Endovascular interventions are experiencing an important development. Despite many advantages of this type of intervention, catheter navigation is still a cause of difficulties or failure. Mechanical thrombectomy is one of these interventions where navigation difficulties are related to the ability to navigate the aortic arch and access the carotid. These difficulties are due to the selection of adequate catheters and guides for a specific anatomy and to the technical gesture to operate. The objective of this work is to propose a method to find similar endovascular navigation paths from pre-existing patients to support intervention in mechanical thrombectomy. For each patient, iso-centerlines of the aortic arch and supra-aortic trunks are extracted from pre-operative magnetic resonance angiography volume. A statistical shape model is computed from these vascular structure iso-centerlines. Euclidean distance between vectors of statistical shape model modes is used to compare endovascular navigation paths. A set of 6 patient cases was used to compute the statistical shape model. For validation, an additional set of 5 patient cases was considered to generate new iso-centerlines.Retrieval of closest iso-centerlines were correct in more than 95% of cases with the proposed method while this percentage goes down to 43% with Euclidean distance between 3D points of iso-centerlines.Clinical relevance-The presented method allows physicians to retrieve past navigation paths similar to a new one. Used in planning, this could allow to anticipate navigation difficulties in mechanical thrombectomy.

Identifying Extra Pulmonary Vein Targets for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Bridging Advanced and Conventional Mapping Techniques.
Europace
March 2025
Cardiology Department, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, OX3 9DU, United Kingdom.
Background And Aims: Advanced technologies such as charge density mapping (CDM) show promise in guiding adjuvant ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF); however, their limited availability restricts widespread adoption. We sought to determine whether regions of the left atrium containing CDM-identified pivoting and rotational propagation patterns during AF could also be reliably identified using more conventional contact mapping techniques.
Methods: Twenty-two patients undergoing de novo ablation of persistent AF underwent both CDM and electroanatomic voltage mapping during AF and sinus rhythm with multiple pacing protocols.
Diagnostic Integrity of DSM Categorized Eating Disorders: Exploration of Alternative Methods of Classification and the Implications for Genetic Research.

Research is only beginning to shape our understanding of eating disorders as metabolic-psychiatric illnesses. How eating disorders (EDs) are classified is essential to future research for understanding the etiology of these severe illnesses and both developing and tailoring effective treatments. The gold standard for classification for research and diagnostic purposes has primarily been and continues to be the (DSM-5).

BMC Public Health
March 2025
School of Economics and Management, Anhui Agricultural University, 130 Jiangxi Road, Hefei, Anhui Province, P.R. China.
Background: After more than 40 years of growth, the income of Chinese residents has greatly increased; however, the problems of overweight and obesity among residents have become increasingly prominent.
Methods: We used data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) to study the relationship between residents' income and obesity using the instrumental variable (IV) method.
Results: The impact of income on residents' body mass index (BMI) is an inverted U-shape; that is, when income is low, BMI significantly rises with income, and when per capita income exceeds 57,066 yuan in 2023 prices (equivalent to 8,098 dollars), further increases in income will lead to a decrease in BMI.
Non-linear association between interpregnancy interval after vaginal delivery and singleton preterm birth: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
March 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, No.83, Wenhua Road, Shenhe District, Shenyang, 110016, China.
Background: The association between interpregnancy interval (IPI) after vaginal delivery and preterm birth (PTB) in singleton has not been elucidated. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between interpregnancy interval after vaginal delivery and preterm birth.
Methods: Birth data from the 2022 National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) were selected, and multinomial logistic regression models were used to determine the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the association between IPI after vaginal delivery and PTB.
