Prediction of Bone Marrow Biopsy Results From MRI in Multiple Myeloma Patients Using Deep Learning and Radiomics.

Objectives: In multiple myeloma and its precursor stages, plasma cell infiltration (PCI) and cytogenetic aberrations are important for staging, risk stratification, and response assessment. However, invasive bone marrow (BM) biopsies cannot be performed frequently and multifocally to assess the spatially heterogenous tumor tissue. Therefore, the goal of this study was to establish an automated framework to predict local BM biopsy results from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Contrast Neurotoxicity and its Association with Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage After Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Purpose: Despite improved techniques and sophisticated postinterventional care, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) remains the most feared complication of mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Based on peri-interventional parameters, we aimed to discover which patients have a higher risk of sICH.

Methods: From March 2017 until March 2020 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and confirmed large-vessel occlusion who underwent MT were analyzed retrospectively.

Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in COVID-19 patients: multicenter experience in 111 cases.

Background: Data on the frequency and outcome of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients with COVID-19 is limited. Addressing this subject, we report our multicenter experience.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed of consecutive acute stroke patients with COVID-19 infection treated with MT at 26 tertiary care centers between January 2020 and November 2021.

Ischemic stroke secondary to self-inflicted carotid sinus massage: a case report.

Background: The risk of stroke after carotid sinus massage is greater if there is preexisting carotid stenosis or carotid plaques. We present the case of a patient with underlying 40% carotid stenosis, who developed a watershed stroke after a self-neck massage in our stroke unit. We show a well-documented case with magnetic resonance images before and after the neck massage.

Characteristics and Unexpected COVID-19 Diagnoses in Resuscitation Room Patients during the COVID-19 Outbreak-A Retrospective Case Series.

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) triage regarding infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is challenging. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Germany, the diagnostic outcomes of critically ill patients admitted to the resuscitation room in the ED of our academic 754-bed hospital should be analyzed.

Methods: All resuscitation room patients between March 1st and April 15th 2020 were included in this retrospective study.
