Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether a medical procedure called thrombectomy helps patients who have a large stroke as seen on a specific type of scan called a noncontrast CT within 24 hours of having the stroke.
- It involved 300 patients from different hospitals who were split into two groups; one group received the thrombectomy treatment, while the other only received regular care.
- The main goal was to see if those who had thrombectomy had better recovery after 90 days compared to those who didn’t, along with checking if there were any serious side effects.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of a new thrombus removal method called Contact Aspiration Mechanical Thrombectomy (CAMT) using specialized catheters (FreeClimb 88 and Tenzing 8) in treating large vessel occlusions in the brain.
- A retrospective analysis of 53 patients showed a high success rate for delivering the FreeClimb 88 catheter to the occlusion site, with 94.3% successful deliveries and a first-pass success rate of 67.9% for restoring blood flow.
- The procedure was found to be safe, with no complications or symptomatic hemorrhages, indicating that this technique could be a reliable option for treating these severe blockages.
Brassinosteroids (BR) and gibberellins (GA) regulate plant height and leaf angle in maize (Zea mays). Mutants with defects in BR or GA biosynthesis or signaling identify components of these pathways and enhance our knowledge about plant growth and development. In this study, we characterized three recessive mutant alleles of GRAS transcription factor 42 (gras42) in maize, a GRAS transcription factor gene orthologous to the DWARF AND LOW TILLERING (DLT) gene of rice (Oryza sativa).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a debilitating disease for which effective therapies are now available. Effective identification of candidates for therapy relies heavily on noninvasive imaging that must be interpreted accurately in a short timeframe. This review summarizes the evolution of AIS therapies and the implications for noninvasive imaging.
