Unveiling morphophysiological and metabolic adaptive strategies of the CAM epiphytic bromeliad Acanthostachys pitcairnioides to drought.

Ongoing climate changes are expected to intensify drought periods in tropical regions, directly impacting epiphytic bromeliads that depend on intermittent water availability. This study aimed to elucidate if Acanthostachys pitcairnioides, an epiphytic bromeliad of Atlantic Forest, tolerates extended drought periods and the potential strategies involved in its tolerance and recovery capacity. We suppressed irrigation for 42 days, rehydrated plants for four days, and evaluated leaf water status, and photochemical, metabolic, and anatomical changes.

- The study investigates the link between the angioarchitecture of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) and how they present clinically, as this relationship has been debated in the medical community.
- A total of 183 patients were reviewed, categorized by their clinical symptoms such as hemorrhage, seizure, headache, progressive neurological deficits, or incidental findings.
- Significant correlations were found, such as hemorrhage being more common in females and linked to specific angioarchitectural features, highlighting the potential for developing predictive models to identify clinical presentations based on these characteristics.*

Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed using combinations of the following terms: "stroke in young adults," "web," "recurrent stroke," "diaphragm-like," "atypical fibromuscular hyperplasia," "atypical fibromuscular dysplasia," "septal fibromuscular dysplasia," "septa," "diaphragms," "pseudovalvular folds," and "carotid diaphragm." Our series was added in this review.
