Background: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is approved in the USA for treatment of unruptured wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. However, the safety and effectiveness of the WEB device in the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms is not clear. We aim to evaluate the perioperative safety and effectiveness of the WEB device in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Methods: This retrospective study, conducted at eight centers in the USA, included patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with the WEB device in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Safety outcomes included intraoperative complications such as vessel perforation, thromboembolic events, and postoperative hemorrhagic or thromboembolic complications based on radiologic imaging. The primary effectiveness outcome was adequate (complete and neck remnant) aneurysm occlusion, according to the Raymond-Roy classification.
Results: A total of 91 patients with 94 ruptured intracranial aneurysms were included (mean age 57.7±15.2 years; 68.1% women; 82.9% wide-necked). Aneurysms were located in the anterior communicating artery (42/94, 44.6%), middle cerebral artery (16/94, 17%), and basilar artery (15/94, 16%). Adequate occlusion was achieved in 48.8% (41/84) and 80.0% (40/50) at discharge and last follow-up (mean of 3.4 months), respectively. At discharge, procedural-related morbidity was 3.3% (3/91) and there was no procedure-related mortality. No re-rupture or delayed aneurysm rupture was observed.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates the perioperative safety and effectiveness of the WEB device for the treatment of patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms in the setting of SAH, with low periprocedural morbidity and mortality. Long-term follow-up is warranted.

Most current research in cloud forensics is focused on tackling the challenges encountered by forensic investigators in identifying and recovering artifacts from cloud devices. These challenges arise from the diverse array of cloud service providers as each has its distinct rules, guidelines, and requirements. This research proposes an investigation technique for identifying and locating data remnants in two main stages: artefact collection and evidence identification.

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are now essential as the agenda of nutrition research expands its scope to look at the intricate connection between food and health in both an individual and a community context. AI also helps in tracing and offering solutions in dietary assessment, personalized and clinical nutrition, as well as disease prediction and management, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. This review aims to investigate and assess the different applications and roles of AI in nutrition and research and understand its potential future impact.

Unlabelled: Given the rising global population of older adults and their association with edentulism and the use of complete removable prostheses [CRP], it is imperative to pursue solutions for issues such as the relationship between poor diets and masticatory deficiency.
Objective: To examine the research on the efficacy of dietary counseling in enhancing mastication and nutrition in older adults with CRP.
Methods: A systematic literature review was performed in the PubMed, Trip, and Web of Science databases.
