Treatment restrictions after acute stroke across nine European countries and their association with 90-day mortality: a post hoc analysis of the PRECIOUS randomised controlled trial

Background In patients with acute stroke, early withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies is associated with an increased risk of death. We used practice variation across nine European countries to assess whether this relation may be causal. Methods We performed a po...

MicroRNA-122 as a regulator and biomarker of liver disease

MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is the most abundant liver-specific microRNA, comprising ~ 70% of the hepatic miRNA pool, and a central regulator of lipid metabolism, inflammation, fibrosis, viral replication, and hepatocarcinogenesis. This review synthesizes experimental, clinical, and m...

Characteristics of Bark Stripping Damage by Deer and Nutrient Content in Black Cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.)

Large ungulates significantly influence forest ecosystems through shoot biting and bark stripping, but their impact on the dynamics of invasive plant species still remains insufficiently investigated. The North American black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) is a widespread invasiv...

Non‐contrast CT Markers of Hematoma Expansion and Andexanet Response in Factor Xa Inhibitor‐Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage: An Analysis from ANNEXa ‐I Trial

In this post hoc analysis of the ANNEXa-I trial (n = 434), we evaluated non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers of hematoma expansion (HE) in factor Xa inhibitor (FXai) -associated intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). At least one NCCT marker was present in 72.1%, and HE (≥12....
