Association of Prior Antithrombotic Drug Use with 90-Day Mortality After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Purpose: To estimate the strength of association between use of antithrombotics (AT) drugs with survival after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (s-ICH) comparing oral anticoagulant (OAC) or platelet antiaggregants (PA) with no AT use and in active comparator analyses OAC vs PA, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA), and clopidogrel vs aspirin.

Patients And Methods: We identified patients ≥55 years with a first-ever s-ICH between 2015 and 2018 in Southern Denmark (population 1.2 million).

Artificial intelligence for MRI stroke detection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the stroke detection performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and additionally to identify reporting insufficiencies.

Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed. MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, and IEEE Xplore were searched for studies utilising MRI and AI for stroke detection.

Major Cardiovascular Events After Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Hematoma Location.

Importance: Survivors of spontaneous (ie, nontraumatic and with no known structural cause) intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have an increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACEs), including recurrent ICH, ischemic stroke (IS), and myocardial infarction (MI). Only limited data are available from large, unselected population studies assessing the risk of MACEs according to index hematoma location.

Objective: To examine the risk of MACEs (ie, the composite of ICH, IS, spontaneous intracranial extra-axial hemorrhage, MI, systemic embolism, or vascular death) after ICH based on ICH location (lobar vs nonlobar).

Association Between Statin Use and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Location: A Nested Case-Control Registry Study.

Background And Objectives: A causal relationship between statin use and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is uncertain. We hypothesized that an association between long-term statin exposure and ICH risk might vary for different ICH locations.

Methods: We conducted this analysis using linked Danish nationwide registries.

[Amphetamine-induced toxic encephalopathy].

In this case report, a 40-year-old woman presented with altered mentation, central facial palsy and hemiparesis. Acute CT scan showed several hypodense, rounded areas in both hemispheres. Urine toxicology tested positive for amphetamine.

Multiple Focal Brown Tumors (Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica) in a Renal Transplant Recipient.

Brown tumors (BTs) are manifestations of osteitis fibrosa cystica that develops due to increased osteoclast activity secondary to hyperparathyroidism (HPTH). The name comes from its characteristic brown color due to high hemosiderin level and hemorrhage surrounded by osteoclastic giant cells, fibrous tissue, and bone fragments. Presentation can be either unifocal or rarely multifocal.
