Aim: In early-stage breast cancer, the axillary lymph nodes play a crucial role in determining the prognosis of the disease. The rate of lymph node involvement might be a more valuable prognostic factor than the number of positive lymph nodes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether the lymph node ratio (LNR) is a superior prognostic indicator compared to the pathologic lymph node count in early-stage disease.

On the other side, there is a non-negligible portion of small ruptured IA and large stable UIA. This study aimed to identify the patients' characteristics related to IA size in the context of IA rupture status.

We aimed to analyze the incidence, risk factors and clinical impact of ACS in aSAH patients. This retrospective analysis included 855 aSAH cases treated between 01/2003 and 06/2016.

Methods: Data from 2 university hospitals were pooled (n = 1070), with cohorts for score construction (n = 886) and external validation (n = 184).
Objective: Despite recent advances in neuro-intensive care, there is still considerable mortality in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this long-term monocentric observational cohort study, we aimed to analyze the rates, timing, and predictors of mortality after SAH.
Methods: All consecutive SAH cases treated between January 2003 and June 2016 were included.
