Neck‐vein thrombosis during spaceflight
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Spaceflight imposes unique environmental challenges, including weightlessness, increased radiation exposure and confinement, which can lead to unexpected health effects. One such example is neck‐vein thrombosis, a condition rarely seen on Earth without predisposing factors such as venous catheters or infections.

Machine learning-based preoperative predictive analytics for lumbar spinal stenosis.
Neurosurgical Focus, 2019 OBJECTIVEPatient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following decompression surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) demonstrate considerable heterogeneity. Individualized prediction tools can provide valuable insights for shared decision-making.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Frailty is associated with poorer short‐term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and national guidelines recommend an assessment of frailty as part of the decision‐making process. However, multiple frailty indices are currently used in clinical practice, and it is unclear which has the best discrimination ...

New experimental model of acute aqueductal blockage in cats: effects on cerebrospinal fluid pressure and the size of brain ventricles [PDF]
, 2009 It is generally assumed that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is secreted in the brain ventricles, and so after an acute blockage of the aqueduct of Sylvius an increase in the ventricular CSF pressure and dilation of isolated ventricles may be expected. We have
