Article Synopsis
  • Posterior cerebral artery occlusion (PCAo) can lead to long-term disabilities, and this study compares the effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), both with and without intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), against IVT alone for treating PCAo.
  • The study analyzed data from 724 patients treated within 24 hours of PCAo onset, measuring outcomes like functional independence and early neurological improvement over a three-month period.
  • Results indicated that EVT did not improve overall functional outcomes compared to IVT alone; however, it increased the likelihood of early improvement, but also raised risks of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of lipid from rapeseed cake and oats on ruminal CH emission and lactational performance of dairy cows. Twelve lactating Nordic Red cows, of which 4 were primiparous, and averaging (±SD) 48 ± 22.9 DIM, 37.

Background: The association between sex and outcome after endovascular thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and safety outcomes between men and women treated with endovascular thrombectomy in the late 6-to-24-hour window period.

Methods: This multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy of anterior circulation stroke in the late window from 66 clinical sites in 10 countries from January 2014 to May 2022.

Introduction: Present-day computer tomography (CT) scanners have excellent spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio and are instrumental detecting early ischemic changes (EIC) in brain. We assessed the temporal changes of EIC based on the recanalization status after thrombectomy.

Patients And Methods: The cohort comprises consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke in anterior circulation treated with thrombectomy in tertiary referral hospital.

We investigated how concentrate feeding during the last 21 d of pregnancy affects reticular pH, inflammatory response, dry matter (DM) intake, and production performance of dairy cows. We hypothesized that adding concentrates to dairy cows' diet before calving reduces the decrease in reticular pH postpartum and thus alleviates inflammatory response. We also hypothesized that prepartum concentrate feeding increases DM intake postpartum and consequently improves milk performance.
