[Compulsory admissions in psychiatry: comparative analysis between sensitive urban zones and other areas].

Objectives: To compare compulsory and non-compulsory psychiatric hospitalization rates between Sensitive Urban Zones (SUZ) and other areas. An association between Compulsory Admission at the Request of a State Representative (CARSR) and SUZ was then investigated among compulsory admission patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study identified hospitalized patients in a French psychiatric hospital territory from 2012 to 2013.

Stroke Mimics in a Stroke Care Pathway Based on MRI Screening.

Background: Since the use of tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke (IS), stroke care pathways have been developed for patients with suspicion of acute stroke. The aim of this prospective observational study was to analyze the stroke mimic (SM) characteristics in patients who were part of our stroke care pathway.

Methods: All consecutive patients admitted in the code stroke within a 1-year period were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Real-Time Estimation of Core Infarct in Angiography Using Collateral Flow.

Background And Purpose: In order to attribute a diagnostic value to angiographic runs performed before revascularization, we aimed at developing a regional evaluation of leptomeningeal collateral flow that can be used to detect and predict infarction when performing stroke endovascular procedures.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated all consecutive patients treated for occlusions in the anterior circulation in our center between 2009 and 2013, with MRI imaging performed before the endovascular procedure. Two readers performed an evaluation of collateral circulation in 5 cortical regions based on the vascular anatomy.

Balloon protection of the Labbé vein during transarterial embolization of a dural arterio-venous fistula.

Introduction: Endovascular treatment of type III dural arterio-venous fistulas can be challenging if the fistulous point is close to a functionally important cortical vein.

Methods: A technique is described for temporary balloon protection of the vein of Labbé during transarterial Onyx embolization of a type III dural arterio-venous fistula. One illustrative case is presented.

First Case of Human Cerebral Taenia martis Cysticercosis.

Taenia martis is a tapeworm affecting mustelids, with rodents serving as intermediate hosts. The larval stage (cysticercus) has been found before only rarely in humans or primates. We hereby describe a case of cerebral T.
