A comparison of Atlas and Leo Baby stents-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms with small parent vessels.

Unlabelled: Some studies have reported the efficacy and safety of the Atlas stent and the Leo Baby stent-assisted coiling (SAC) of intracranial aneurysms arising from small cerebral vessels. The authors aimed to compare the clinical performance of the Atlas and the Leo Baby stents in small parent arteries.

Methods And Materials: Between January 2019 and November 2022, 56 patients at our centre were treated using either Atlas or Leo Baby SAC of intracranial aneurysms arising from small parent vessels (<2 mm).

Tubridge flow diverter alone vs. Tubridge flow diverter and coils for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms: A propensity score matching analysis.

Background: The study was designed to assess the clinical performance of a tubridge flow diverter (TFD) in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and to compare the efficacy and safety between intracranial aneurysms treated with TFD alone and TFD combined with coiling.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients treated with the TFD alone or TFD combined with coiling between June 2018 to November 2022 were included. The patient demographics, the characteristics of the aneurysm, and the treatment outcomes between the two groups were compared.

Prognostic Role of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) plays an important role in the progression of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). An increasing number of studies have reported that a high NLR is correlated with poor clinical outcomes among patients with ICH. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of NLR in the setting of ICH.

Adjuvant Corticosteroids With Surgery for Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The use of adjuvant corticosteroids with surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has received considerable attention in recent years. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding its effectiveness and safety for CSDH. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of corticosteroids as an adjuvant treatment for the treatment of CSDH.

The Prognostic Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), as an essential systemic inflammation factor, has been widely used as a prognostic indicator in various diseases, such as malignant tumors, cardiovascular disease, and intracranial hemorrhage. An increasing number of studies have believed that NLR is a valuable predictor of prognosis for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, these results remain controversial.

[Application of Fenton-like Photocatalysts Based on Defect Reconstruction in Degradation of Dye Wastewater].

In recent years, improving the performance of catalysts through defect modulation has attracted extensive attention. However, the impact of defect rearrangement on Fenton-like photocatalytic reactions has not been studied. In this study, Fe-containing polyoxometalate molecules were grafted onto the surface of defective TiO.

Evidence for a New Component of High-Energy Solar Gamma-Ray Production.

The observed multi-GeV γ-ray emission from the solar disk-sourced by hadronic cosmic rays interacting with gas and affected by complex magnetic fields-is not understood. Utilizing an improved analysis of the Fermi-LAT data that includes the first resolved imaging of the disk, we find strong evidence that this emission is produced by two separate mechanisms. Between 2010 and 2017 (the rise to and fall from solar maximum), the γ-ray emission was dominated by a polar component.

A novel Fe(III) dependent bioflocculant from Klebsiella oxytoca GS-4-08: culture conditions optimization and flocculation mechanism.

In this work, the effect of cultivation factors on the flocculation efficiency (FE) of bioflocculant P-GS408 from Klebsiella oxytoca was optimized by the response surface methodology. The most significant factor, i.e.

Enhanced reduction of Fe(III) oxides and methyl orange by Klebsiella oxytoca in presence of anthraquinone-2-disulfonate.

Klebsiella oxytoca GS-4-08 is capable of azo dye reduction, but its quinone respiration and Fe(III) reduction abilities have not been reported so far. In this study, the abilities of this strain were reported in detail for the first time. As the biotic reduction of Fe(III) plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycles, two amorphous Fe(III) oxides were tested as the sole electron acceptor during the anaerobic respiration of strain GS-4-08.

Decolorization characteristics of a newly isolated salt-tolerant Bacillus sp. strain and its application for azo dye-containing wastewater in immobilized form.

Strain CICC 23870 capable of decolorization of various azo dyes under high saline conditions was isolated from saline-alkali soil. The oxygen-insensitive azoreductase in crude extracts exhibited a wide substrate adaptively in the presence of NADH as a cofactor. The decolorization process by free cells followed first-order kinetics, with a high Methyl Orange (MO) tolerance concentration up to 100 mg l(-1) estimated by Haldane model.
