Involvement of the right lentiform nucleus is an independent predictor of poor outcomes in large vessel occlusion strokes with small infarct volumes.

Background: Final infarct volume (FIV) is a strong predictor of stroke outcomes. Although smaller FIV are associated with better outcomes, many patients fail to achieve functional independence. We aimed to identify poor outcome predictors in patients with anterior large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and had small FIV.

Multiplane reconstruction modifies the diagnostic performance of CT angiography in carotid webs.

Introduction: Carotid Web (CaW) represents an overlooked stroke etiology and has been associated with high recurrence rates and to be amenable to stenting. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of different computed tomography angiography (CTA) projections in CaW.

Methods: Consecutive patients <65 years-old with symptomatic CaW (n=31), carotid atherosclerosis (n=27), or normal carotids (n=49) diagnosed with a thin-cut CTA were included.

Novel tetrahydrocurcumin integrated mucoadhesive nanocomposite κ-carrageenan/xanthan gum sponges: a strategy for effective local treatment of oral cancerous and precancerous lesions.

Oral cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Oral precancerous lesions (OPL) are the precursors of oral cancer, with varying degrees of progression. Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a major metabolite of curcumin with superior anticancer properties against various types of cancer.
