An analysis of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratios with six-month prognosis after cerebral contusions.

Background And Purpose: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) have been identified as potential prognostic markers in various conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. This study aims to investigate the dynamic changes of NLR and MLR following cerebral contusion and their associations with six-month outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected from January 2016 to April 2020, including patients diagnosed with cerebral contusion and discharged from two teaching-oriented tertiary hospitals in Southern China.

A dynamic nomogram for predicting intraoperative brain bulge during decompressive craniectomy in patients with traumatic brain injury: a retrospective study.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate the risk factors associated with intraoperative brain bulge (IOBB), especially the computed tomography (CT) value of the diseased lateral transverse sinus, and to develop a reliable predictive model to alert neurosurgeons to the possibility of IOBB.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 937 patients undergoing traumatic decompressive craniectomy. A total of 644 patients from Fuzong Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University were included in the development cohort, and 293 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College were included in the external validation cohort.

A dynamic online nomogram for predicting death in hospital after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Background: This study aimed to validate the efficacy the multiplication of neutrophils and monocytes (MNM) and a novel dynamic nomogram for predicting in-hospital death in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Methods: Retrospective study was done on 986 patients with endovascular coiling for aSAH. Independent risk factors associated with in-hospital death were identified using both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Low serum calcium is a novel predictor of unfavorable prognosis after traumatic brain injury.

Background: Accurate and convenient serological markers for prognosis after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are still lacking. We aimed to explore the predictive value of serum calcium for prognosing outcomes within 6 months after TBI.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, 1255 and 719 patients were included in development and validation cohorts, respectively, and their 6-month prognoses were recorded.

A dynamic nomogram for predicting unfavorable prognosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the predictive value of the multiplication of neutrophil and monocyte counts (MNM) in peripheral blood, and develop a new predictive model for the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis that included 2 separate cohorts of patients undergoing endovascular coiling for aSAH. The training cohort consisted of 687 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College; the validation cohort consisted of 299 patients from Sun Yat-sen University's Affiliated Jieyang People's Hospital.

A Clinical Predictive Nomogram for Traumatic Brain Parenchyma Hematoma Progression.

Introduction: Acute traumatic intraparenchymal hematoma (tICH) expansion is a major cause of clinical deterioration after brain contusion. Here, an accurate prediction tool for acute tICH expansion is proposed.

Methods: A multicenter hospital-based study for multivariable prediction model was conducted among patients (889 patients in a development dataset and 264 individuals in an external validation dataset) with initial and follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging for tICH volume evaluation.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predicts early growth of traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage.

Objective: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed to capture the inflammatory status of patients with various conditions involving the brain. This retrospective study aimed to explore the association between the NLR and the early growth of traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (tICH) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: A multicentre, observational cohort study was conducted.

Malignant pheochromocytoma with cerebral and skull metastasis: A case report and literature review.

Background: Malignant pheochromocytoma with cerebral and skull metastasis is a very rare disease. Combining our case with 16 previously reported cases identified from a PubMed search, an analysis of 17 cases of malignant cerebral pheochromocytoma was conducted. This literature review aimed to provide information on clinical manifestations, radiographic and histopathological features, and treatment strategies of this condition.

Development and external validation of a novel multihematoma fuzzy sign on computed tomography for predicting traumatic intraparenchymal hematoma expansion.

Acute traumatic intraparenchymal hematoma (tICH) expansion is a devastating neurological complication that is associated with poor outcome after cerebral contusion. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel noncontrast computed tomography (CT) (NCCT) multihematoma fuzzy sign to predict acute tICH expansion. In this multicenter, prospective cohort study, multihematoma fuzzy signs on baseline CT were found in 212 (43.

The Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio at Hospital Admission Is a Novel Predictor for Acute Traumatic Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage Expansion after Cerebral Contusion.

Purpose: To explore the potential of monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) at hospital admission for predicting acute traumatic intraparenchymal hematoma (tICH) expansion in patients with cerebral contusion. . This multicenter, observational study included patients with available at-hospital admission (baseline) and follow-up computed tomography for volumetric analysis (retrospective development cohort: 1146 patients; prospective validation cohort: 207 patients).
