Background And Purpose: The acute vertebrobasilar occlusion associated with the poor prognosis, particularly tandem occlusion. However, few data on the efficacy of the endovascular therapy was indicated in this occlusion. We investigated whether the additional rescue extracranial vertebral stenting improved clinical outcome by modified Rankin scale (mRS) score within 3 months after the procedure.

This study applied a time series analysis with data extracted from the electronic database of provincial hospitals and meteorological stations from the corresponding province. To eliminate over-dispersion, this time series analysis used Quasi-Poisson regression.

The analyses of temperature-dependent magnetization data have revealed magnetic ordering established with decreasing temperature below , where is the minimum of a d/d curve and varies as a linear function of the applied field . The Curie temperature has been extrapolated from () data, as → 0, to be about 0.
