How AI Is Changing Medical Imaging to Improve Patient Care
That doctors can peer into the human body without making a single incision once seemed like a miraculous concept. But medical imaging in radiology has come a long way, and the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-driven techniques are going much further: exploiting the massive computing abilities of AI and machine learning to mine body scans for differences that even the human eye can miss. Imaging in medicine now involves sophisticated ways of analyzing every data point to distinguish disease from health and signal from noise. If the first few decades of radiology were about refining the resolution of the pictures taken of...

Association of Changed Serum Brain Biomarkers With Perihematomal Edema and Early Clinical Outcome in Primary ICH Patients
Background: Perihematomal edema (PHE) following primary intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) affects the patient outcome. Also, serum biomarkers such as S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) have been associated with ICHs outcome. We aimed to investigate the association between these biomarkers and PHE in ICH patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with primary ICH between January 2020 and August 2020 were evaluated. All participants underwent spiral brain computed tomography scans upon admission, and 48 to 72 hours later and quantification of initial hem...

Long Covid is a ‘national crisis.’ So why are grants taking so long to get?
Some content has been removed for formatting reasons. Please view the original article for the best reading experience. David Putrino, a neurophysiologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, labored through his holiday last Christmas to write a grant application for urgently needed Long Covid research. With colleagues, he hoped to tap into $1.15 billion in funding that Congress granted the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2020, as Long Covid emerged as a major public health problem. NIH had solicited grant applications in December 2021, just weeks before their January due date. The agency said it pla...

Computed Tomography Images under Artificial Intelligence Algorithms on the Treatment Evaluation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Minimally Invasive Aspiration
Comput Math Methods Med. 2022 Apr 22;2022:6204089. doi: 10.1155/2022/6204089. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of minimally invasive aspiration on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the value of artificial intelligence algorithm combined with computed tomography (CT) image evaluation. Ninety-two patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into experimental group (46 cases, minimally invasive aspiration therapy) and control group (46 cases, traditional craniotomy therapy) according to different treatment methods, and CT image scanning was performed. In addition...

A Prospective Stroke Register in Sierra Leone: Demographics, Stroke Type, Stroke Care and Hospital Outcomes
This study reports the demographics, stroke types, stroke care and hospital outcomes for stroke in Freetown, Sierra Leone.Methods: A prospective observational register recorded all patients 18 years and over with stroke between May 2019 and April 2020. Stroke was defined according to the WHO criteria. Pearson's chi-squared test was used to examine associations between categorical variables and unpaired t-tests for continuous variables. Multivariable logistic regression, to explain in-hospital death, was reported as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals.Results: Three hundred eighty-five strokes were registered, an...

Scalp acupuncture enhances local brain regions functional activities and functional connections between cerebral hemispheres in acute ischemic stroke patients
This study aimed to explore the changes in functional connections between cerebral hemispheres and local brain regions functional activities in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with International Standard Scalp Acupuncture (ISSA). Thirty patients with middle cerebral artery AIS in the dominant hemisphere were selected and randomly divided into two groups such as the control group and the scalp acupuncture group, with 15 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional Western medicine, while patients in the scalp acupuncture group received ISSA (acupuncture at the pariet...

The PROGRAM study: awake mapping versus asleep mapping versus no mapping for high-grade glioma resections: study protocol for an international multicenter prospective three-arm cohort study
This study is an international, multicenter, prospective three-arm cohort study of observational nature. Consecutive HGG patients will be operated with awake mapping, asleep mapping or no mapping with a 1:1:1 ratio. Primary endpoints are: (1) proportion of patients with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale deterioration at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery and (2) residual tumour volume of the contrast-enhancing and non-contrast-enhancing part as assessed by a neuroradiologist on postoperative contrast MRI scans. Secondary endpoints are: (1) overall survival and (2) progression-free survival at 12 months af...

Altered static and dynamic voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity in subacute stroke patients: a resting-state fMRI study
AbstractSixty-four subacute stroke patients and 55 age-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scan using an echo-planar imaging sequence and high-resolution sagittal T1-weighted images using a three-dimensional magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo sequence. Static and dynamic voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) was computed, respectively. The relationships between the clinical measures, including National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), illness duration, Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper and lower extremities (FMA-total) and size of lesion volu...

r-tPA with loading dose of clopidogrel and aspirin therapies for capsular warning syndrome attributed to middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis: A CARE-compliant case report
Rationale: The capsular warning syndrome (CWS) is a rare and special type of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) syndrome. The pathophysiology of CWS is very complicate, and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is rare cause. Moreover, the effective and standard therapy has not yet been established. Patient concerns: A 47-year-old man experienced repeated and exacerbated TIAs of right hemiparesis and dysarthria. Fourteen hours after the first episode of TIAs, he developed more severe right hemiparesis and dysarthria, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 12 points, and did not recover i...

Visinin-like protein-1 level is associated with short-term functional outcome of acute ischemic stroke: A prospective cohort study
Stroke is a serious disease that can lead to disability and death in adults, and the prediction of functional outcome is important in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Blood biomarker is a promising technique, for the measurement is fast, cheap and convenient. Visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1) is a classic stroke biomarker, thus we tried to investigate the predictive value of VILIP-1 for early functional outcomes of AIS. A total of 70 AIS patients were enrolled in our study. Venous blood samples of all patients were taken at day 3 after admission to the stroke unit, and levels of serum VILIP-1 were analyzed by...
