Background Expanding time window using the emerging technologies for mechanical thrombectomy can improve chances of achieving successful thrombectomy and improve clinical outcome in patients that would have only received conservative treatment. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness
The overarching strategy is to give subjects preload foods of variable combinations of protein-to-carbohydrate ratios (two levels) and caloric load (two levels), testing the effect this has on ad libitum consumption, using neuroimaging, sensory and endocrine metrics as predictor variables.

Background and current status:
It has been proved that oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) is effective in preventing situations with high risk of thromboembolic events and in treating them. It significantly decreases ischemic stroke rates as well as their severity and death risk. However it is a
Hyperglycemia is a common finding in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with and without diabetes (1-4). Though percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the cornerstone of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Each subject will receive one infusion of autologous, radiolabeled and BioRBC labeled INTERCEPT RBCs (Test RBCs) and one infusion of autologous BioRBC labeled untreated RBCs (Control RBCs) concomitantly. Each infusion will be approximately 20 mL, i.e., 10 mL of 51-chromium labeled RBC, and 10 mL of
Bowel cancer, or colorectal cancer (CRC), is the second most common cancer affecting both men and women in England. The majority of CRCs develop from a pre-cancerous type of growth in the bowel called an adenoma. Detecting and removing these adenomas is important in reducing CRC risk. A study which
