Can pulsatile CSF flow across the cerebral aqueduct cause ventriculomegaly? A prospective study of patients with communicating hydrocephalus
ConclusionsThe results supported the hypothesis with respect to the direction of ΔPnet, although the magnitude was low. Thus, although the pulsations may generate a pressure difference across the CA it is likely too small to explain the ventriculomegaly in communicating hydrocephalus.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Clinical Symptoms, Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Metrics and White Matter Changes
Conclusions Patients with NPH, regardless of stages of the diseases, have increased ASV values and could benefit from shunting. Decreasing ASV values of patients with FG 3 comparing with those with FG 2 support the hypothesis of decreasing compliance of brain with aging and increasing severity of small-vessel disease.

Long-term functional prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with rehabilitation combined with hyperbaric oxygen: Case-series study
The long-term prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has received increasing attention in recent years. Hyperbaric oxygen and rehabilitation are already used in clinical treatment of patients with aSAH, but it is unclear whether it can improve the long-term prognosis of patients postoperation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognosis and prognostic factors associated with combined rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with aSAH. Information were retrospectively collected from patients with aSAH treated from October 2014 to July 2017, including demo...

Long-term Outcomes and Risk Factors Related to Hydrocephalus After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
AbstractHydrocephalus after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common and treatable complication. However, the long-term outcomes and factors for predicting hydrocephalus have seldom been studied. The goal of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes and analyze the risk factors of hydrocephalus after ICH. A consecutive series of 1342 patients with ICH were reviewed from 2010 to 2016 to identify significant risk factors for hydrocephalus. Patients with a first-ever ICH without any prior diagnosis of hydrocephalus after ICH were followed up for survival status and cause of death. Risk factors for hydrocephalus wer...

Early Administration of Desmopressin and Platelet Transfusion for Reducing Hematoma Expansion in Patients With Acute Antiplatelet Therapy Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage*
Conclusions: In line with the randomized Platelet Transfusion Versus Standard Care After Acute Stroke Due to Spontaneous Cerebral Hemorrhage Associated With Antiplatelet Therapy trial, our results suggest no hemostatic efficacy of early platelet transfusion in intracerebral hemorrhage under antiplatelet treatment. Contrary to results of preclinical and clinical nonintracerebral hemorrhage studies, adjunct 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin showed no benefit in limiting hematoma expansion or improving functional outcome.

Dysphagia following non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: A prospective pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Care pathways for patients admitted to hospital with non-traumatic SAH should include early screening for dysphagia risk. Further research using a larger prospective cohort is required to validate dysphagia incidence and risk factors in this patient cohort. What this paper adds What is already known on this subject Dysphagia is a negative complication following non-traumatic SAH, and can occur as a result of primary injury or secondary to treatment complications (e.g., intubation and ventilation, surgical intervention). However, limited evidence regarding its incidence, risk factors, clinica...

Systemic Immune-Inflammation (SII) index predicts poor outcome after spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 9% to 27% of all strokes1 and is associated with high mortality and poor functional outcome2. Different processes contribute to parenchymal damage, including the mass effect caused by the hematoma, vasogenic edema, and hydrocephalus.3-5 At the biochemical level, the extravasation of blood products induces a robust inflammatory response that is associated with perihematomal edema. In addition, there is an activation of the coagulation cascade, pro-oxidative pathways and matrix metalloproteinases which lead to neuronal cell death and blood-brain barrier dysfunction.

Use of flexible endoscopic aspiration for an intraventricular small floating clot with hemorrhage: a technical note
ConclusionThe use of simple flexible endoscopic aspiration for clots might be a beneficial and less-invasive procedure for acute obstructive hydrocephalus caused by a small clot with hemorrhagic stroke.

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: the Last Decade
AbstractAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) affects six to nine people per 100,000 per year, has a 35% mortality, and leaves many  with lasting disabilities, often related to cognitive dysfunction. Clinical decision rules and more sensitive computed tomography (CT) have made the diagnosis of SAH easier, but physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion. The management of these patients is based on a limited number of ran domized clinical trials (RCTs). Early repair of the ruptured aneurysm by endovascular coiling or neurosurgical clipping is essential, and coiling is superior to clipping in cases amenable to bot...

COVID-19: changing patterns among neurosurgical patients from North India, efficacy of repeat testing, and inpatient prevalence.
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 has changed the pattern of neurosurgical procedures, with acute cases dominating the practice. Despite the fact that the pandemic has not yet reached its peak in India, COVID-19 has been detected 3.7 times more often in asymptomatic neurosurgical inpatients than in the local community, even with single testing. Double testing displays an incremental value by disclosing COVID-19 overall in 1 in 100 inpatients and thus averting its spread through neurosurgical services.

Comparison between stenting and conservative management of posterior circulation perforator aneurysms: Systematic review and case series
ConclusionsThe optimal management strategy of PCPAs is still unknown, but stenting can be considered as an effective occlusion method with an acceptable complication rate. Preventive ventricular drainage may be necessary due to the high hydrocephalus rate encountered in ruptured PCPAs.

Comparison of static and dynamic cerebral autoregulation under anesthesia influence in a controlled animal model
by Alexander Ruesch, Deepshikha Acharya, Samantha Schmitt, Jason Yang, Matthew A. Smith, Jana M. Kainerstorfer The brain’s ability to maintain cerebral blood flow approximately constant despite cerebral perfusion pressure changes is known as cerebral autoregulation (CA) and is governed by vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Cerebral perfusion pressure is defined as the pressure gradient between arterial b lood pressure and intracranial pressure. Measuring CA is a challenging task and has created a variety of evaluation methods, which are often categorized as static and dynamic CA assessments. Because CA is quantified as ...

Higher Plasma Osteopontin Concentrations Associated with Subsequent Development of Chronic Shunt-Dependent Hydrocephalus After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
AbstractA matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) is considered to exert neuroprotective and healing effects on neurovascular injuries in an acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, the relationships between OPN expression and chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (SDHC) have never been investigated. In 166 SAH patients (derivation and validation cohorts, 110 and 56, respectively), plasma OPN levels were serially measured at days1 −3, 4−6, 7−9, and 10−12 after aneurysmal obliteration. The OPN levels and clinical factors were compared between patients with and without subsequent development ...
