Background And Purpose: The safety and effectiveness of endovascular techniques in elderly patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) remain controversial. We investigated the angiographic and clinical outcomes of nonagenarians treated with different endovascular techniques using a balloon guide catheter (BGC), distal aspiration catheter (DAC), and/or stent retriever (SR).

Methods: We analyzed the data from the Registry of Combined versus Single Thrombectomy Techniques (ROSSETTI) of consecutive nonagenarian patients with anterior circulation LVO and compared the outcomes of those treated with BGC+noDAC+SR (101-group), BGC+DAC+SR (111-group), and noBGC+DAC+SR (011-group).

Background: High levels of catecholamines are cardiotoxic and associated with stress-induced cardiomyopathies. Septic patients are routinely exposed to endogenously released and exogenously administered catecholamines, which may alter cardiac function and perfusion causing ischemia. Early during human septic shock, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreases but normalizes in survivors over 7-10 days.

Peripheral artery disease leading to chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents a significant concern for up to 11.0 % of patients with diabetes, often culminating in amputation of the affected limb. This retrospective cohort study explores frequency of comorbid behavioral health conditions (CBHCs) in patients with diabetes and hospital stay characteristics related to post-lower extremity amputation (LEA).

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported to occur in 30-70% of asphyxiated neonates. Hydrogen (H) gas became a major research focus in neonatal medicine after the identification of its robust antioxidative properties. However, the ability of H gas to ameliorate AKI is unknown.

Background: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or myocardial infarction (MI), anemia is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Transfusion goals in such patients remain unclear.

Study Question: A meta-analysis of the available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted comparing restrictive and liberal transfusion strategies in patients with symptomatic CAD/MI.
