Background: The aim of this study was to investigate overall vitamin D status in the Faroese population and assess the correlation between vitamin D levels and various sociodemographic and anthropometric factors, including sex, age, exercise, alcohol and tobacco consumption, BMI, body fat percentage, and seasonal variations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of vitamin D levels across all adult age groups within the Faroese population.
Methods: P25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, anthropometric measurements and questionnaires from 1748 individuals enrolled in the FarGen 2 cohort were collected. Statistical analyses were performed to characterise the distribution and correlates of vitamin D concentration in the population.
Results: We observed a high sufficiency of vitamin D in the FarGen cohort, with 74.3% of the cohort having P-25-hydroxyvitamin D levels exceeding the recommended concentration of 50 nmol/l, and only 3.3% having a vitamin D deficiency (<25 nmol/l). The deficiency was mostly observed in younger age groups. Our results indicated significant seasonal fluctuations in vitamin D levels, as well as significant correlations between vitamin D levels, age, sex, BMI, and physical activity.

Article Synopsis
- Post-recanalization target vessel re-occlusion (TVR) is a known complication after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), linked to poor long-term outcomes, but its causes and incidence right after the procedure are not well understood.
- A multicenter study examined 167 patients undergoing EVT for large vessel occlusion, measuring changes in the TICI score immediately after the procedure and 10 minutes later, revealing that 16.2% experienced a score change, with 70% of those worsening.
- The study suggests that neurointerventionalists should conduct angiographic assessments 10 minutes post-EVT to better manage the risk of TVR, considering that only 31% of the entire cohort achieved functional independence at

Neurological long Covid (NLC) is a major post-acute sequela of SARS-CoV-2 infection, affecting up to 10% of infected patients. The clinical presentation of patients with NLC is varied, but general NLC symptoms have been noted to closely mimic symptoms of cerebral venous outflow disorders (CVD). Here we review key literature and discuss evidence supporting this comparison.

Background: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains the standard of care for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. However, the safety and efficacy of repeat thrombectomy (rEVT) in recurrent LVO remains unclear. This study uses a large real-world patient cohort to study technical and clinical outcomes after rEVT.

Article Synopsis
- Vessel perforation during thrombectomy is more common in medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) cases compared to large vessel occlusion (LVO), with a rate of 2.4% in MeVO vs. 1.0% in LVO.
- Among patients who experienced perforation, those in the MeVO group had better functional outcomes at 3 months, achieving independence 25.7% of the time compared to 10.9% in the LVO group.
- Common procedural causes of perforation included navigating beyond the occlusion and retracting the stent retriever or aspiration catheter, highlighting the need for further research to improve safety in thrombectomy procedures.
