Abstract: A catheter for extracting thrombotic material from a head blood vessel. The catheter includes a suction sheath to extract the thrombotic material from a distal side to a proximal side of the catheter; an inflation sheath to feed an inflatable balloon to occlude the blood vessel in an inflated state; a tubular extension extending beyond the distal end of the inflation sheath, the extension being defined such that a distal tip of the extension is placed downstream the ophthalmic segment when the distal end of the inflation sheath is placed upstream the ophthalmic segment. A method for extracting thrombotic material from a head blood vessel is provided as well.

Abstract: A probiotic composition comprising Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum CECT 7894 is provided. The probiotic composition is useful in treating, preventing, or ameliorating an intestinal barrier dysfunction (e.g., increased intestinal permeability) or associated condition, or symptoms, complications and/or sequela thereof in a subject in need thereof, by producing polyphosphate. A combination of the probiotic composition with at at least one human milk oligosaccharide is also provided.
