Background And Purpose: The safety and effectiveness of endovascular techniques in elderly patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) remain controversial. We investigated the angiographic and clinical outcomes of nonagenarians treated with different endovascular techniques using a balloon guide catheter (BGC), distal aspiration catheter (DAC), and/or stent retriever (SR).
Methods: We analyzed the data from the Registry of Combined versus Single Thrombectomy Techniques (ROSSETTI) of consecutive nonagenarian patients with anterior circulation LVO and compared the outcomes of those treated with BGC+noDAC+SR (101-group), BGC+DAC+SR (111-group), and noBGC+DAC+SR (011-group).
Background And Purpose: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with M2 segment occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is debatable. This study assessed the efficacy, safety, and functional outcomes of EVT in M2 occlusion patients, examining differences in outcomes based on the dominance of the occluded segment (DomM2 vs. Non-DomM2).

We aimed to apply a simple strategy, based on several factors, to impute, when missing, the type of administrated human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines to study its association with thyroiditis.
Methods: The cohort study included Spanish health records (BIFAP) of girls.
Objective: To develop a domain-specific large language model (LLM) for LI-RADS v2018 categorization of hepatic observations based on free-text descriptions extracted from MRI reports.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 291 small liver observations, divided into training (n = 141), validation (n = 30), and test (n = 120) datasets. Of these, 120 were fictitious, and 171 were extracted from 175 MRI reports from a single institution.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of different stentrievers (SRs) used in mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke, focusing on their design characteristics and their impact on the first-pass effect (FPE).
- The research included 610 patients, looking to determine how aspects like model, brand, size, and length of SRs influenced outcomes, specifically comparing modified and true FPE results.
- Findings reveal that these characteristics did not significantly impact the success rates of achieving FPE, suggesting that factors beyond the design of SRs may play a bigger role in treatment outcomes.
