Patients' perceptions on outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.

Background: The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a clinician-reported scale that measures the degree of disability in patients who suffered a stroke. Patients' perception of a meaningful recovery from severe stroke, expected value of a stroke intervention, and the effect of disparities are largely unknown.

Methods: We conducted a survey of patients, their family members, and accompanying visitors to understand their personal preferences and expectations for acute strokes potentially eligible for acute endovascular intervention using a hypothetical scenario of a severe stroke in a standardized questionnaire.

Preliminary experience with diffuse correlation spectroscopy in acute ischemic stroke neurointerventional procedures.

Background: Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a non-invasive optical technique that enables continuous blood flow measurements in various organs, including the brain. DCS quantitatively measures blood flow from temporal fluctuations in the intensity of diffusely reflected light caused by the dynamic scattering of light from moving red blood cells within the tissue.

Methods: We performed bilateral cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements using a custom DCS device in patients undergoing neuroendovascular interventions for acute ischemic stroke.

f. sp. (Forv), the causal agent of root and stem rot disease, is the main pathogen affecting vanilla production.

The Coaching for Cognition in Alzheimer's (COCOA) trial: Study design.

Unlabelled: Comprehensive treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires not only pharmacologic treatment but also management of existing medical conditions and lifestyle modifications including diet, cognitive training, and exercise. We present the design and methodology for the Coaching for Cognition in Alzheimer's (COCOA) trial. AD and other dementias result from the interplay of multiple interacting dysfunctional biological systems.

The geometry of clinical labs and wellness states from deeply phenotyped humans.

Longitudinal multi-omics measurements are highly valuable in studying heterogeneity in health and disease phenotypes. For thousands of people, we have collected longitudinal multi-omics data. To analyze, interpret and visualize this extremely high-dimensional data, we use the Pareto Task Inference (ParTI) method.
