Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of different stentrievers (SRs) used in mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke, focusing on their design characteristics and their impact on the first-pass effect (FPE).
- The research included 610 patients, looking to determine how aspects like model, brand, size, and length of SRs influenced outcomes, specifically comparing modified and true FPE results.
- Findings reveal that these characteristics did not significantly impact the success rates of achieving FPE, suggesting that factors beyond the design of SRs may play a bigger role in treatment outcomes.
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are atheroprotective because of their role in reverse cholesterol transport. The intestine is involved in this process because it synthesizes HDL, removes cholesterol from plasma and excretes it into the lumen. We investigated the role of selected dietary fatty acids on intestinal cholesterol uptake and HDL functionality.

Complex structures observed in the ejecta at late stages could result from interactions with the companion during the common-envelope phase. Alternatively, the explosion could be intrinsically bipolar, resulting from a localized ignition on the surface of the white dwarf or as a consequence of rotational distortion.

They are important for testing theories of star formation and of stellar evolution in the presence of nearby companions. We obtained 218 days of Kepler photometry of HD 181068 (magnitude of 7.
