Article Abstract

Background And Aims: It is important to diagnose cerebral infarction at an early stage and select an appropriate treatment method. The number of stroke-trained physicians is unevenly distributed; thus, a shortage of specialists is a major problem in some regions. In this retrospective design study, we tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) we built using computer-aided detection/diagnosis may help medical physicians to classify stroke for the appropriate treatment.

Methods: To build the Stroke Classification and Treatment Support System AI, the clinical data of 231 hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke from January 2016 to December 2017 were used for training the AI. To verify the diagnostic accuracy, 151 patients who were admitted for stroke between January 2018 and December 2018 were also enrolled.

Results: By utilizing multimodal data, such as DWI and ADC map images, as well as patient examination data, we were able to construct an AI that can explain the analysis results with a small amount of training data. Furthermore, the AI was able to classify with high accuracy (Cohort 1, evaluation data 88.7%; Cohort 2, validation data 86.1%).

Conclusion: In recent years, the treatment options for cerebral infarction have increased in number and complexity, making it even more important to provide appropriate treatment according to the initial diagnosis. This system could be used for initial treatment to automatically diagnose and classify strokes in hospitals where stroke-trained physicians are not available and improve the prognosis of cerebral infarction.

Isolated spinal aneurysms with spontaneous regression.

Neurosurg Rev

September 2025

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University Hospital Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany.

Purpose: To share our clinical experience with conservative management of isolated spinal arterial aneurysms (ISAs) and to identify clinical scenarios where conservative management may be appropriate, in the context of a literature review.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of spinal angiograms from two German neuroradiology centers and conducted a systematic literature review of reported ISA cases. We analyzed demographics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, treatments, and outcomes.

The role of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with tandem lesions (TL) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a subject of ongoing debate. The substantial clot burden and the potential need for periprocedural antiplatelet therapy during emergent carotid stenting (CAS) add to the complexity of treatment decisions. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the literature to evaluate the comparative safety and efficacy of IVT plus EVT versus EVT alone in AIS patients with TL.

Large vessel occlusion (LVO)-induced acute ischemic stroke (AIS) manifests with abrupt onset and critical severity, primarily caused by cerebral artery atherosclerosis or cardiogenic embolism leading to luminal stenosis or occlusion. The authors report a case of acute massive cerebral infarction caused by occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and missed the time window for thrombolysis, in which spontaneous recanalization of the MCA was achieved after 1 week of conservative treatment. After 2 months of rehabilitation training, neurological functions and other symptoms significantly improved.

Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) dysfunction acts as a key mediator of ischemic brain injury, contributing to brain edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and neuronal damage. The integrity of the BBB is largely maintained by tight junction proteins, such as Claudin-5, and its disruption exacerbates neurological deficits. Neurokinin B (NKB), a neuropeptide that belongs to the tachykinin family, has been implicated in various physiological processes, including neuroinflammation and vascular function.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), a novel neuroprotective therapy, has broad potential for reducing the occurrence and recurrence of cerebrovascular events, yet its mechanisms are not incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RIC alleviates apoptosis, inflammation, and reperfusion injury in rat models of ischemic stroke by regulating the Elabela (ELA)-apelin-Apelin receptor (APJ) system.

Methods: We established a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with ischemia-reperfusion injury, and RIC was administered twice daily for 3 days post-MCAO.
