Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy is a common treatment for ischemic strokes, but sedation during the procedure can cause agitation in patients.
- This study, part of the AMETIS research, evaluated patients who experienced agitation and found that 38% had at least one episode during the procedure.
- Although agitation didn’t significantly affect thrombolysis scores or overall outcomes, it did correlate with a higher need for intubation and poorer radiological image quality.
Article Synopsis
- In patients with acute coronary syndromes and multivessel disease, immediate and staged complete revascularization showed similar outcomes at 2 years regarding combined health events like mortality and heart attacks.
- A total of 1,525 patients participated, and follow-up data were collected from 97.6% of them.
- The only notable difference was a lower rate of myocardial infarction in the immediate complete revascularization group compared to the staged group, suggesting it might be a slightly better option in preventing heart attacks.
Immune dysfunction in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been widely reported and is associated with increased impairments in social interactions, communication, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and gastrointestinal problems. Several lines of evidence point towards increased activation of the innate immune system including activation of microglia, increases in innate inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in blood, brain tissue and CSF, activated dendritic cells and macrophages, and abnormal peripheral monocyte cell function. Monocytes are major players in innate immunity and have important functions in the phagocytosis of pathogens or debris, immune defense and cytokine/chemokine production.
