- MELAS: Phenotype Classification into Classic-versus-Atypical Presentations
Recognizing different patterns in MELAS presentations will enable clinical and research care teams to better understand the natural history and prognosis of MELAS and identify the best candidates for specific therapeutic interventions.
- Outcomes with Endovascular Treatment of Patients with M2 Segment MCA Occlusion in the Late Time Window
In the late time window, patients with M2 occlusions treated with endovascular thrombectomy achieved better clinical outcomes, similar reperfusion, and lower symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rates compared with patients with M1 occlusion. These results support the safety and benefit of endovascular thrombectomy in patients with M2 occlusions in the late window.
- Temporal Characteristics of CSF-Venous Fistulas on Digital Subtraction Myelography
This is the first study to report the temporal characteristics of CSF-venous fistulas using digital subtraction myelography. The authors found that, on average, the CSF-venous fistula appeared 9.1 seconds (range, 0-30 seconds) after intrathecal contrast reached the spinal level.
