The study aimed to analyse the association between the digit ratio in adult women and the degree of air pollution (suspended particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitric dioxide, benzene levels) in the place of residence of their mothers during pregnancy. The data was collected from female students in several Polish cities. Measurements were taken, and questionnaire data were collected.

In this study, the authors aimed to analyze factors associated with headaches among patients with intracranial aneurysms, with special consideration of hemodynamic parameters.
Methods: The authors prospectively included 96 patients with 122 unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Aim: Hypertension is a risk factor for intracranial aneurysm rupture. We analyzed whether the intake of drugs from specific classes of anti-hypertensive medications affects hemodynamic parameters of intracranial aneurysm dome.
Methods And Results: We recorded medical history including medications and the in-hospital blood pressure values.
Purpose: To measure changes in quantitative tortuosity descriptors of the internal carotid artery (ICA) after intracranial aneurysm embolization, and to determine possible factors associated with changes in tortuosity.
Materials And Methods: An analysis of 52 patients with embolized intracranial aneurysms was performed. ICA tortuosity was assessed by digital subtraction angiograms obtained prior to the embolization and after the first follow-up examination.
Purpose: Intracerebral hemorrhage is the deadliest form of stroke. This study aimed to enhance the prediction of 30-day mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage patients by integrating computational parameters.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 435 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
