Article Synopsis
- Hematoma expansion (HE) occurs in a significant portion of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), impacting their outcomes; the study focuses on the predictive accuracy of the Black-&-White (B&W) sign in identifying HE.
- In a multicenter cohort from the PREDICT study, the association between the B&W sign and HE was analyzed, revealing that patients with the B&W sign had a higher frequency of HE and more substantial growth of hematomas compared to those without it.
- The B&W sign strongly predicts HE, with an adjusted odds ratio of 7.83 for HE and 5.67 for severe HE, indicating that its presence significantly increases the risk of hematoma expansion.
Introduction Accurate diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and related disorders depends on imaging studies for lesion detection, which is crucial for treatment planning. The 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET imaging system is well-established, with high sensitivity and specificity in identifying myeloma lesions. Additionally, 11C-acetate serves as an effective radiotracer for detecting MM lesions.

PFC (prefrontal cortex) neuronal ensembles are required for drug and food-seeking behaviors and are partially regulated by Norepinephrine (NE). However, the contributions of neuromodulators, such as the adrenergic system, in food-seeking behavior are not fully understood.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of corneal sample cultures from patients with microbial keratitis from January 2010 to December 2019. Results were analyzed according to the etiological diagnosis of bacterial, mycotic, or parasitic infection and were associated with related risk factors.
