I have highlighted some of my previous experiences and exposures on this site.
Am always interested in hearing new ideas and collaborating on projects!
CONCLUSIONS: CTP ghost core occurred in ∼1 of 10 patients, indicating that CTP frequently overestimates the infarct core size at baseline, particularly in young patients with complete recanalization and short ischemia duration.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study, a secondary analysis of the ESCAPE-NA1 trial, most of the association between age and 90-day outcome was mediated by neuroimaging frailty, underscoring the importance of features like brain atrophy and small vessel disease, as opposed to chronological age alone, in predicting poststroke outcomes. Future trials could include such frailty features to stratify randomization or improve adjustment in outcome analyses.

CONCLUSIONS: CTP did not modify the effect of near-complete reperfusion on clinical outcomes. Thus, CTP cannot explain why some patients with near-complete reperfusion have poor clinical outcomes.
Aug.2023
CONCLUSION: Poor reperfusion after EVT was associated with worse outcomes than best medical management, although no difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was seen. These results emphasize the need for additional efforts to further improve technical EVT success rates.
Aug.2023
CONCLUSION: IR was associated with worse clinical outcomes than near-complete/complete reperfusion. Two-thirds of our patients with IR had non-MT-accessible occlusion patterns which were associated with better clinical and imaging outcomes compared with those with MT-accessible occlusion patterns.

CONCLUSIONS: In critically ill adults with respiratory failure from COVID-19, early compared to late initiation of IMV is associated with reduced mortality.
Jun.2023
CONCLUSIONS: Infarcts in a new territory are common in individuals undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke and are associated with poorer outcomes. Optimal therapeutic approaches, including technical strategies, to reduce INT represent a new target for incremental quality improvement of endovascular thrombectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: CVD risk factors, rather than CVD itself, were the major contributors to outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID-19. The occurrence of myocardial injury, regardless of CVD, and its association with outcomes suggests it is likely due to multiorgan injury related to acute inflammation rather than exacerbation of preexisting CVD.
Oct.2022
CONCLUSIONS: In a large population of critically ill patients with COVID-19, age had an independent exponential association with death. The number of preexisting comorbidities and acute physiologic ICU factors modified the association between age and death, but age still had an exponential association with death in subgroups according to the number of risk factors present. Additional studies are needed to identify the mechanisms underpinning why older age confers an increased risk of death in...

CONCLUSION: The majority of surveyed neurointerventionalists felt that dedicated MeVO EVT tools can be substantially improved upon. Different regions face various challenges in adoption of MeVO EVT, but overall, physicians are mostly awaiting better MeVO EVT tools.
