Long-Term Temporal Profile of Motor Recovery After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Objective: Limited data is available to describe the temporal profile of long-term recovery over 1 year after the stroke in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: A registered multicentral cohort was conducted to consecutively include non-herniated supratentorial ICH patients from November 2013 to January 2023. Eligible patients received follow-ups at the time of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and each year after the enrollments until death or the study termination.

High Plasma Fibrinogen Level Elevates the Risk of Cardiac Complications Following Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Background: Cardiac complications are related to poor prognosis after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aims to predict the cardiac complications arising from small intracranial hematoma at ultraearly stage.

Methods: The data of this work were derived from the Risk Stratification and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Acute ICH Patients study (ClinicalTrials.

Novel machine learning models to predict pneumonia events in supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage populations: An analysis of the study.

Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) contributes to high mortality rates in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) populations. Accurate prediction and early intervention of SAP are associated with prognosis. None of the previously developed predictive scoring systems are widely accepted.

Predictive factors of postoperative infection-related complications in adult patients with cerebral cavernous malformations.

Postoperative infection is an important factor contributing to poor prognosis after surgical treatment of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). However, the predictive factors of postoperative infection-related complications in adult patients with CCM have still not been well established. To identify possible predictive factors of postoperative infection after CCM surgery, we retrospectively evaluated the data of CCM patients who were enrolled into our prospective registry database.

LncRNAs expression signatures of human brain arteriovenous malformation revealed by microarray.

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) were important genes involved in a variety of biological functions. They are aberrantly expressed in many types of diseases. In this study, we described LncRNAs profiles in 4 pairs of human brain arteriovenous malformation(AVM) and the corresponding fragment of superior temporal arteries(STA) or small scalp arteries (controlled arteries, CA) and try to find LncRNAs that correlated with the human brain AVM and with clinical symptoms.

Surgical outcome of motor deficits and neurological status in brainstem cavernous malformations based on preoperative diffusion tensor imaging: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: Surgical management of brainstem lesions is challenging due to the highly compact, eloquent anatomy of the brainstem. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of preoperative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) in brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs). METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was performed by using stratified blocked randomization.

Testing the Reliability of BOLD-fMRI Motor Mapping in Patients with Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations by Electric Cortical Stimulation and Surgery Outcomes.

Objective: To test the reliability of blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in the primary hand motor cortex (M1) among patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by electric cortical stimulation (ECS) and surgery outcomes.

Methods: Forty-three patients with AVMs involving/adjacent to M1 underwent blood oxygen level-dependent fMRI (BOLD-fMRI) with repetitive finger-to-thumb opposition movements. The generated image sets were processed on the iPlan 3.
