Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Normobaric hyperoxia combined with endovascular treatment for acute ischaemic stroke in China (OPENS-2 trial): a multicentre, randomised, single-blind, sham-controlled trial.
Endovascular treatment improves the recanalisation rate for patients with acute ischaemic stroke; however, even with endovascular treatment, approximately half of patients do not have a favourable functional outcome. We aimed to evaluate the effect of normobaric hyperoxia combined with endovascular treatment on functional outcomes up to 90 days after treatment in patients who had an acute ischaemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion. ⋯ Beijing Municipal Education Commission, Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau, and National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Some of the physiological changes that occur in pregnancy manifest in the liver. These alterations might exacerbate or improve some pre-existent liver diseases, while many conditions remain unaffected. Some hepatic manifestations during pregnancy are secondary to disorders unique to pregnancy. ⋯ Thus, a broad range of specialists might encounter liver abnormalities in pregnancy, necessitating an understanding of how the liver changes during pregnancy and the importance of multi-disciplinary input to mitigate maternal-fetal risks. From a global health perspective, pregnancy also offers a unique opportunity to influence disease management and initiate interventions that might influence the life course of pregnant people and their families. In this Review, we describe the challenges of diagnosing, risk stratifying, and managing liver disease in pregnancy, and explore factors that might affect future maternal health.
