[Traumatic ruptures of the thoracic aorta].

Published: July 1991

The authors present a group of 22 patients admitted for traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta between 1969 and 1989. Most of them were polytraumatized patients (mean ISS 45). The majority of the injured patients possibly died before arriving at hospital. Amongst the other patients, there was a local tamponade of the hemorrhage. The risk of rupture of the patients arriving alive at the hospital is consequently restricted. The mortality of the patients operated in shock is high (3/4). The authors recommend to operate these lesions in delayed emergency.

Temozolomide, a widely used alkylating agent for glioblastoma treatment, faces significant challenges due to the development of resistance, which severely impacts patient survival. This underscores the urgent need for novel strategies to overcome this barrier. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is highly expressed in glioblastoma cells and has been identified as a promising therapeutic target for anti-glioblastoma drug development.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer disabled individuals the means to interact with devices by decoding the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, decoding intent in fine motor tasks can be challenging, especially in stroke survivors with cortical lesions. Here, we attempt to decode graded finger extension from the EEG in stroke patients with left-hand paresis and healthy controls.
