Introduction: Data on safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke in older patients are limited and controversial, and people aged 80 or older were under-represented in randomized trials. Our aim was to assess EVT effect for ischemic stroke patients aged ⩾80 at a nationwide level.
Patients And Methods: The cohort included stroke patients undergoing EVT from the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke (IRETAS).
Unlabelled: The decomposition of soil organic carbon within tropical peatlands is influenced by the functional composition of the microbial community. In this study, building upon our previous work, we recovered a total of 28 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) classified as Bathyarchaeia from the tropical peatlands of the Pastaza-Marañón Foreland Basin (PMFB) in the Amazon. Using phylogenomic analyses, we identified nine genus-level clades to have representatives from the PMFB, with four forming a putative novel family (" Paludivitaceae") endemic to peatlands.

Instead, little is known about the effectiveness of MT in stroke patients with posterior tandem occlusion (p-TO). We aimed to compare MT within 24 h from last known well time in ischemic stroke patients with p-TO versus a-TO.

Methods: Selected participants were asked to fill in a self-administered questionnaire and to self-collect urine and saliva samples.
Results: Among the 1002 participants, 81 (8.
Article Synopsis
- A survey was conducted among university students in Italy to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding HPV prevention.
- About 41.7% of students were aware of HPV and its preventive measures, with factors like gender, age, and prior information from health professionals influencing their knowledge.
- Only 39.1% had received at least one HPV vaccine dose, highlighting a gap in vaccine uptake, and pointing to the need for improved educational programs for better awareness and vaccination rates.
