Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for Nonacute Subdural Hematoma.
The effect of embolization of the middle meningeal artery in patients with subacute or chronic subdural hematoma is uncertain. ⋯ Among patients with symptomatic nonacute subdural hematoma (of whom 78% underwent burr-hole drainage), middle meningeal artery embolization resulted in a 90-day incidence of symptomatic recurrence or progression similar to that with usual care but was associated with a lower incidence of serious adverse events.

Genomic sequencing technology allows for identification of reproductive couples with an increased chance, as compared with that in the general population, of having a child with an autosomal recessive or X-linked genetic condition. ⋯ Couple-based reproductive genetic carrier screening was largely acceptable to participants and was used to inform reproductive decision making. The delivery of screening to a diverse and geographically dispersed population was feasible.
