Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of flow-diverting stent (FDS) monotherapy in the treatment of intracranial blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) through a detailed systematic review.
Methods: This review adheres to the PRISMA guidelines, focusing on studies utilizing FDS monotherapy for BBAs, spanning from July 2010 to November 2023. A systematic search across databases including Embase, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) has high in-hospital mortality, but outcomes are better for those who survive hospitalization after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
- In a study of 107 CVT-VITT cases, 40% died during initial hospitalization, but of the 60 patients who survived, 88% achieved functional independence after a median follow-up of 150 days.
- No new thrombotic events were reported post-discharge, and only one case of major bleeding occurred, indicating a generally positive prognosis for survivors.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in meningeal lesions due to rapid and accurate diagnosis and prevention of serious complications. The aim of the present study was to compare these two sequences after injection of a contrast agent into meningeal lesions. This is a descriptive-analytical study that was performed in 2018-2020 on patients referred to the radiology ward with detection of any meningeal involvements in the MRI images.

Cisplatin (CDDP) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors. The most common side effect of CDDP is nephrotoxicity, and many efforts have been made in the laboratory and the clinic to employ candidate adjuvants to CDDP to minimize this adverse influence. Many synthetic and herbal antioxidants as well as trace elements have been investigated for this purpose in recent years and a variety of positive and negative results have been yielded.

In this study, we compared the effect of enalapril as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on CP-induced nephrotoxicity between male and female rats.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-two adult male and female Wistar rats were divided into eight groups.
