This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the complications, effectiveness, and safety of neuroendoscopic surgery (NS) assisted by 3DSlicer software, compared to traditional surgery in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (IH).

During a cerebrovascular procedure, diligent care is made to ensure no air is present in lines and connectors. Should air enter the cerebral vasculature, cerebral air emboli can cause worsening neurological outcome or death. This communication outlines how a process change of refrigerating mixed heparin for storage lead to the presence of unintentional air, or off-gassing of the fluid.

Stroke patients with large vessel occlusions risk long-term or permanent sickness absence. We aimed to analyze the proportions and days of sickness absence and disability pension in thrombectomy-treated patients.

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a complication of oral anticoagulation and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical need exists for biomarkers to measure anticoagulation in patients with factor Xa inhibitor-associated ICH to assess the hemostatic effect of reversal agents. This study explored the utility of thromboelastography (TEG) to assess anticoagulation in emergency department (ED) patients who received activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) reversal for factor Xa-inhibitor-associated ICH.

High D-dimer levels may increase the likelihood of unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the impacts of serum D-dimer levels on outcomes of reperfusion treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke have not been evaluated. This study aims to assess a possible relationship between serum D-dimer and functional outcomes in stroke patients with endovascular treatment (EVT).

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a vision-devastating emergency. However, widely-acknowledged treatment consensus is lacking and prehospital delays commonly occur. Hence, we aimed to investigate the visual outcomes of conservative treatments (CT), local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for non-arteritic CRAO (NA-CRAO) patients beyond the conventional time window.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is thought to be benign by nature, but a proportion of patients still suffer from neurological deficits on follow-up.

Stroke is a leading cause of death in Vietnam. However, a comprehensive analysis of stroke burden remains limited. This study aims to investigate the burden of stroke and various risk factors in Vietnam from 1990 to 2021.

Obesity, especially visceral obesity, is a controllable risk factor associated with the incidence of stroke. The body roundness index (BRI) bridges the gap between traditional anthropometric methods of assessing fat distribution to predict the percentage of body fat and visceral adipose tissue, which can be used to decipher its population-based characteristics and potential association with stroke.

Epidemiological and genetic studies have elucidated the effect of antihypertensive medication (AHM) on stroke subtypes varying upon drug classes, but which drug target genes, how, and where mediated this association remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the impact of AHM on stroke subtypes.

Recent studies suggested that the medical control of atherogenic lipoproteins is not sufficient for stroke prevention. A low apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) level may play a crucial role in the anti-atherogenic effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and may also be associated with symptomatic vulnerable plaques in carotid artery stenosis. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between apoA-I levels and the status of carotid artery stenosis.

The causal relationships between gut microbiota, blood metabolites, and stroke and its subtypes remain unclear. This study aims to uncover the causal associations using Mendelian randomization.

This study aims to explore the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and stroke and all-cause mortality, and compare whether it has an advantage over Life's Simple 7 (LS7).

Intravenous alteplase (ALT) is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, recent trials comparing other tissue plasminogen activators (tPAs) like tenecteplase (TNK) and reteplase with ALT have yielded conflicting results. This necessitated a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of various tPAs in AIS patients.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD), focusing on its key imaging markers.

Previous observational studies have generated controversy regarding the correlation between serum uric acid (UA) levels and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), with the causal relationship remaining uncertain. To assess the potential causal relationship between serum UA levels and ICH, two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was applied.

Knowledge of the trajectory of post-stroke depression is important to identify high-risk patients, develop precise management programs and enhance prognosis. We aimed to characterise the course of depressive symptoms within the first year post-stroke and to evaluate associations with time.

Previous observational studies have suggested a potential association between heart rate variability (HRV) and cerebrovascular disease. However, a causal relationship between the two has not yet been established.
