Background and Purpose- The ability to model long-term functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke represents a major clinical challenge. One approach to potentially improve prediction modeling involves the analysis of connectomics. The field of connectomics represents the brain's connectivity as a graph, whose topological properties have helped uncover underlying mechanisms of brain function in health and disease.

Objective: To characterize isolated upper extremity (UE) weakness from stroke.
Methods: In our Get with the Guidelines-Stroke dataset (n = 7643), 87 patients (1.14%) had isolated UE weakness and underwent thorough stroke evaluation with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and good-quality arterial imaging.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the efficacy of high-flow oxygen in treating migraines by comparing it to medical air in a randomized, controlled setup.
- The trial involved 22 participants who reported on pain, nausea, and visual symptoms after using either oxygen or air during migraine attacks.
- Results indicated that oxygen provided better relief for pain, nausea, and visual symptoms, especially in moderately severe attacks, suggesting it might be a safe and cost-effective treatment option for acute migraines.
