Normal‐Appearing White Matter Injury Mediates Chronic Deep Venous Hypoxia and Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore how cerebral hypoxia and Normal‐Appearing White Matter (NAWM) integrity affect MS lesion burden and clinical course. Methods Seventy‐nine MS patients, including 13 clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients and 66 relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients, and 44 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited from ...

Sex Representation in US Stroke Clinical Trials: A Decade of Trends and Challenges

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Stroke remains a major cause of disability and mortality in the US, with significant sex‐based disparities, and females remain underrepresented in stroke clinical trials. We aimed to examine sex representation in US‐based stroke clinical trials, identify trial characteristics associated with higher female enrollment (≥ 50%), and ...

IV Thrombolysis Facilitates Interventional Reperfusion in Non‐Cardioembolic but Not Cardioembolic Stroke

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before thrombectomy for ischemic stroke may alter clot structure and procedural performance. We investigated how IVT relates to thrombectomy metrics across stroke etiologies. Methods We performed a time‐to‐event analysis of consecutive patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO ...

Clinical Outcomes of SEEG‐Guided Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation in Children With Focal Drug‐Resistant Epilepsy: A Multicenter Real‐World Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Stereoelectroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG‐RFTC) has emerged as a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for children with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. Although evidence from real‐world studies remains limited, numerous pediatric cases have demonstrated promising outcomes. This retrospective

Defining mean time-to-failure in a particular failure-state for multi-failure-state systems

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2001
In multi-failure-state systems which have both dangerous (critical) and safe (noncritical) failure states, it is both meaningful and important to be able to measure the MTTF in a particular failure state separately from MTTF in general. MTTF/sub D/ (fail dangerous) and MTTF/sub S/ (fail safe) are defined, emphasizing the engineering context of the ...

Treating failure as state

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 1990
Typical failure handling schemes for statement based (or imperative) languages are not very satisfactory. A bold simple alternative is suggested in this report. The new scheme allows failure to be treated at more appropriate time and place.

State Responses to HMO Failures

Health Affairs, 1991
Prologue: As health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have flourished as an alternative to traditional means of delivering and paying for health care, so too has the body of federal and state regulation governing them. In the early years of HMOs, most regulation concerning them did little to restrict their function, since they were viewed as a market ...

Contraceptive Failure in the United States

Family Planning Perspectives, 1973
Data obtained from the 1970 National Fertility Study are analyzed to determine the incidence of contraceptive failure according to intent social background and method. Analyzed by life-table procedures the data indicate that 40% of contraceptive users fail to achieve their goal of either delaying (26%) or preventing (14%) pregnancy.

State Failure

2018
A failed state is a country with a government that cannot or will not deliver essential public services (political goods) to its citizens. Failed states are those political entities in international politics that supply deficient qualities and quantities of political goods and, simultaneously, no longer exercise a monopoly of violence within their ...

The Failure of State Building and the Promise of State Failure: reinterpreting the security–development nexus in Haiti

Third World Quarterly, 2009
This article critically examines the discourse surrounding fragile states in relation to the security–development nexus. I draw on the case of Haiti to problematise key assumptions underpinning mainstream approaches to resolving concerns of security and development through the contemporary project of state building.
