Stereotactic hematoma puncture and drainage for primary pontine hemorrhage: Clinical outcomes and predictive model.

Primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) is a particularly grave form of hemorrhagic stroke, characterized by its significant mortality rate. stereotactic hematoma puncture and drainage is a procedure that has been shown to improve the prognosis of patients with PPH. However, there are currently no established criteria for selecting patients for this procedure.

A nomogram risk prediction model for poor outcome of primary brainstem hemorrhage based on clinical data and radiographic features.

Objective: Primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBSH) is a devastating acute neurological disorder with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with poor outcomes in PBSH patients and develop a novel nomogram for predicting prognosis, with external validation.

Methods: A total of 379 patients with PBSH were included in the training cohort.

A retrospective study to examine the association of different pear-shaped balloons with efficacy and postoperative complications in percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia.

Percutaneous balloon compression is a safe and effective therapeutic modality for trigeminal neuralgia. It is widely recognized that the pear-shaped balloon is the key to the success of the procedure. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different pear-shaped balloons on the duration of the treatment outcome.

Up-regulation of circular RNA hsa_circ_01844 induces apoptosis and suppresses proliferation and migration of glioblastoma cells.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that various circular RNAs are involved in the malignant proliferation of cancers, such as liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and others. The potential role of circular RNAs in glioblastoma, however, is still uncertain. In this study, we aimed to study the potential role of hsa_circ_01844 in glioblastoma.

Using computerized tomography perfusion to measure cerebral hemodynamics following treatment of traumatic brain injury in rabbits.

The present study aimed to investigate the use of computerized tomography (CT) perfusion for evaluating cerebral hemodynamics following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rabbits. The animals were randomly assigned into four groups (n=10 animals/group): i) Control, ii) TBI, iii) TBI common decompression and iv) TBI controlled decompression groups. A TBI model was established in rabbits using epidural balloon inflation.

Changes in cerebral hemodynamics in patients with posttraumatic diffuse brain swelling after external intraventricular drainage.

Purpose: To investigate the changes of cerebral hemodynamics pre- and post-ventricular drainage in patients with posttraumatic acute diffuse brain swelling.

Methods: Twenty-four cases of traumatic diffuse brain swelling were analyzed retrospectively. Patients in nonsurgical group were treated by medicine therapy.

Surgical management of traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematoma.

Aim: To review our experience in the surgical treatment of TISH, and to analyze prognostic factors.

Material And Methods: Clinical and imaging data, surgical modalities, and outcomes of 21 patients with TISH who were treated with microsurgery were analyzed retrospectively. Prognostic factors for outcome were analyzed by univariate analysis.

Controlled decompression for the treatment of severe head injury: a preliminary study.

Aim: Fast direct decompression surgery for treatment of severe head injury often results in intraoperative and postoperative complications. Controlled decompression may help prevent these complications. This preliminary study aims to compare the effects of controlled and conventional decompression in patients with severe head injury.

Missed injury in patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by multiple trauma.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate retrospectively the multiple injuries prone to be missed in 432 cases.

Material And Methods: The cases were divided into two groups, i.e.

Endoscopy-assisted cerebral falx incision via unilateral approach in treatment of dissymmetric bilateral frontal contusion.

Background: Dissymmetric bilateral frontal contusion (DBFC) is relatively frequent in the clinic. In this study, we aimed to investigate the development tendency, clinical features, and treatment experience of DBFC and to summarize out experience in treating these patients via minimally invasive means-endoscopy.

Methods: Over the past 3 years, we have treated a total of 31 patients with DBFC using endoscopy-assisted unilateral cerebral falx incision.

Endoscopy-assisted cerebral falx incision via unilateral approach for treatment of dissymmetric bilateral frontal contusion.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and treatment strategy of dissymmetric bilateral frontal contusion, and to summarize our experience in treating these patients by minimally invasive surgery.

Methods: Over the past 3 years, we have treated a total of 31 patients with dissymmetric bilateral frontal contusion using endoscopy-assisted unilateral cerebral falx incision. Other 30 patients treated by routine bilateral approaches within the same period were taken as control.

Intracranial pressure monitoring for special patterns of frontal lobe contusions.

Objective: To study the effect and indications of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for frontal lobe contusion patients.

Methods: During January 2005-December 2008, 34 cases of frontal lobe contusion received ICP monitoring in our department (monitoring group). Different treatment protocols were adopted according to the results of ICP.

Clinical experience of the management for the most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the therapeutic experience of 24 patients of traumatic head injuries with GCS score of 3. METHODS: Twenty-four most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3 who were admitted to our department from Jan 1995 to Mar 1998 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Twelve cases (50.
