Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by poor prognosis and a high malignancy. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network formed by long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) can regulate the incidence of GBM. Therapeutic strategies targeting cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) have helped reduce drug resistance in patients.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of a new technique called the direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) for treating acute large vessel occlusions, particularly focusing on a motion called "tip flutter" during catheter use.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 231 patients to determine if tip flutter could predict successful clot aspiration, finding a significant correlation with successful outcomes.
  • Results showed that tip flutter had a high specificity (97.3%) and positive predictive value (96.5%), indicating it is a reliable indicator of successful clot aspiration in patients undergoing ADAPT.

Background: Brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM), an aberrant vascular development during the intrauterine period, is traditionally considered a congenital disease. Sporadic reports of cases of AVM formation in children and adults have challenged the traditional view of its congenital origin.

Case Summary: In this report, we have presented the case of a child with a brain AVM.

This study reported data that were collected from 11 consecutive patients undergoing treatment for acute cardioembolic extracranial carotid artery (ECCA) occlusion with extensive clot burden via the guide catheter aspiration (GCA) technique. The GCA technique was performed as a direct aspiration using 2 60-mL syringes simultaneously through an 8-F guide catheter. Successful reperfusion was achieved in all 11 patients at the end of thrombectomy, and successful reperfusion was observed in 4 patients after a single GCA procedure pass.
