Abstract Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading global cause of mortality and morbidity. Improving long-term outcome predictions after thrombectomy can enhance treatment quality by supporting clinical decision-making. With the advent interpretable deep learning methods in recent years, it now possible to develop trustworthy, high-performing prediction models. This study introduces an uncertainty-aware, graph model that predicts endovascular outcomes using features imaging biomarkers. The...

General guideline recommendations in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include blood pressure-, temperature- and glucose management. The therapeutic effect of such a "care bundle" (blood pressure lowering, glycemic control, treatment pyrexia) on clinical outcomes becomes increasingly established. For the present study, we aimed to investigate associations strict bundled care (BCT) characterize key outcome effectors as hematoma enlargement (HE) peak perihemorrhagic edema (PHE).

Malignant gliomas can be counted to the most devastating tumors in humans. Novel therapies do not achieve significant prolonged survival rates. The cancer cells have an impact on surrounding vital tissue and form tumor zones, which make up microenvironment. We investigated effects of sunitinib, a small molecule multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, constituents microenvironment such as gliomas, astrocytes, endothelial cells, neurons. Sunitinib has known anti-angiogenic effect....

Several automated computed tomography perfusion software applications have been developed to provide support in the definition of ischemic core and penumbra acute stroke. However, degree interchangeability between packages is not yet clear. Our study aimed evaluate 2 commonly used (Syngo.via RAPID) for indication with respect follow-up infarct volume (FIV) after successful recanalization consideration clinical impact.Retrospectively, 154 patients large vessel occlusion middle cerebral artery...

Primary brain tumors are hallmarked for their destructive activity on the microenvironment and vasculature. However, solely few experimental techniques exist to access tumor under anatomical intact conditions with remaining cellular extracellular composition. Here, we detail an ex vivo vascular glioma impact method (VOGIM) investigate influence of gliomas chemotherapeutics angiogenesis that closely resemble in situation. We generated organotypic slice cultures from rats transgenic mice...

Objective Hematoma expansion (HE) is the most important therapeutic target during acute care of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Imaging biomarkers such as non-contrast CT (NCCT) markers have been associated increasing risk for HE. The aim present study was to evaluate influence NCCT functional long-term outcome and HE in deep (basal ganglia thalamus) ICH who represent an subgroup at highest deterioration due eloquence affected brain region. Methods From our prospective...

Hippocampal-sparing radiotherapy (HSR) is a promising approach to alleviate cognitive side effects following cranial radiotherapy. Microstructural brain changes after irradiation have been demonstrated using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). However, evidence conflicting for certain parameters and anatomic structures. This study examines the of radiation on white matter hippocampal microstructure DTI evaluates whether these may be mitigated HSR. A total 35 tumor patients undergoing prospective...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is known to be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and may caused by MS lesions in specific cerebral brain regions. Applying a voxel-wise lesion analysis, we tried identify the contribution of RLS.In this retrospective study, established cohort people documented RLS controls without matched disease severity. Diagnosis was based on current guidelines. The were analyzed T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans (1.5 or 3 T). After manual delineation, maps...
