ObjectivesCryptogenic stroke represents a type of ischemic with an unknown origin, presenting significant challenge in both management and prevention. According to the Trial Org 10172 Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria, is categorized as being caused by large artery atherosclerosis only when there more than 50% luminal narrowing ipsilateral internal carotid artery. However, non-stenosing plaques can be underlying cause stroke. Indeed, emerging evidence documents that some features...
Abstract The purpose of our study was to compare diagnostic performance old and new Lake Louise Criteria (oLLC nLLC) among different clinical presentations: infarct-like (IL), cardiomyopathic (CM) arrhythmic (AR). 102 patients with suspicion acute myocarditis underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) on a 1.5 T scanner. Protocol included cine-SSFP, T2-weighted STIR, T2 mapping, early late gadolinium enhancement T1 mapping acquired before after administration. degree agreement has been...
CT is considered the standard reference both for quantification and characterization of carotid artery calcifications. Our aim was to investigate relationship among different types calcium configurations detected with within plaque a novel classification prevalence cerebrovascular events.Seven hundred ninety patients (men = 332; mean age, 69.7 [SD, 13] years; 508 symptomatic symptoms 282 asymptomatic) who underwent computed tomography arteries were retrospectively included in this...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> This review critically analyzed recent publications on large-core Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). Six RCTs demonstrated the superiority of mechanical thrombectomy over best medical treatment in patients with low ASPECTs. However, use ASPECTs to define ischemic core has limitations detecting changes beyond middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. evaluates implications this choice external validity trials. <h3>Methods:</h3> The study evaluated...
To report technical success, safety profile and oncological results of balloon-occluded transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using a balloon micro-catheter epirubicin-loaded polyethylene-glycol (PEG) microsphere (100 ± 25 µm 200 50 µm) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is single-centre, single-arm, retrospective study 6-month follow-up. Twenty-two (Child–Pugh A 68% [15/22], B 32% [7/22]; age 67.05 14 years) 29 HCC were treated 24 procedures. Technical success defined:...
Abstract Background To compare oncological results and safety profile of balloon micro-catheter trans-arterial chemoembolization (b-TACE) drug-eluting-microsphere (DEM-TACE) in patients with hepatocellular-carcinoma (HCC). Methods This is a case–control, retrospective, single-center study. Between January-2015/March-2019, 149 (131 males [87.9%]) 226 HCC were treated, 22 (35 HCC; 19 [86.4%] males) b-TACE 127 DEM-TACE (191 HCC, 112 [88.2%] males). Embolization protocol was standardized...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography angiography based machine learning model that uses plaque composition data degree of carotid stenosis detect symptomatic plaques in patients with atherosclerosis. METHODS: The was trained using the volumes 13 derived intracarotid subcomponents (eg, lipid, intraplaque hemorrhage, calcium) identify associated cerebrovascular events. internally validated through repeated 10-fold cross-validation tested on dedicated...
The aspiration technique has gained a prominent role in mechanical thrombectomy. thrombectomy goal is successful revascularization (modified TICI ≥ 2b) and first-pass effect. purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact vessel-catheter ratio on modified 2b effect.This retrospective, single-center, cohort study. From January 2018 April 2020, 111/206 (53.9%) were eligible after applying exclusion criteria. Culprit vessel diameters measured by 2 neuroradiologists, intraclass correlation...
Purpose: The standard bibliometric indexes (“ m-quotient “ H-,” H2-,” g-,” a-,” m-,” and r-” index) do not considered the research’ position in author list of paper. We proposed a new methodology, System Authorship Best Assessment (SABA), to characterize scientific output based on authors’ position. Material Methods: Four classes S1A, S1B, S2A, S2B include only papers where researcher is first, first/last, first/second/last, first/second/second-last/last respectively were used for...
