Centrum Semiovale Perivascular Spaces Predict First Hemorrhagic Lesion in Asymptomatic Amyloid‐Positive Individuals

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Identification of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) before its hemorrhagic manifestations remains limited. We aimed to determine whether severe enlarged perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (EPVS‐CSO) identify a prehemorrhagic stage of sporadic CAA by predicting the first appearance of CAA‐related hemorrhagic lesions or incident ...

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.
