Yale neurologists identify consistent neuroinflammatory response in ICH patients
(Yale University) Understanding how the immune system responds to acute brain hemorrhage could open doors to identifying treatments for this devastating disease. However, up until now, there has been limited information on inflammation in the brain from human patients, especially during the first days after a hemorrhagic stroke.This led a team of researchers to partner with a large clinical trial of minimally-invasive surgery to tackle defining the human neuroinflammatory response in living patients.

Featured Review: Antenatal corticosteroids for accelerating fetal lung maturation in women at risk of preterm birth
The Cochrane review aboutantenatal steroids in reducing risk of infant mortality and morbidity is animportant one inCochrane ' s history. Cochrane ' s logo is based on the forest plot from the original publication in 1982. This review has recently been updated and lead author, Fiona Stewart, tells us how the logo might look now, base on the current data.What does this update tell us? Our overall findings can be summed up like this: antenatal steroids given to women at risk of preterm birth reduce the risk of infant mortality and morbidity. In other words, babies are more likely to survive and less likely to have serio...

Seventeen genetic abnormalities that cause brain aneurysms
(Universit é de Gen è ve) Intracranial aneurysm is a dilation of a blood vessel forming a fragile pocket. Rupture results in extremely severe haemorrhage. In the framework of the International Stroke Genetics Consortium, a team led by the University of Geneva, the University Hospitals of Geneva and the University of Utrecht has examinated the genome of more than 10,000 people suffering from aneurysms. 17 genetic abnormalities have been identified, notably involved in the functioning of the vascular endothelium.

Conclusions. GIB and MACEs significantly increased the risk of ICU admission and receiving MV but not the hospital mortality, which was independently associated with both AMI and ICH. Early prevention can at least reduce the complexity of clinical course and even the hospital mortality. (Source: Current Awareness Service for Health (CASH))
