Emergent Carotid Stenting During Thrombectomy in Tandem Occlusions Secondary to Dissection: A STOP-CAD Secondary Study.

The optimal endovascular management of cervical carotid dissection causing tandem occlusion remains uncertain. We investigated the impact of emergent carotid stenting during endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with tandem occlusion secondary to cervical carotid artery dissection. This was a secondary analysis of patients treated with EVT for AIS due to occlusive carotid artery dissection and tandem occlusion included in the retrospective international Antithrombotic Treatment for Stroke Prevention in Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study.

Experimental and analytical study on axial behaviour of square corrugated concrete filled single and double skin tube stub columns.

Concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns have become widely utilized in building construction and bridges, thanks to their exceptional structural capabilities. Therefore, this study investigates the axial compressive behavior of square CFDST columns. The study aims to explore the influence of external and internal plate shapes (flat or corrugated plates) and different widths of internal steel tubes on the axial compressive behavior.

Effectiveness of Focus Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Ameliorating Risk of Depression in Mental Health Nurses.

Mental health nurses care for patients with mental health and addiction problems. The particular nature of their job makes them prone to increased risk of depression. Timely use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in a focus group of nurses yields significant results when it comes to minimizing vulnerability to depression risk.

Unveiling the mechanical performance of partially replaced coronal restorations in root canal-treated teeth: an in-vitro study.

Objectives: To compare the mechanical performance of partially replaced (repaired) intra-coronal restorations to totally replaced ones in root canal-treated teeth.

Methods: Thirty maxillary second premolars were selected according to strict criteria, mounted on moulds, and had mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities prepared. Resin composite restorative material was used to perform the initial restoration, followed by aging procedures using thermo-mechanical cycling fatigue to replicate six months of intraoral aging.

Time-Related Voice and Swallowing Symptoms in Patients With Uncomplicated Thyroidectomy Versus Those With Other Laryngeal Disorders.

Objectives: This study conducted a subjective 6-month follow-up to evaluate voice and swallowing changes after thyroid surgery in patients without clinical evidence of recurrent nerve injury.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, voice and swallowing alterations were assessed in 56 adult patients who underwent thyroidectomy, compared to 59 patients with laryngeal conditions and 60 controls. Voice and swallowing changes were measured using auditory perceptual assessment, laryngoscopy, the Arabic Thyroidectomy‑related voice and symptom questionnaire (A-TVSQ), the Arabic VHI (A-VHI), and Swallowing Impairment Scores (SIS-6).
