Abstract
When starting a mechanical thrombectomy, manual aspiration with balloon guide catheters inserted into the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an efficient method for thrombus aspiration. However, no complications associated with this procedure have been reported. This study describes the case of a 76-year-old man who presented to our hospital with total aphasia and complete right-sided paralysis due to chronic atrial fibrillation and left occlusion of the ICA. When the balloon guide catheter was inserted and inflated at the origin of the left ICA, the patient's systolic blood pressure suddenly decreased from 114 mm Hg to 44 mm Hg. This sudden hypotension may have been caused by the carotid sinus reflex. Hypotension improved following balloon deflation. The procedure was continued, resulting in complete recanalization of the left ICA. The patient died from acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia. Although this complication is rare, similar phenomena have been recognized in carotid artery stenting and the use of flow-diverting devices. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a case wherein the carotid sinus reflex was induced by manual aspiration using a balloon guide catheter placed in the ICA. Clinicians should recognize the importance of ensuring that the proximal end of the balloon crosses the carotid sinus when dilating and occluding the ICA with a balloon to avoid the carotid sinus reflex.

Evaluating Hydroxyapatite, Gold Nanoparticles, and Graphene-Copper as Bimodal Agents for X-ray and Computed Tomography. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:bioengineering10020238.

Abstract
A global need exists for new and more effective contrast agents for computed tomography and traditional X-ray modalities. Among the few options available nowadays, limitations imposed by industrial production, performance, and efficacy restrict the use and reduce the potential of both imaging techniques. The use of nanomaterials as new contrast agents for X-ray and computed tomography is an innovative and viable way to increase the options and enhance performance. In this study, we evaluated eight nanomaterials: hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (Zn-HA 10%); hydroxyapatite doped with strontium (Sr-HA 10%); hydroxyapatite without thermal treatment (HA 282 STT); thermally treated hydroxyapatite (HA 212 500 °C and HA 01.256 CTT 1000 °C); hydroxyapatite microspheres (HA microspheres); gold nanoparticles (AuNP); and graphene oxide doped with copper (Cu-GO). The results showed that for both imaging modalities; HA microspheres were the best option, followed by hydroxyapatite thermally treated at 1000 °C. The nanomaterials with the worst results were hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (Zn-HA 10%), and hydroxyapatite doped with strontium (Sr-HA 10%). Our data demonstrated the potential of using nanomaterials, especially HA microspheres, and hydroxyapatite with thermal treatment (HA 01.256 CTT 1000 °C) as contrast agents for X-ray and computed tomography.

Abstract
The urgency of new contrast agents, especially for X-Ray and Computed Tomography (CT) is increasing each day. Although both imaging modalities are the most routinely used imaging techniques, the availability of contrast agent is very limited. In this scenario, the use of graphene quantum dots (GQDs), a member of the graphene family, which has several characteristics, including low toxicity, good biocompatibility and physical-chemical properties, may represent an important application of this material. Thus, using X-Ray (conventional) and CT analysis was evaluated the applicability of GQDs as contrast agent for both imaging modalities. The results demonstrated that GQDs are able to attenuate X-Ray forming sharp imaging in both modalities. The data broaden the spectrum of GQDs use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES We present a clinical case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Killip I who was admitted to our hospital. She experienced complications in the haemodynamic lab and in the operating room, including cardiogenic and anaphylactic shock requiring ventricular assist support. Conservative management support with inotropes and vasopressors in cardiogenic shock has been shown to be insufficient in many patients to maintain adequate perfusion and prevent irreversible multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. For this reason, short-term mechanical circulatory support systems are increasing substantially. The objective of this article is to develop optimal and individualised care plans using the NANDA, NOC, NIC taxonomies. CLINICAL OBSERVATION An evaluation based on Virginia Henderson's basic needs was made, and two altered needs stood out: breathing and circulation. The patient required mechanical ventilation and mechanical circulatory support. INTERVENTIONS In relation to the highlighted needs, six diagnoses were prioritized according to the NANDA taxonomy using the Análisis de Resultado del Estado Actual (AREA) (Outcome-Present State Test (OPT)) model: risk of decreased cardiac output, impaired spontaneous ventilation, impaired tissue integrity, risk of disuse syndrome, risk of infection and risk of hypothermia. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Outcome criteria scores showed a favourable evolution after 96 h. The development of a standardized NANDA-NOC-NIC language allowed us to organize the nursing care plan.
