Endovascular therapy in patients with acute intracranial non-terminal internal carotid artery occlusion (ICA-I).

Background: Acute intracranial occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) can be distinguished into (a) occlusion of the terminal ICA, involving the proximal segments of the middle or anterior cerebral artery (ICA-L/-T) and (b) non-terminal intracranial occlusions of the ICA with patent circle of Willis (ICA-I). While patients with ICA-L/-T occlusion were included in all randomized controlled trials on endovascular therapy (EVT) in anterior large vessel occlusion, data on EVT in ICA-I occlusion is scarce. We thus aimed to evaluate effectiveness and safety of EVT in ICA-I occlusions in comparison to ICA-L/-T occlusions.

Properties of Cosmic Deuterons Measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

Precision measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station of the deuteron (D) flux are presented. The measurements are based on 21×10^{6} D nuclei in the rigidity range from 1.9 to 21 GV collected from May 2011 to April 2021.

Temporal Structures in Positron Spectra and Charge-Sign Effects in Galactic Cosmic Rays.

We present the precision measurements of 11 years of daily cosmic positron fluxes in the rigidity range from 1.00 to 41.9 GV based on 3.

Endovascular therapy in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion and patent circle of Willis.

Background: Occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) may extend into the middle or anterior cerebral artery (ICA-T) or be confined to the intracranial (ICA-I) or extracranial segment (ICA-E). While there is excellent evidence for endovascular therapy (EVT) in ICA-T occlusions, studies on EVT in non-tandem ICA-I or ICA-E occlusions are scarce.

Objective: To characterize EVT-treated patients with ICA-I- and ICA-E occlusion by comparing them with ICA-T occlusions.

Properties of Cosmic-Ray Sulfur and Determination of the Composition of Primary Cosmic-Ray Carbon, Neon, Magnesium, and Sulfur: Ten-Year Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

We report the properties of primary cosmic-ray sulfur (S) in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.
