Bacterial peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase, Pth1, is emerging as a promising new target for antibiotic development. From the conserved core and high degree of structural similarity, broad-spectrum inhibition is postulated.

Background: Currently, there are more than 40 cases of facial allotransplantation performed by 13 different groups in 10 countries.

Background and Purpose- Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) devices have led to improved reperfusion and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with emergent large vessel occlusions; however, less than one-third of patients achieve complete reperfusion. Use of intraarterial thrombolysis in the context of MT may provide an opportunity to enhance these results. Here, we evaluate the use of intraarterial rtPA (recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator) as rescue therapy (RT) after failed MT in the North American Solitaire Stent-Retriever Acute Stroke registry.
