BACKGROUND Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells are of pivotal importance in human embryo implantation and homeostasis of the maternal fetal interface. Invasion of the endometrium by EVT contributes to placental anchorage, spiral artery remodeling, immunological defense, tolerogenic responses, and several collaborative cross talks involved in establishing and maintaining a successful pregnancy....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a new standard of care for selected, large vessel occlusive strokes. We aimed to determine frequency of potentially eligible patients for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and EVT in comprehensive stroke centers. In addition, predictors of EVT eligibility were derived. METHODS Patients from a stroke center-based registry (2003-2014), admitte...

Results Sample size: 88 patients. Repair treatment: surgical(S) 28,41%, endovascular (EVT) 56,82% and conservative 14,77%. Morbidity-GOS scale (S/EVT): 1 = 8 % /14 %; 2 = 4 %/ 2%; 3 =12 % /12 % 4: 28%/ 14% 5: 48 %/ 58% (p 0,59). We separated 2 GOS groups: good prognosis (grade 3,4,5) 88 %/84% and bad prognosis (1,2) 12 %/16% (p 0,64). Complications (S/EVT): vasospasm 28% /22% (p 0,57); rebleedi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE AICA aneurysms are rare and a challenge to treat surgically. We present our experience of the angiographic results and the clinical outcomes for 9 AICA aneurysms treated by EVT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1997 and 2009, EVT was attempted for 9 AICA aneurysms. Six patients presented with SAH, and 3 aneurysms were found incidentally. The location of the aneurysms was t...

PURPOSE To examine the validity of the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT; K. Williams, 1997) for assessing the expressive vocabulary skills of African American students. METHOD/RESULTS One hundred sixty-five African American preschool and kindergarten students were administered the EVT. The mean EVT score for these African American students was 96.44 (SD = 11.42), which is not appreciably lower...

A contributing factor to poor placental perfusion, leading to intrauterine growth restriction and preeclampsia, is the failure of invading extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells to remodel the maternal uterine arteries during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Noninvasive assessment of EVT cells in ongoing pregnancies is possible beginning three weeks after conception, using trophoblas...

INTRODUCTION Our purpose was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) of stroke caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO) performed by general interventional radiologists in cooperation with stroke neurologists and neuroradiologists at a center with a limited annual number of procedures. We aimed to compare our results with those previously reported from larger stroke c...

This paper attempted to apply an EVT-based pairwise copula method for modelling risk interaction between foreign exchange rates and equity indices of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) model dependence structure underlying assets with some selected listed stock indices. We filtered return residuals using stochastic volatility GJR-GARCH (1,1) models different distributions, we best-fitted in ...

BACKGROUND and Purpose Recent randomized controlled trials have demonstrated consistent effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke, leading to update on stroke management guidelines. We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of EVT overall and in subgroups stratified by age, baseline stroke severity, brain imaging feature, and anesthetic type...
