Summary: This study evaluated the ability of collateral maps to predict lesion growth and penumbra after acute anterior circulation ischemic strokes. The results showed that collateral perfusion grades were associated with lesion growth, and the collateral ratio had a high concordance correlation coefficient, making it useful for personalized application of recanalization treatments.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in relieving cerebral vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Results showed that SGB significantly relieved TCD parameters and improved DSA parameters, but its effect on cerebral microvasculature was limited.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) in the prophylactic treatment of migraine in the elderly. The results showed that SGB significantly reduced pain intensity, headache frequency, and duration of migraine in elderly patients, thereby reducing the need for adjunctive medications. Ultrasound-guided SGB may be a safe and effective intervention for the treatment of migraine in elderly patients.

Summary: Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Angiography (PC-MRA) is a potential method for cerebrovascular imaging, but it often has noise and broken vessels. This study used the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to fuse features from different models and proposed a vessel thinning and completion method. Experimental results show the effectiveness of this method and the completion vessels can improve the matching ratio with CE-MRA.

Summary: The study suggests that the effectiveness of SG RFA is influenced by the electrode positioning and the size of the ganglion, as the ablation zone may not fully cover the ganglion. This raises concerns about the appropriateness of the current RFA settings for SG.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of 0.2-mm isotropic lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) imaging using compressed sensing time-of-flight (CS TOF) at 7T and compared it with conventional TOF. The results showed that CS TOF can better visualize LSAs, and it has the potential to be an important tool for clinical research and applications in patients with neurologic diseases.

Summary: This study examined the association between aging and characteristics of cerebral arteries. Rapid alterations in three morphological features were found to be associated with aging in the 45-54 age group, suggesting the potential importance of this decade for early preservation of vascular aging.

Summary: The study aimed to accelerate non-contrast-enhanced 4D MRA for intracranial vasculopathy evaluations by using C-SENSE and to improve image quality. Results showed that C-SENSE6.5 could be used for evaluating both intracranial macrovascular and distal arteries, reducing acquisition time by 18%, while C-SENSE8 could be used for routine screening and clinical diagnosis with balanced image quality.

Summary: This study utilized computer modeling to evaluate the impact of contrast signal intensity evolution under different injection strategies on CE-MRA imaging. The results indicate that shorter plateau lengths and lower tail heights lead to increased measurement errors and blurring in the imaging. Optimal contrast injection guidelines were proposed for minimal degradation in CE-MRA imaging.

Summary: The study found that deficiency of LRP1 in GABAergic neurons leads to obesity due to increased food intake, decreased energy expenditure, and reduced locomotor activity. This results in higher levels of leptin and insulin, without changes in body weight. LRP1 in GABAergic neurons does not impact leptin action, and the signaling pathway modulates food intake and energy expenditure independently of leptin signaling and AgRP neurons.
