    Abstract Background: Liquid embolic agents and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles have been used for the embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) for the treatment of chronic subdural hematomas. However, the vascular penetration and distribution of these embolic agents have not yet been compared. The current study compares distribution of a liquid embolic agent (Squid) to PVA particles (Contour) in an in vitro model of the MMA.
    Methods: MMA models were embolized with Contour PVA particles 45-150 µm, Contour PVA particles 150-250 µm, and Squid-18 liquid embolic agent (n=5 each). The models were scanned and every vascular segment with embolic agent was manually marked on the images. Embolized vascular length as a percentage of control, average embolized vascular diameter, and embolization time were compared between the groups.
    Results: The 150-250 µm Contour particles primarily accumulated close to the microcatheter tip, yielding proximal branch occlusions. The 45-150 µm Contour particles achieved a more distal distribution, but in a patchy segmental pattern. However, the models embolized with Squid-18 had a consistently distal, near-complete and homogenous distribution. Embolized vascular length was significantly higher (76±13% vs 5±3%, P=0.0007) and average embolized vessel diameter was significantly smaller (405±25 µm vs 775±225 µm, P=0.0006) with Squid than with Contour. Embolization time with Squid was also lower (2.8±2.4 min vs 6.4±2.7 min, P=0.09).
    Conclusions: Squid-18 liquid results in a considerably more consistent, distal and homogeneous pattern of embolysate distribution than Contour PVA particles in an anatomical model of the MMA tree.

    Abstract Introduction: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard consolidation option for transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The aim of this study is to report the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes after frontline ASCT in newly-diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients in a real-world setting.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective, survival analysis of all NDMM patients included in the MM Uruguayan Registry.
    Results: We included 151 NDMM patients treated with induction therapy followed by high-dose melphalan and ASCT as consolidation. The median age at diagnosis was 59 years, and the international staging system (ISS) risk groups were ISS-III 32.9%, ISS-II 37.8%, and ISS-I 29.4%. Frontline induction regimens included bortezomib in 61.6% of cases, and maintenance therapy was used in 63.9% of reported cases. With a median follow-up of 42 months, the 36-month OS and PFS for the whole group were 82.4% (95% CI 75.9% to 89.4%) and 63.8% (95% CI 55.6% to 73.3%), respectively, median OS of 98 months and median PFS of 47 months. The 100-month OS and PFS for the entire group were 48.0% (95% CI 34.9% to 66.0%) and 17.3% (95% CI 8.4% to 35.8%), respectively.
    Conclusion: ASCT is a feasible, safe, and potent strategy that provides a prolonged median OS and PFS in NDMM patients. This approach can be implemented in low-income countries.

    Abstract Background: The Tigertriever stent retriever (Rapid Medical) can be actively expanded and contracted by the operator, which allows for several actuation-related parameters to be optimized to potentially improve device efficacy. These parameters have not yet been evaluated. We conducted a benchtop study to evaluate the effect of actuation frequency on clot integration within the stent.
    Methods: A Tigertriever 17 device was deployed within a biological clot analog placed in a straight tube. The device was actuated between the maximally contracted and maximally expanded states with three different frequencies: passive (one-time opening,
    Results: The clot integration factor was significantly higher (23% increase,
    Conclusions: Faster actuation frequencies may result in improved clot integration with the Tigertriever device. This effect needs to be validated by clinical data.

    Abstract Introduction: Infections represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). In Latin America, data on infectious complications in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients are limited.
    Methods: We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients with NDMM in Uruguay between June 2019 and December 2020. Patients with active disease, on active therapy and who provided written informed consent were included. Elegible patients were followed for 6 months from the time of diagnosis and before proceeding to autologous stem cell transplantation or until death, whichever occurred first. Our primary endpoint was the number of infectious events that required hospitalization for ≥ 24 h.
    Main results: Of 124 patients with NDMM, 54 (43.5 %) had infectious complications (74 infectious events), the majority (74.3 %) within the first 3 months from diagnosis. The most common sites of infection were urinary (39.2 %) and respiratory tracts (33.8 %). The microbial agent was identified in 60.8 % of patients with Gram-negative bacteria (71.4 %) as the most common pathogen. Viral and fungal infections were infrequent. In the multivariable analysis, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was ≥ 2 (odds ratio [OR], 2.16; 95 % confidence interval [95 %CI], 1.23 - 3.79; p = 0.008) and creatinine ≥ 2 mg/dl (OR, 2.33; 95 %CI, 1.33 - 4.07; p = 0.003) were independent factors associated with bacterial infections. At 6 months, 14 patients (11.3 %) had died, 50 % related to infectious complications.
    Conclusion: Bacterial infections are a substantial cause of hospital admissions and early death in patients with NDMM. Antibiotic prophylaxis should be considered to reduce infectious complications in patients with MM.
