Endovascular therapy versus best medical care for acute ischemic stroke with distal medium vessel occlusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ziyue Wang, Jiacheng Li, Qianqian Kong, Hao Yan, Yi Zhang, Xirui Zhou, Zhiyuan Yu, Hao Huang, Xiang Luo

“…In individuals with ACA occlusion, EVT resulted in reduced functional independence (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.31-0.98). For NIHSS < 6, BMT achieved better functional independence compared to EVT (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.98) and EVT showed higher sICH (OR: 3.44, 95% CI: 1.42-8.31).Conclusion For patients with AIS and DMVO occlusion, EVT fails to improve functional prognosis while increasing sICH incidence. …”

On the causal connection in lifespan correlations and the possible existence of a ‘number of life’ at molecular level by Andrés Escala

“…In this paper, we show that six traits (such as metabolic rate, mass, heart rate, etc) acting at the system level, are all related to lifespan thru the existence of an approximately constant number of respiration cycles in a lifespan ( $$\mathrm N_r$$ ), therefore, we find that those relationships are not independently related to ageing. In addition, we study if the approximately constant $$\mathrm N_r$$ is possibly linked with the end-of-lifespan somatic mutation burden, another number recently found to be approximately constant (Cagan, Nature 604:517–524, 2022). …”
