Transarterial Embolization for Spontaneous Soft-Tissue Hematomas: Predictive Factors for Early Death.

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective monocentric study was to assess the safety and efficacy of spontaneous soft-tissue hematoma transarterial embolization (TAE) and to evaluate predictive factors for early mortality (≤30 days) after TAE for spontaneous soft-tissue hematoma (SSTH).

Materials And Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2022, all patients referred to our hospital for spontaneous soft-tissue hematoma and treated by emergency TAE were reviewed. Inclusion criteria were patients: ≥18-year-old, with active bleeding shown on preoperative multidetector row computed tomography, with spontaneous soft-tissue hematoma, and treated by TAE.

Transarterial Embolization for Active Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Predictors of Early Mortality and Early Rebleeding.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine predictive factors of early mortality and early rebleeding (≤30 days) following transarterial embolization (TAE) for treatment of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods: All consecutive patients admitted for acute gastrointestinal bleeding to the interventional radiology department in a tertiary center between January 2012 and January 2022 were included. Exclusion criteria were patients: (1) aged < 18-year-old, (2) referred to the operation room without TAE, (3) treated for hemobilia, (4) with mesenteric hematoma, (5) lost to follow-up within 30 days after the procedure.

Topographical analysis of stimulus-related and response-related electrical scalp activity and interhemispheric dynamics in normal humans.

It is believed that reaction time estimates of interhemispheric relay (IHR) time or accuracy cost reflect motor relay and that visual evoked response potential (ERP) estimates reflect visual relay. If this is so, then response-related ERP estimates of IHR might be expected to correlate more with reaction time (RT) estimates of IHR than visual ERPs do, and the former ought to interact with the latter. A simple reaction time experiment (Poffenberger paradigm) was carried out with an 18-electrode montage on 10 normal subjects to investigate visual and motor interhemispheric relay effects and their interrelation.
