During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine and virtual consultations have been rapidly implemented in paediatrics all over the world. Previous and current studies have shown satisfaction with telemedicine, especially from a parental perspective. The largest barrier for implementation is technology. Some studies have found telemedicine equal to in-person visits. Only few studies have measured clinical outcomes, and the perspective of the child and adolescents as well as healthcare personal is rarely examined. There is a need of developing guidelines and education in paediatric telemedicine, as argued in this review.

Impact of thrombus composition on virtual thrombectomy procedures using human clot analogues mechanical data.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering 'Giulio Natta', Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) aims at restoring blood flow in case of acute ischemic stroke by removing the thrombus occluding a large cerebral artery. During the procedure with stent-retriever, the thrombus is captured within the device, which is then retrieved, subjecting the thrombus to several forces, potentially leading to its fragmentation. In silico studies, along with mechanical characterisation of thrombi, can enhance our understanding of the EVT, helping the development of new devices and interventional strategies.
