Background And Purpose: Malignant brain edema (MBE) occurring after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) could lead to severe disability and mortality. We aimed to investigate the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of MBE in patients with AIS after MT.
Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 155 patients with AIS of anterior circulation after MT were studied.
Background And Purpose: We examined functional outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) procedures following anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO)-related acute ischemic strokes (AIS). Results were based on admission non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) studies, using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) as standard metric.
Methods: Qualifying subjects were consecutive patients (N = 343) at a single center undergoing MT for ACLVO-related AIS.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to establish and evaluate an early biomarker prediction model of massive cerebral infarction caused by anterior circulation occlusion.
Methods: One hundred thirty-four patients with acute cerebral infarction from January 2018 to October 2020 were selected to establish the development cohort for the internal test of the nomogram. Ninety-one patients with acute cerebral infarction hospitalized in our hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were constituted the validation cohort for the external validation.
Background: BCL2L13 belongs to the BCL2 super family, with its protein product exhibits capacity of apoptosis-mediating in diversified cell lines. Previous studies have shown that BCL2L13 has functional consequence in several tumor types, including ALL and GBM, however, its function in kidney cancer remains as yet unclearly.
Methods: Multiple web-based portals were employed to analyze the effect of BCL2L13 in kidney cancer using the data from TCGA database.
