PURPOSE Genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA) provides pathogenic variant (PV) carriers with the invaluable opportunity to undertake timely risk-reducing (RR) measures and initiate cascade testing (CT). This study describes uptake of these strategies related barriers among breast cancer–associated germline PV in Mexico. METHODS Carriers who were at least 6 months after disclosure genetic test results two GCRA referral centers invited answer a survey assessing sociodemographic...
Background and ObjectivesEvidence of the so-called “obesity paradox,” which refers to protective effect survival benefit obesity in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), remains controversial. This study aims determine association between body mass index (BMI) functional outcomes ICH whether it is modified by race/ethnicity.MethodsIncluded individuals were derived from Ethnic/Racial Variations Intracerebral Hemorrhage study, prospectively recruited 1,000 non-Hispanic...
There are limited data on dosimetric predictors of radiation-induced changes (RICs) for brainstem metastases or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) following single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). We examined a multi-institutional cohort patients with AVMs treated SRS. evaluated RICs graded per CTCAE(Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events), including D5%, D95%, D0.03 cc, and D0.5 cc (brainstem minus lesion). Univariate logistic regressions were initially performed independent...
INTRODUCTION: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in 30-50% of patients with intracerebral (ICH) and may be associated acute hydrocephalus. A subset require external ventricular drainage cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) subsequent permanent shunting. METHODS: Prospectively collected data from the Ethnic/Racial Variations Intracerebral Hemorrhage study was analyzed. Predictors CSF shunting were assessed using univariable stepwise backward logistic regression models. Patients dichotomized based...
Abstract Background Metformin is widely prescribed and has neuroprotective effects in animals, but its impact on brain injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) humans unclear. Methods This single-center retrospective review assessed patients with aSAH from 2009 to 2023, categorizing them based pre-admission metformin use. The primary outcome was delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), while secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, rebleeding, angiographic vasospasm (CVS),...
Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence tends to be higher among minority racial ethnic groups. The effect of race ethnicity following an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains poorly understood. Thus, we aimed explore the association between aSAH outcomes.
Abstract Introduction The addition of taxanes to anthracycline-based chemotherapy is considered standard care in the treatment breast cancer. However, there are insufficient data regarding safety during pregnancy. aim this study was describe incidence obstetric and neonatal adverse events associated with use taxane-containing regimens for cancer Methods This a multicenter, international cohort patients treated A descriptive analysis undertaken synthetize available data. Results total 103...
OBJECTIVE Borden-Shucart type I dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) lack cortical venous drainage and occasionally necessitate intervention depending on patient symptoms. Conversion is the rare transformation of a low-grade dAVF to higher grade. Factors associated with increased risk conversion grade are poorly understood. The authors hypothesized that partial treatment dAVFs an independent factor for conversion. METHODS multicenter Consortium Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes Research...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Infratentorial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) harbor different characteristics compared with supratentorial AVMs. This study aims to explore the unique of pediatric infratentorial AVMs and their response single session stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). METHODS: The International Radiosurgery Research Foundation database patients AVM (age <18 years) who underwent SRS was retrospectively reviewed. Baseline demographics, characteristics, outcomes, complications...

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with neoadjuvant embolization is a treatment strategy for brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), especially those large nidal volume or concomitant aneurysms. The aim of this study was to assess the effects pre-SRS in AVMs an associated intracranial aneurysm (IA).
Although chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) incidence has increased, there is limited evidence to guide patient management after surgical evacuation.To identify predictors of reoperation and functional outcome CSDH evacuation.We identified all patients with between 2010 2018. Clinical radiographic variables were collected from the medical records. Outcomes included within 90 days poor (3-6) modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months.We 461 surgically treated cases (396 patients). The mean age was...
Tools predicting intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) treatment outcomes remain scarce. This study aimed to use a multicenter database comprising more than 1000 dAVFs develop practical scoring system that predicts outcomes.
In a recent article titled, "COVID-19 vaccine uptake and hesitancy in Indian patients with cancer: A questionnaire-based survey," Noronha et al.[1] demonstrated high rate (59%) toward COVID-19 vaccination among oncologic Mumbai. This finding is consistent studies conducted other regions,[23] demonstrating that persists as critical impediment to prevent severe cancer patients. Notably, the acceptance reported by Solís Arce al.[4] general population India (84%) presents stark contrast....
Background The increasing prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a matter concern as it contributes significantly to patients' morbidity and mortality. Data regarding the optimal anticoagulation regimen for VTE prevention treatment remain scarce. This study describes characteristics, treatment, outcomes COVID-19 treated in single academic center Mexico. Methods We conducted retrospective all positive PCR test SARS-CoV-2...
