Goyal described occlusions in M2/3, A2/3 and P2/3 as medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs); the only available controlled data of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in MeVOs is limited to the middle cerebral artery M2 segment, suggesting that MT may be effective and safe with high functional independence and recanalization rates. The Stent retriever Assisted Vacuum-locked Extraction (SAVE) technique in mechanical thrombectomy consists of the simultaneous use of a stent retriever and a distal aspiration catheter (DAC), with the removal of both as a unit when performing the thrombectomy pass; however, so far the low-profile (0.035 inch distal inner diameter) DACs were longer (160 cm) than conventional 0.017 inch microcatheters for MeVOs. We present a case of a combined approach MT in MeVO with the use of the new 167 cm long NeuroSlider 17 (Acandis, Pforzheim, Germany) 0.0165 inch microcatheter and 3MAX (Penumbra, Alameda, CA) through the SAVE technique-the MeVO SAVE technique.

Objectives: Motorcycle helmets save lives and reduce serious injury after motorcycle collisions (MCC). In 2022, 18 states had laws requiring helmet use by motorcyclists aged ≥21 years. Our objective was to compare helmet use and head trauma in emergency medical services (EMS) patients involved in MCC in states with and without helmet use laws.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the mixing efficacy and cost-effectiveness of new T-mixer tips against the standard double helical tips for a light-body elastomeric impression and a temporary/interim restorative material using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
Methodology: Automixed samples ( = 16) were divided into four groups of four samples each: Samples that were mixed with Helical tip for elastomer, T-mixer tip for elastomer, Helical tip for interim restorative material, and T-mixer tip for interim restorative material. These samples were then evaluated for SEM analysis.

Background: India is witnessing a significant increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and addressing this requires a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach. The burden of NCDs puts a strain on the healthcare system, requiring an increased focus on preventive measures, early detection, and management of chronic conditions. Adopting a risk-based approach to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in resource-poor settings offers several economic and social advantages.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Extraction of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has gained significant attention lately in the realm of regenerative medicine. However, finding highly efficient methods of extraction that also comply with the US regulations has prevented widespread clinical use.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel ASC extraction device to quantify viable ASC extraction and processing efficiency.

Background: Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is limited in low tidal volume mechanical ventilation. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate whether passive leg raising (PLR)-induced changes in PPV can reliably predict preload/fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with low tidal volume in the intensive care unit.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were screened for diagnostic research relevant to the predictability of PPV change after PLR in low-tidal volume mechanically ventilated patients.
