Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy in patients with acute large-vessel occlusion and tandem lesions, focusing on those with low (0-5) and high (6-10) Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Scores (ASPECTS).
- The analysis included 691 patients, revealing that those with low ASPECTS had significantly lower odds of achieving a favorable functional outcome (mRS 0-2) and higher odds of suffering symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage compared to those with high ASPECTS.
- The researchers concluded that endovascular thrombectomy may lead to poorer functional recovery in patients with tandem lesions and low ASPECTS, particularly in the
Background: Flow diversion has revolutionized the management of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms (IAs). We aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of the new generation 64-wire Surpass Evolve for the treatment of unruptured small/medium-sized IAs.
Methods And Results: This is a subanalysis from the SEASE (Safety and Effectiveness Assessment of the Surpass Evolve) registry, an observational cohort study including 15 academic institutions in North America and Europe between July 2020 and October 2022.
Background Despite thrombectomy having become the standard of care for large-vessel occlusion strokes, acute endovascular management in tandem occlusions, especially of the cervical internal carotid artery lesion, remains uncertain. We aimed to compare efficacy and safety of acute carotid artery stenting to balloon angioplasty alone on treating the cervical lesion in tandem occlusions. Similarly, we aimed to explore those outcomes' associations with technique approaches and use of thrombolysis.

Electrodiagnostic testing in acute facial palsy: Outcomes and comparison of methods.
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
October 2020
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the correlation between different electrodiagnostic methods in assessing acute facial paralysis among 106 patients at a tertiary care center from 2008 to 2017.
- Both nasolabial fold (NLF) and nasalis muscle (NM) methods showed a strong correlation in measuring facial nerve degeneration, with 80% of patients diagnosed with significant degeneration using both methods.
- The absence of muscle unit potentials (MUPs) on electromyography (EMG) proved to be a reliable indicator of severe nerve degeneration, making it a useful predictor for deciding on surgical intervention.
