The nearby radio galaxy M87 is a prime target for studying black hole accretion and jet formation. Event Horizon Telescope observations of M87 in 2017, at a wavelength of 1.3 mm, revealed a ring-like structure, which was interpreted as gravitationally lensed emission around a central black hole.

Insulin administration to maintain euglycaemia appears to decrease LEW rates. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in insulin receptor content of neuron derived blood exosomes (NDEs) after BEVAR.

- The study aims to evaluate whether a post-operative insulin infusion protocol (IIP) for tight blood glucose control can reduce the incidence of lower extremity weakness (LEW) after branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR).
- Findings showed that prior to the IIP, 32% of patients experienced LEW, which was linked to higher blood and cerebrospinal fluid glucose levels.
- After implementing the IIP, no patients developed LEW, indicating a significant reduction in risk associated with controlled glucose levels post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared a special surgery called MBEVAR for two types of aortic aneurysms: one caused by a tear in the aorta (dissection) and one that's just degenerative.
- They checked the health of 162 patients over about 12 years to see how well the surgeries worked and if anything complicated them.
- Results showed that patients with dissections were younger and had different types of aneurysms, but there weren't big differences in complications like death or stroke between the two groups.
