OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammatory processes involving the vascular wall may induce atherosclerosis. Immune-inflammatory processes proceed throughout all stages of acute stroke. We investigated the association of three immune-inflammatory markers, namel...
: This is a retrospective study conducted at the Clinical County Hospital of Craiova, Romania, providing valuable insights into hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in thrombolyzed patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Hemorrhagic complications remai...
Despite the salient benefits of the intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains a frequent complication and constitutes a major concern when treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study expl...
PURPOSE: To report the results of a first-in-human study using a robotic device to assist subretinal drug delivery in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for macular hemorrhage.
Untethered small-scale robots offer great promise for medical applications in complex biological environments. However, challenges remain in the control and medical imaging of a robot for targeted delivery inside a living body, especially in flowing ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) clinical trials rely on manual linear and semi-quantitative (LSQ) estimators like the ABC/2, modified Graeb and IVH scores for timely volumetric estimation f...
Microcatheters have enabled diverse minimally invasive endovascular operations and notable health benefits compared with open surgeries. However, with tortuous routes far from the arterial puncture site, the distal vascular regions remain challenging...
BACKGROUND: Haemorrhage transformation (HT) is a serious complication of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). Accurate and timely prediction of the risk of HT before IVT may change the treatment decision and improve clinica...
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to establish a predictive model utilizing machine learning techniques to anticipate the likelihood of thrombolysis resistance (TR) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing recombinant tissue plas...
Intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET) with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and DNase has been shown to reduce the need for surgical intervention for complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema (CPPE/empyema). Failure of IET may lead to delayed care an...
