Introduction: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of PMIX, a polyphenol-rich extract mixture from chestnut wood and olive, on growth performance, hematological parameters, immunity in serum and skin mucus, hepatic antioxidant enzymes, and intestinal cytokine expression in rainbow trout ().

Methods: Four experimental diets containing 0 g PMIX kg diet (control, C), 0.5 g PMIX kg diet (P0.

In many developing countries, human health problems are solved using local plants. Knowledge of their chemical composition and biological activities can contribute to the creation of natural-based products usefully employed in human health. In this work, we analysed leaves extracted with diverse eco-compatible procedures and subjected to chemical, microbiological, and cellular compatibility assays.

Background And Objectives: The optimal mechanical thrombectomy technique for distal, medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke remains unknown. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of 2 thrombectomy first-line approaches, direct aspiration (DA), and combined technique (CT) in patients with DMVOs.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of a prospectively collected multicenter database of patients with DMVOs (at or distal to M2 and A1), who underwent mechanical thrombectomy with JET D reperfusion catheters between January 2020 and December 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on patients who had ischemic strokes while on oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) to explore how transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) could help identify cardiac causes of stroke.
  • TEE was found to reveal potential cardiac mechanisms for stroke in 88% of the cases, with issues like valvular thrombi and asymptomatic infective endocarditis being common findings.
  • The results suggest that TEE significantly impacts treatment decisions, highlighting its importance in better understanding stroke causes and improving prevention strategies for future strokes in these patients.
