Thrombectomy in Patients Ineligible for iv tPA (THRILL)
No full textRationale A relevant proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke are ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Mechanical thrombectomy offers a treatment alternative for these patients; however, only few data are available on its safety and efficacy. Aims and/or hypothesis The aim of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of stent retrievers as device class with best medical care alone in acute stroke patients with large intracranial vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who are not eligible for intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator up to eight-hours of symptom onset. Design ‘Thrombectomy in patients ineligible for iv tPA’ is a prospective, open-label, blinded end-point, binational (Germany and Austria), two-arm, randomized, controlled, post-market study. Study outcome(s) Primary end-point is the modified Rankin Score shift analysis 90 days (±14) after stroke. Secondary end-points are excellent neurological outcomes (modified Rankin Score ≤ 1), good neurological outcomes (modified Rankin Score ≤ 2 or National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale improvement ≥ 10), difference between predicted infarct volume and actual core infarct volume (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) at 30 (±6) h post-ictus, successful recanalization (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score 2b or 3), functional health status 90 (±14) days after stroke (European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions) as well as common safety endpoints (adverse event, serious adverse event, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage at 30 (±6) h, death, or dependency). Discussion Whether mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are not eligible for intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator improves clinical outcomes is unclear. ‘Thrombectomy in patients ineligible for iv tPA’ may change clinical practice by providing evidence of an effective and safe treatment for such patients
Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Gadofluorine M-enhanced magnetic resonance nerve imaging : comparison between acute inflammatory and chronic degenerative demyelination in rats
No full textNerve imaging by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging tool for the diagnostic work-up of patients with PNS disorders. We have recently shown that the experimental MR contrast agent gadofluorine M (Gf, Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Berlin) accumulates in nerves undergoing Wallerian degeneration and in areas of acute focal demyelination allowing in-vivo assessment of nerve pathology. The exact pathomechanism underlying Gf accumulation in peripheral nerve disorders is unknown so far. In the present study we compared nerve signal alterations on T2-w and Gf-enhanced T1-w MRI in two different models of acute inflammatory and chronic degenerative demyelination: experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) induced by immunization with PNS myelin and experimental Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease in rats overexpressing the myelin protein PMP22. During the acute stage of inflammation and demyelination, strong Gf enhancement on T1-w MRI was seen in nerve roots and peripheral nerves in EAN, which resolved with completed remyelination. Similarly, Gf accumulation was seen in CMT rats during early stages with active demyelination at 6 weeks while at chronic stages (9 months) Gf enhancement decreased despite numerous demyelinated axons and onion bulb formation. At all disease stages no signal alterations were seen on T2-w MRI. In conclusion, our data show that the novel MR contrast agent Gf, but not Gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA, facilitates detection of ongoing demyelination by MR neurography independent from the underlying pathology. It appears that the extent of Gf enhancement depends on the acuity of demyelination and is probably related to a transient disturbance of the blood-nerve barrier. Clinical development of Gf may help to further improve the sensitivity of nerve lesion assessment by MRI in patients with peripheral neuropathies. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
