Late-onset vascular complications of radiotherapy for primary brain tumors: a case –control and cross-sectional analysis
ConclusionsStroke prevalence is increased in long-surviving  PBT patients treated with cranial RT.Implications for cancer survivorsCV events are frequent in long survivors of PBT treated with cerebral RT. We propose a check list to guide management of late CV complications in adults treated with RT for PBT.

Autophagy regulates inflammation in intracerebral hemorrhage: Enemy or friend?
In conclusion, the mutual regulation of autophagy and inflammation in ICH is worth exploring. The control of inflammation by autophagy will hopefully prove to be an essential treatment target for ICH.PMID:36726453 | PMC:PMC9884704 | DOI:10.3389/fncel.2022.1036313

Diagnostic accuracy of major stroke types in Chinese adults: A clinical adjudication study involving 40,000 stroke cases
Lancet Reg Health West Pac. 2022 Mar 5;21:100415. doi: 10.1016/j.lanwpc.2022.100415. eCollection 2022 Apr.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Widespread use of brain imaging in suspected stroke cases in Chinese adults has prompted the need for clinical adjudication studies of stroke types. We conducted a clinical adjudication study to assess the reporting and diagnostic accuracy of major stroke types.METHODS: The prospective China Kadoorie Biobank recruited >512,000 adults (mean age 52 years, 59% women) from 10 urban and rural areas in China during 2004-2008, and recorded 45,859 first-ever incident stroke cases during an 11-year follow...

Calcification in high grade gliomas treated with bevacizumab
Abstract Calcification is a rare phenomenon in high grade glioma (HGG). CT scans are sensitive to mineralization but used infrequently for tumor assessment in the MRI era. The presence of calcification can be overlooked on routine MRI. Calcification may reflect chronicity and natural changes in the tumor or its milieu over time and may be accelerated by certain treatments. Calcification may have clinical significance which could signal potential risk for stroke or hemorrhage related to particular therapies; or it may be a positive prognostic factor for treatment response. The true incidence and relevance of calcif...

Cn-15 * adverse effects of bevacizumab in brain tumor patients
CONCLUSION: The range of toxicities was similar to other reports. Interestingly, hypertension was the most common adverse effect and was often not treated. The high incidence of lymphocytopenia may have implications for combination with immunotherapies. These findings underscore the need to develop predictive models to identify patients at high risk for serious treatment-related toxicities.
