Article Synopsis
- This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in diagnosing severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, which is important for treating ischaemic cerebrovascular diseases.
- The study analyzed data from 16 research articles involving 2368 vascular segments and used various statistical tools to assess CTA's diagnostic performance.
- Results indicated that CTA has high sensitivity (93%) and specificity (99%) for detecting severe ICA stenosis, showing it is a reliable diagnostic tool.
Hops extracts and their derivatives have many important biological activities, among them, excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties make them a promising food preservative. However, poor water solubility limits their application in the food industry. This work aimed to improve the solubility of Hexahydrocolupulone (HHCL) by preparing solid dispersion (SD) and investigating the application of the obtained products (HHCL-SD) in actual food systems.

However, the emergence of colistin resistance has substantially reduced the clinical effectiveness of colistin. In this study, synergy between colistin and capric acid was examined against twenty-one Gram-negative bacterial isolates (four colistin-susceptible and seventeen colistin-resistant).
