Objective: To describe the incidence, location, and type of musculoskeletal injuries in ballet dancers at the Opéra de Paris from 2018 to 2023 and to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on injury incidence.
Design: Descriptive Retrospective Study.
Setting: Primary.
Background: Despite the proven effectiveness of endovascular therapy (EVT) in acute ischemic strokes (AIS) involving anterior circulation large vessel occlusions, isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions (iPCAo) remain underexplored in clinical trials. This study investigates the comparative effectiveness and safety of EVT against medical management (MM) in patients with iPCAo.
Methods: This multinational, multicenter propensity score-weighted study analyzed data from the Multicenter Analysis of primary Distal medium vessel occlusions: effect of Mechanical Thrombectomy (MAD-MT) registry, involving 37 centers across North America, Asia, and Europe.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the outcomes of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) who were managed conservatively, revealing key statistics on related morbidity and mortality over a 10-year period.
- Out of 1010 patients initially recruited, 434 were analyzed, with a majority having unruptured low-grade AVMs, demonstrating a 5% occurrence of serious outcomes and a higher risk in those with a history of rupture or older age.
- During the follow-up of approximately 3.2 years, 8% of patients experienced major intracranial hemorrhages, highlighting the ongoing risks associated with conservative management of AVMs.
Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy using the SOFIA/SOFIA PLUS catheters is being evaluated as a primary treatment for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion, focusing on its safety and efficacy in a multi-center study involving 246 patients.
- Results show that primary aspiration with the catheters achieved 72.8% complete recanalization and 63.8% of patients were functionally independent after 90 days, with acceptable complication rates.
- The study supports using this technique as a first-line approach in stroke treatment, reinforcing the effectiveness of direct aspiration thrombectomy in managing acute ischemic strokes.
Article Synopsis
- Medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) strokes, especially in the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery, are a significant challenge in stroke management, necessitating effective prediction of patient outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
- This study analyzed data from the MAD-MT registry to evaluate the relationship between follow-up infarct volume (FIV) and 90-day functional outcomes, using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) as a measurement.
- Results showed that FIV is a strong predictor of outcomes, with specific volume thresholds indicating favorable prognosis; notably, an FIV of ≤15 ml had the best predictive capability, outperforming traditional recanalization scores.
