Background Accurate prediction of functional outcomes is crucial in stroke management, but this remains challenging. Objective To evaluate the performance generative language model ChatGPT predicting outcome patients with acute ischemic (AIS) 3 months after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) order to assess whether can used be accurately predict modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at post-thrombectomy. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis clinical, neuroimaging, and procedure-related data...
Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is used in treatment advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) with well-established benefits over motor complications. However, few studies addressing impact DBS on nonmotor dimensions such as sexual function have been conducted. This study aims to determine effect DBS-STN activity patients PD and establish predictive factors for decline after surgery. Materials Methods: Twenty-one submitted were compared 19 eligible surgery...
Abstract Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) alters the natural course of severe stenosis (AS). In this study, we aimed to determine effects disease on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and vasoreactivity (VR) assess their changes after SAVR. We recruited 23 patients diagnosed with AS eligible for SAVR 15 healthy matched controls. had lower mean VR CO 2 ( P = 0.005) than controls, but was preserved. Cerebral haemodynamics showed no significant change Patients smaller baseline areas...
Non-motor symptoms are underrecognized features of Parkinson's disease that impair quality life and increase mortality. In this study, we aim to translate, adapt validate the European Portuguese version "Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire", which has proven be a valid reliable measurement tool non-motor in other languages.Acceptability was evaluated regarding range values, ceiling floor effects. Reliability measured terms internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) reproducibility (intra-class...

 Arterial dissection is an uncommon complication of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). We describe the case a 35-year-old woman with migraine history who presented recurrent thunderclap headache and focal neurological signs, including right hemiataxia. She had been diagnosed COVID-19 disease two weeks earlier. Neuroimaging revealed multifocal stenosis posterior circulation arteries superior cerebellar artery. improved significantly throughout her one-week...
Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is a predictor of short- and long-term disability in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Its effect on more immediate functional outcomes has been seldom studied, the results are inconsistent. We aimed to determine role BPV during first 5 days hospitalization status at time discharge AIS.Methods: enrolled 134 diagnosed AIS using standard deviation coefficient variation (CV %). These were associated dichotomized modified Rankin Scale...
