Summary: This study found that hyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality and hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The hyperglycemic group had higher rates of hematoma expansion and larger hematoma volumes compared to the normoglycemic group. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that blood glucose is an independent predictor of hematoma expansion.

Summary: A nomogram model based on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) was developed and validated to predict the short-term prognosis of Chinese patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Four models were established using radiomics and logistic regression analyses, with the combined model showing the best predictive performance. A radiomics-clinical (R-C) nomogram was visualized and demonstrated satisfactory calibration and clinical value.

Summary: This study aims to validate the ICH and ICH-GS scores in patients with cerebellar hemorrhage and compare the outcomes of surgical management with conservative treatment. The results showed that both ICH and ICH-GS scores have good prognostic accuracy for overall mortality and functional outcomes. Surgical management was beneficial for patients with severe cerebellar hemorrhages, indicated by high ICH scores, while conservative treatment was reasonable for patients with lower ICH scores. Therefore, ICH and ICH-GS scores are useful tools for predicting survival and outcome in cerebellar ICH patients.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of stress hyperglycemia on clinical outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage using the glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ratio. The results indicate that higher glucose-to-HbA1c ratio is independently associated with worse functional outcomes at discharge and 90 days in these patients.

Summary: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a dangerous subtype of stroke with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Targeting prevention of hematoma growth and perihematomal edema expansion shows promise as a therapeutic approach. Blood-based biomarkers are being studied as potential diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic markers due to their accessibility and acceptance in clinical practice. Validation studies are needed to determine the usefulness of these biomarkers in the future.

Summary: The serum glucose/potassium ratio (GPR) is a potential prognostic predictor for acute brain injury-related diseases, and is weakly correlated with the NIHSS score, GCS score, and hematoma volume. It is independently associated with poor outcomes and significantly improves the prognostic predictive capability of hematoma volume.

Summary: Acute intracerebral hemorrhage is a serious medical emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing the cause, monitoring patients, and assessing the risk of hematoma expansion and poor outcomes. Lowering blood pressure and reversing coagulopathy are the mainstays of medical treatment during the acute phase, with the goal of preventing hematoma expansion. The efficacy of these therapies is time-dependent and has a narrow time window. This review provides an update on the etiological diagnostic workup, acute treatment, and prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between different locations (deep versus lobar) of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and early neurological deterioration, hematoma expansion (HE), and outcome. The results showed that lobar ICH location was associated with more common HE and early neurological deterioration, while deep ICH location was associated with smaller hematoma size. However, after adjusting for prognostic variables, deep ICH was associated with worse outcome.

Summary: This article summarizes the current knowledge of genetic variations in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), with a focus on location distribution and outcome. Investigations have shown that certain genetic variants are associated with lobar ICH or deep ICH, and some variations in genes may contribute to the outcome of ICH.

Summary: The current research on the neuropathology of COVID-19 deceased patients is still limited, focusing on vascular-related and infection-related inflammatory tissue damage. However, it is currently unclear whether these findings are the result of direct viral pathology or the non-specific impact of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases on the brain.

Summary: The study evaluated the association between glycemic gap (GG) and in-hospital mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). GG was found to be an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and showed better predictive performance in diabetic patients compared to admission glucose levels. Admission GG may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker for ICH patients with diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether a combination of significant risk variables, pro-inflammatory markers, and candidate genes could serve as a predictive marker for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study identified higher BMI, triglycerides, poor sleep, IL-6, IL-1 beta, and hsCRP as independent predictors for KOA. Additionally, specific haplotypes within CRP, IL-6, VDR, and eNOS genes were found to impact KOA risk, further enhancing the predictive ability of the model.

Summary: Atherosclerosis is the formation of plaque within arteries, caused by the accumulation of fats, cholesterol, and fibrous material, leading to blockage of blood flow and ischemia. It has a significant impact on global health statistics, being the main cause of morbidity and mortality for diseases such as rheumatological, heart, and brain disorders. Inflammation and coagulatory mediators contribute to the development and worsening of atherosclerotic plaque, with neutrophil extracellular traps and NLRP3 playing a significant role in this process. This review focuses on the contribution of these two processes in atherosclerosis, inflammation, and atherothrombosis.

Summary: Circulating C-reactive protein (pCRP) concentrations significantly increase during acute and chronic infection and disease, playing a role in complement fixation. It is now known that pCRP dissociates into the monomeric form (mCRP) when exposed to activated immune cells or damaged tissue, becoming biologically active. Studies have shown that mCRP is distributed within the brain tissue of individuals with neuroinflammatory disease and has been linked to neurovascular dysfunction, blood brain barrier compromise, and increased risk of dementia. Future therapeutic options aim to inhibit pCRP-LPC mediated dissociation and prevent associated damage.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive update on the clinical assessment, diagnosis, complications, treatment, and follow-up of peripheral nervous system vasculitides (PNSV). Recent advancements in neuroimaging, molecular testing, and peripheral nerve biopsy have improved the clinical assessment and diagnostic accuracy of PNSV. The identification of specific morphological findings has improved the differentiation between systemic and non-systemic neuropathies, leading to more accurate diagnoses and proper management.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of e-ASPECTS software in delineating the extent of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on brain CT scans. The results showed that the software achieved excellent or good delineation of ICH extent in 71% of cases. However, it was more likely to over- or under-estimate the extent when ICH was more extensive, intraventricular, or extra-axial.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in primary and EVT-induced secondary medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO). The results showed that primary MeVO had poorer outcomes in terms of complications, EVT efficacy, and the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-2 at 3 months compared to exclusive large-vessel occlusion (LVO). However, EVT-induced secondary MeVO showed similar safety and efficacy outcomes as exclusive LVO and had better outcomes in terms of mRS 0-2 compared to primary MeVO.

The study found that rural counties had significantly longer travel distances and times compared to urban counties. Counties with high and medium stroke prevalence also had higher travel times and distances compared to low stroke prevalence counties. Therefore, addressing transportation barriers and implementing tele-rehabilitation are crucial for improving access to stroke aftercare in these areas.

The results showed that serum ALP levels in ICH patients were significantly elevated and correlated with hematoma volume and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. High serum ALP levels may serve as a potential predictor for the severity and unfavorable prognosis of ICH.
