Women and birth partners' experiences of cervical ripening at home and in hospital.

Background: In the United Kingdom, induction of labour rates are rapidly rising, and around a third of pregnant women undergo the procedure. The first stage, cervical ripening, traditionally carried out in hospital, is increasingly offered outpatient - or 'at home'. The current induction of labour rates place considerable demand on maternity services and impact women's experiences of care, and at home cervical ripening has been suggested as potential solution for alleviating these.

Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke Beyond the 4.5-Hour Window: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Background: A minority of patients with stroke qualify for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) within 4.5-hour window. The safety and efficacy of IVT beyond this period have not been well studied.

THE IMPACT OF NEUTROPHIL-TO-LYMPHOCYTE RATIO ON SHORT- AND LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS FOLLOWING ELECTIVE INFRARENAL EVAR.

Objective: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a readily available parameter, associated with long-term outcomes in cardiovascular conditions. This study aims to analyze the predictors of NLR and its impact on prognosis and disease-specific outcomes following EVAR.

Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study.

Sodium fluorescein video Angiography-Assisted clipping of intracranial Aneurysms: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: Ensuring aneurysm exclusion while maintaining vessel patency is crucial during intracranial aneurysm clipping. Although digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for intraoperative vascular imaging, some centers have reported using fluorescein sodium video angiography (FNa-VA). However, a synthesis of these findings is still lacking.
