Systemic intravenous thrombolysis and spinal stroke: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is associated with poor clinical outcome. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is a well-established treatment for cerebral ischaemic stroke. However, its efficacy in SCI is unknown.

20 µm resolution multipixel ghost imaging with high-energy x-rays.

Hard x-ray imaging is indispensable across diverse fields owing to its high penetrability. However, the resolution of traditional x-ray imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) systems, is constrained by factors including beam properties, the limitations of optical components, and detection resolution. As a result, the typical resolution in commercial imaging systems that provide full-field imaging is limited to a few hundred microns, and scanning CT systems are too slow for many applications.

Initiating Prognostic Talk During Hospice Multidisciplinary Team Meetings: A Conversation Analytic Study.

Guidelines recommend that patients' prognoses should be discussed by the palliative care multidisciplinary team. However, there is a lack of evidence on how multidisciplinary teams carry out prognostic discussions, and especially how prognostic talk is initiated during team meetings. This study explored how prognostic talk is initiated and responded to during meetings of a hospice multidisciplinary team.

The prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Israel based on validation of a health care organization database.

In Israel there is no registry of multiple sclerosis (MS), thus the prevalence of MS is unknown. Clalit Health Services (CHS) is Israel's largest health care organization. We have developed an algorithm to identify people with MS (PwMS) using CHS database and validated it against a gold-standard diagnosis by expert neurologists.
