CONCLUSION: Anterior circulation MTF is associated with more complications and worse outcomes. No differences were found between techniques or devises used for the first pass during MT. Rescue intracranial stenting may decrease the likelihood of MTF for posterior circulation MT.

Despite complex pathways of drug disposition, clinical pharmacogenetic predictors currently rely on only a few high effect variants. Quantification of the polygenic contribution to variability in drug disposition is necessary to prioritize target drugs for pharmacogenomic approaches and guide analytic methods. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, often used in postoperative care of pediatric patients, have high rates of inter-individual variability in dosing requirements. Analyzing previously generated...

CONCLUSION: The results show a different association of PTH with the relative risk of mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. These findings could have relevant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of CKD-MBD.

CONCLUSIONS: Adults with myelomeningocele who escape childhood without undergoing TCR have an ongoing, albeit decreased, risk for spinal cord tethering requiring TCR. This risk is obviously not due to spinal column growth and therefore must reflect other factors such as dynamic changes in spinal cord health over time. Among people with MMC who underwent their first TCR as adults, females seemed to be overrepresented. Similar to the authors' prior childhood study, people who underwent previous...

The human airways are complex structures with important interactions between cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and the biomechanical microenvironment. A robust, well-differentiated in vitro culture system that accurately models these interactions would provide a useful tool for studying normal and pathological airway biology. Here, we report the development and characterization of a physiologically relevant air-liquid interface (ALI) 3D airway 'organ tissue equivalent' (OTE) model with...

Research in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has historically been limited by studies with relatively small sample sizes that result in low power to detect small, yet clinically meaningful outcomes. Data sharing and integration from existing sources hold promise to yield larger more robust sample sizes that improve the potential signal and generalizability of important research question. However, curation and harmonization of data of different types and of disparate provenance is challenging....

CONCLUSIONS: and Relevance: Function across domains at 1-year post-injury, a common recovery benchmark, undergo change across the subsequent 6-years. Results support consideration of TBI as a chronic, evolving condition and suggest continued monitoring, rehabilitation, and support is required to optimize long-term independence and quality of life.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings reinforce the understanding that greater MOUD adherence is associated with reduced usage of high-cost health services and increased usage of outpatient care. The results further suggest the need for enhanced access to MOUD and for interventions that improve adherence.

We present open-source tools for 3D analysis of photographs of dissected slices of human brains, which are routinely acquired in brain banks but seldom used for quantitative analysis. Our tools can: (i) 3D reconstruct a volume from the photographs and, optionally, a surface scan; and (ii) produce a high-resolution 3D segmentation into 11 brain regions, independently of the slice thickness. Our tools can be used as a substitute for ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which requires access...

CONCLUSIONS: MRgLITT is a viable treatment with durable outcomes for patients with drug-resistant mTLE evaluated at a comprehensive epilepsy centre. Although seizure freedom rates were lower than reported with ATL, this series represents the early experience of each centre and a heterogeneous cohort. ATL remains a safe and effective treatment for well-selected patients who fail MRgLITT.

CONCLUSION: Neuropathic itch, in addition to pain, can be a symptom of Chiari I with syringomyelia. Focal pruritus without an obvious cutaneous trigger should prompt providers to consider a central neurological pathology. While many patients with Chiari I are asymptomatic, the presence of neurological deficits and syringomyelia, are indications for neurosurgical evaluation.

Disorders of autonomic functions are typically characterized by disturbances in multiple organ systems. These disturbances are often comorbidities of common and rare diseases, such as epilepsy, sleep apnea, Rett syndrome, congenital heart disease or mitochondrial diseases. Characteristic of many autonomic disorders is the association with intermittent hypoxia and oxidative stress, which can cause or exaggerate a variety of other autonomic dysfunctions, making the treatment and management of...

BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease and leading cause of sight loss worldwide. Despite its high prevalence and increasing incidence as populations age, AMD remains incurable and there are no treatments for most patients. Mounting genetic and molecular evidence implicates complement system overactivity as a key driver of AMD development and progression. The last decade has seen the development of several novel therapeutics targeting complement in the eye for...

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide and PPH resulting in transfusion is the most common maternal morbidity in the United States. Literature demonstrates that tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss in cesarean deliveries; however, there is little consensus on the impact on major morbidities like PPH and transfusions. We conducted a systematic review/meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate if administration of prophylactic...

CONCLUSIONS: These study outcomes provide insight into future investigations to understand nutrient requirements to optimize growth, reproductive, and health demographics to microbial populations and metabolism in the D. rerio gut ecosystem. These evaluations are critical in understanding the maintenance of steady-state physiologic and metabolic homeostasis in D. rerio. Curr Dev Nutr 20xx;x:xx.
