Exploring the Decision Making of Women When Planning an Induction of Labor: A Multi-Method Design.

The aim of this study was to explore women's preferences and experiences of degree of control in decision making when planning an induction of labor (IOL). This multi-method study was conducted using semi-structured individual interviews and the completion of two Control Preferences Scales by eight postnatal women from a metropolitan health service in Melbourne, Australia. Four themes were generated from the interview data: "shared decision making"; "changing expectations"; "IOL experience"; and "informed consent.

REtrieving thrombi and Separated Coils/catheters Unexpectedly detached during Endovascular therapy: RESCUE - the use of thrombectomy devices for rescue therapy in interventional neuroradiology.

Purpose: Intraprocedural complications during intracranial embolisation include thromboembolic vessel occlusion, catheter tip detachment and coil migration. Stentrievers and aspiration catheters are valuable devices for the management of these complications. We present our experience with the use of these devices.

Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: Baseline Cognitive Changes and Changes following Treatment: A Prospective Longitudinal Study.

Background And Purpose: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) exhibit varied clinical manifestations, and high-grade cases are associated with both a risk of hemorrhage and (in certain cases) dementia. Less known, however, is the association between DAVF and more subtle cognitive changes, which might not be clinically apparent without formal neurocognitive testing. This study prospectively assesses baseline cognitive changes in patients with unruptured DAVFs and looks at the effects of treatment on any such changes.
