Abstract

 A direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) is an effective thrombectomy option in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Balloon guide catheters (BGC) seem to improve the efficacy of stent retrievers and ADAPT. The last generation 6F aspiration catheters require 9F BGCs, which are rigid devices that are challenging to position in a tortuous anatomy. In this experimental study the efficacy of 6F ADAPT alone and 5F ADAPT combined with 8F BGC was evaluated.  Either a fibrin rich (white) clot or an RBC rich (red) clot was placed in the M1 segment of a transparent silicon phantom. Physiological hemodynamic conditions were maintained. The clots were retrieved by 6F aspiration catheter via 8F long sheath or 5F aspiration catheter via a flexible 8F BGC. Thrombectomy was performed under direct visual control. The primary endpoints were the number of passes and the number of distal emboli.  Ten experiments were made with each clot model and thrombectomy technique (n = 40). Full recanalization could be achieved in every experiment. First pass mTICI 3 could be achieved by 6F ADAPT in 80 % of red clots and 90 % of white clots. Distal emboli were caused in 10 % and 20 %, respectively. When using 5F ADAPT combined with BGC, a first pass ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
