Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare, serious, and complex cerebrovascular disease. The prothrombin G20210A mutation is the second most common inherited thrombophilia and is considered to be one of the etiologies of CVST. The optimal heparinoid medication for treatment remains a topic of debate.

- The study focused on creating a deep learning algorithm to detect and pinpoint occlusions in cerebral DSA images, which is crucial for endovascular thrombectomy.
- Researchers collected DSA images from 188 patients, with a specific focus on those with occlusions in critical artery segments, to train and test the algorithm.
- The results showed the model achieved high specificity (0.95) and fairly good sensitivity (0.76), with promising performance in localizing large-vessel occlusions, suggesting more extensive data could boost its accuracy even further.
The very soft and flow-permeable plumage is among the special adaptations of the owl that the silent flight is attributed to. Using a specially designed apparatus that provides a low-speed volume flow of air through a small sample of porous material, measurements of the air flow permeability were performed in accordance to ISO 9053 on a total of 39 prepared wing specimen from six different bird species, including three species of silently flying owls and three non-silently flying bird species. The resulting data set described in the present paper contains the static airflow resistance measured at different positions on the wing.

The Caire ICH is an artificial intelligence (AI) software developed for ED physicians to recognise intracranial haemorrhages (ICHs) on non-contrast enhanced cranial CT scans to manage the clinical care of these patients in a timelier fashion.
Methods: A dataset of 532 non-contrast cranial CT scans was reviewed by five board-certified emergency physicians (EPs) with an average of 14.
Article Synopsis
- A case study details the successful use of Penumbra's Indigo Aspiration System for endovascular thrombectomy in a patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarct.
- The patient, a 30-year-old woman, presented with seizures and neurological deficits due to a significant blockage in her venous system, prompting the use of mechanical thrombectomy alongside anticoagulation therapy.
- The intervention led to a successful recanalization of the affected sinuses and an excellent recovery outcome, highlighting the effectiveness of this minimally invasive device in treating complicated venous thrombosis.
