The role of D-dimer in intracerebral haemorrhage outcomes

Activation of the coagulation and fibrinolysis system is a significant factor in secondary brain injury following spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). However, the relationships between plasma...

Novel middle meningeal artery-targeted mini-craniotomy incision and technique for treatment of chronic subdural hematoma with membranes/septations – technical note and case series

Subdural hematomas (SDH) requiring surgery are associated with significant morbidity in elderly patients. We describe a novel technique/incision for minimizing invasiveness and duration, minimizing...

CORM-2 attenuates red blood cell-mediated inflammation by upregulating phagocytic capacity of cerebral microglial cells of the neonatal rat in vitro

•Effectively inhibiting inflammatory response in peri-hematoma area may reduce ICH-mediated secondary ischemic brain injury.•We established microglia and RBCs co-culture in vitro, to investigate the...

The role of PGC-1α in brain injury: mechanisms and therapeutic potential

Brain injury remains a significant contributor to mortality and long-term neurological disability worldwide, despite ongoing research efforts to develop effective therapies that can mitigate secondary...

Perioperative management of brain hemorrhage: Advances in anesthetic strategies and translational medicine

•Brain hemorrhage presents perioperative challenges, requiring optimized anesthetic strategies.•Anesthesia choice and agent selection significantly influence perioperative outcomes.•Advanced neuromonitoring...

Grading of acute spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage combined with gut dysfunction assessment as a novel and improved prognostic score

•The GD-ICH model demonstrated greater accuracy and predictive value than conventional models.•Gut dysfunction is as a reliable prognostic factor in ICH.•Gut dysfunction >7.5 days predicts poor prognosis,...

The impact of body-mass-index on functional outcomes and bleeding volumes in patients suffering spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage

The association between obesity and clinical as well as radiological outcomes in patients suffering spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. The obesity paradox suggests a protective...

Stromal vascular fraction cell therapy: A promising therapeutic method for intracerebral hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most devastating and life-threatening forms of stroke, characterized by bleeding within the brain parenchyma. The condition is associated with a high mortality...

Advancing brain injury treatment and neuroprotection with ligustilide: Mechanisms and therapeutic potential

Brain injury is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, attributable to diverse etiologies such as trauma, hypoxia, stroke, infection, or neurodegenerative diseases. Due to the...

Premorbid long-term statin use can reduce the risk of hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of cerebral infarction is considered as one of the most serious complications. Increasing evidence show that statin use might reduce the neuroinflammation and even improve...

Coexistence of ruptured basilar artery perforator aneurysm undetected on initial angiogram and unruptured anterior cerebral artery saccular aneurysm: Case report and literature review

Ruptured basilar artery perforator aneurysm (BAPA) is a rare cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and is difficult to diagnose....

The Progressive Frontier of Aneurysmal subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Diagnosis and treatment Advances

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage affects 6 to 9 out of every 100,000 people annually, with a mortality rate of 35%. Many people suffer from long-term disabilities, often associated with cognitive...

Effectiveness of 3D printing technology-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in primary hospitals

We aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of integrating 3D-printing technology with neuroendoscopy for treating hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH)....

Simultaneous bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage: case report and literature review

To present a rare case of symmetric hemorrhages in the bilateral basal ganglia with unique imaging findings and discuss potential pathophysiological mechanisms....

Integrated network pharmacology reveals the mechanisms of punicalagin in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases treatment

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), carotid atherosclerosis (CAS), and cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS), continue to impose...

Immune cells in intracerebral hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the deadliest form of stroke, is characterized by bleeding into brain parenchyma and formation of hematoma. Currently, there is no treatment available for ICH. Inflammatory...

Intracranial pressure monitoring and minimally invasive surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage: Current status, challenges, and future

With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has shifted from traditional open surgery to more precise minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This...

Utilizing neuroimaging visualization technology to enhance standardized neurosurgical training for Traditional Chinese Medicine residents: A neuroanatomical education study

This study aims to address the difficulties encountered by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) students in learning neuroanatomy during clinical training by utilizing neuroimaging visualization tech...

Step-down infusion of barbiturate improves neurofunction in a new rat model of rebleeding subarachnoid hemorrhage

Rebleeding from a ruptured aneurysm is a risk factor for fatal prognosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A novel barbiturate treatment, step-down infusion of barbiturate (sd-B), was previously developed;...

No association of brain CT blend sign with functional outcomes in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage after craniotomy

•We found the sub-high-density region of blend sign remained in a liquid state even after a period of placement and was easily drained during the operation.•We arise a conjecture that patients with...

Prognosis of recovery and death within 1–6 months of spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage undergoing suboccipital craniotomy

Suboccipital craniotomy is a considerable surgical approach for large spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage, but its prognostic has not been comprehensively addressed. This study aims to report the surgical...

Ngn2 failed to induce astrocyte-to-neuron reprogramming after intracerebral hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe neurological disorder with high mortality due to neuronal loss, and current therapies face significant challenges. Cell reprogramming offers a potential solution....

Atorvastatin and glucocorticoid therapy for retroclival epidural hematoma: Case report and literature review

Retroclival epidural hematomas (REDH) are particularly rare conditions. We report for the first time the effect of conservative treatment of this rare condition with atorvastatin and glucocorticoids...

Development and validation of an improved ICH score: Integrating clinical and radiographic parameters for enhanced prediction of 30-day mortality in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

•Adding pupil status and warfarin use improves ICH score mortality prediction.•The new score achieved an AUROC of 0.91, better than the original score of 0.87.•Enhanced accuracy benefits both nonoperative...

mGluR1 characteristic in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

Glutamate receptor-mediated excitotoxicity plays crucial role in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Truncation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) is a key step in excitotoxicity,...
