Background: Although mechanical thrombectomy (MT) represents the standard of care for ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO), the impact of sex on outcomes in tandem occlusions remains unclear. We investigated sex-based differences in outcomes after MT for tandem occlusions.
Methods: This multicenter observational study included consecutive patients with tandem occlusion treated with MT across three stroke centers (2021-2023).
The agricultural sector is a vital component of Bangladesh's economy, but its agri-food supply chain faces signifi-cant inefficiencies primarily due to the involvement of numerous intermediaries. This complexity not only reduces the profits for farmers but also affects the overall transparency and efficiency of the supply chain. This study aims to em-ploy blockchain technology to transform the traditional agri-food supply chain in Bangladesh, focusing on increasing transparency, enhancing efficiency, and improving profitability for farmers, thus potentially bolstering the entire agri-food ecosystem in the country.

- A study aimed to compare outcomes of general anesthesia (GA) versus non-general anesthesia (non-GA) in patients aged 90 and older undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke, a group often excluded from previous research.
- The analysis included 139 patients, with those receiving non-GA showing significantly worse outcomes in 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores and higher mortality rates.
- The findings suggest that nonagenarians treated with MT without GA have poorer prognoses, highlighting the need for further research on anesthesia techniques for this age group.
A Robust Routing Protocol in Cognitive Unmanned Aerial Vehicular Networks.
Sensors (Basel)
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The paper introduces a routing protocol for Cognitive Radio Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (CR-UAVs) designed to optimize communication in Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) by considering key factors like distance, speed, link quality, and energy consumption.
- - A unique feature, the Central Node Resolution Factor (CNRF), improves routing decisions, while predictive algorithms help manage challenges from high mobility, ensuring effective distance estimation with the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).
- - Simulation results indicate that this protocol outperforms existing methods in crucial areas like throughput and packet transmission delay, making it highly suitable for both defense and civilian UAV applications.
Urinary tract infections are widely recognized as prevalent bacterial infections frequently encountered in both hospital and community settings. The most common gram-negative bacterial pathogen in humans, extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, causes these diseases. A retrospective cross-sectional study in Karachi, Pakistan examined Escherichia coli's susceptibility to doxycycline, nalidixic acid and meropenem.
