Background: Virtual simulation is increasingly used for aneurysm treatment. This study aimed to explore whether mechanical behavior biomarkers of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device as computed by Sim&Size simulation software were associated with aneurysmal occlusion status at follow-up.
Methods: Consecutive patients with aneurysms treated with WEB were retrospectively enrolled (January 2014 to December 2021).
Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is linked to chronic headaches driven by high intracranial pressure (ICP) and potentially influenced by cerebral venous sinus pressure, which needs more research to understand their relationship.
- A study investigated 52 patients suspected of having IIH, measuring both lumbar puncture opening pressure (LPOP) and cerebral venous sinus pressure, finding strong correlations between these measurements.
- Results confirmed that the torcular pressure aligns closely with LPOP, indicating that these two methods are consistent for assessing ICP in IIH patients, which can help in clinical decision-making.
Background: Radiological follow-up of diffuse low-grade gliomas (LGGs) growth is challenging. Approximative visual assessment still predominates over objective quantification due to the complexity of the pathology. The infiltrating character, diffuse borders and presence of surgical cavities demand LGG-based linear measurement rules to efficiently and precisely assess LGG evolution over time.

Methods: Over the last 10 years, 300 patients received a definite SIH diagnosis at our stroke center.
Impact of multidomain preventive strategies on functional brain connectivity in older adults with cognitive complaint: Subset from the Montpellier center of the ancillary MAPT-MRI study.
Front Aging Neurosci

Introduction: The impact of multi-domain preventive interventions on older adults, in particular on those with higher risk to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD), could be beneficial, as it may delay cognitive decline. However, the precise mechanism of such positive impact is not fully understood and may involve brain reserve and adaptability of brain functional connectivity (FC).
Methods: To determine the effect of multidomain interventions (involving physical activity, cognitive training, nutritional counseling alone or in combination with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and vs.
