Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the clinical and radiological factors affecting the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion treated only with medical management.
  • A total of 585 patients were analyzed, revealing that 56% experienced poor functional outcomes, which were linked to older age, higher NIHSS scores, larger infarct volumes, and not receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
  • The research highlighted that factors like age, NIHSS score, infarct volume, and IVT status significantly influenced outcomes, while finding that complete recanalization after 24 hours improved recovery chances.

Wine phenolic compounds, often known as polyphenols, are a diverse group of secondary bioactive compounds derived from grapes. They play a crucial role in defining the sensory characteristics, functionality, and health benefits of wine. This review explores the complex chemistry of these compounds, focusing on key classes such as flavonoids, which include flavanones, flavonols, anthocyanins, and flavan-3-ols, and non-flavonoids, such as hydroxycinnamic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids, and stilbenes.

We previously described an approach called RealSeqS to evaluate aneuploidy in plasma cell-free DNA through the amplification of ~350,000 repeated elements with a single primer. We hypothesized that an unbiased evaluation of the large amount of sequencing data obtained with RealSeqS might reveal other differences between plasma samples from patients with and without cancer. This hypothesis was tested through the development of a machine learning approach called Alu Profile Learning Using Sequencing (A-PLUS) and its application to 7615 samples from 5178 individuals, 2073 with solid cancer and the remainder without cancer.
