high-volume centers. This study examines a novel protocol implemented in 2016 at Região Autónoma da Madeira, a Portuguese island.

Physical-hydric attributes in Latossolo Amarelo under systems of use in the Cerrado/Caatinga ecotone areas in Piauí State, Brazil.

The Cerrado/Caatinga transition region in Piauí State has a high potential for production of food, fiber and energy, representing about 19% of the total area of the State. This work aimed to evaluate physical and hydraulic attributes under different crops in Latossolo Amarelo Distrófico (Oxisol) in cerrado/caatinga transition areas, in the Southwest of Piauí. In this study five areas with different crops were evaluated as follows: areas under pasture crop with Andropogon gayanus grass with three and six years of crop, area under intensive crop of Pennisetum purpureum grass, area under orchard of Annona squamosa L.

Soil Physical Quality in Agricultural Systems on the Cerrado of Piauí State, Brazil.

Soil quality is essential for maintaining the sustainability of agro-ecosystems and ecosystem services provided by this natural resource. The present study aimed to assess the physical quality of soil through the characterization of the physical properties in grain production systems in the Southwest region of Piauí State, Brazil. The study was carried out in the Cerrado region of Piauí in four cities in areas of expansion of the agricultural frontier of the state: Baixa Grande do Ribeiro, Sebastião Leal, Uruçuí and Bom Jesus.

Introduction: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute neuropathy that rarely compromises bladder function. Conservative management including clean intermittent catheterization and pharmacotherapy is the primary approach for hypocompliant contracted bladder. Surgical treatment may be used in refractory cases to improve bladder compliance and capacity in order to protect the upper urinary tract.
