Lower total protein and absence of neuronavigation are novel poor prognostic factors of endoscopic hematoma removal for intracerebral hemorrhage
Endoscopic hematoma removal is widely performed for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage. We investigated the factors related to the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage after endoscopic hematoma removal.

Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Catheter Evacuation for the Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage
AbstractRecently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A mu...

Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Is Associated with Mortality after Acute Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSION: AF, oral anticoagulant use, brain herniation and male sex increase GI hemorrhage risk, while hyperlipidemia reduces risk. GI hemorrhage itself increases risk for mortality of acute ischemic stroke. The interaction between GI hemorrhage and brain herniation increased the risk for the mortality after acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 30977448 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predicting Dysphagia with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale: Distinction between Infra- and Supratentorial Region is Essential
Conclusions: NIH-SS may be used as an adjunct to predict dysphagia in acute stroke patients with moderate sensitivity and specificity. Differentiation between supra- and infratentorial regions is essential not to miss dysphagia in infratentorial stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:150 –158

Long term follow-up of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas submitted to endoscopic endonasal surgery
Conclusion The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach is a safe and effective technique to control GH-secreting adenomas. The transcavernous approach may increase the risk of complications. Suprasellar and cavernous sinus extensions may preclude gross total resection of these tumors.RESUMO Objetivo O objetivo do estudo é analisar os resultados da cirurgia de ressecção endoscópica transesfenoidal para adenomas secretores do hormônio do crescimento (GH). Métodos Revisão retrospectiva baseada em análise de prontuários de 23 pacientes acromegálicos submetidos à cirurgia endoscópica. Remissão foi definid a por GH< ...

Outcomes of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy and intravenous tissue plasminogen activator for the treatment of vertebrobasilar stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients requiring IV-tPA and/or mechanical thrombectomy for the treatment of posterior-circulation strokes suffer from high mortality rates. Increased age is associated with significantly higher mortality rates among posterior-circulation stroke patients who require mechanical thrombectomy. PMID: 24465258 [PubMed]
