Introduction: Traumatic memories (TM) are a core feature of stress-related disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Treatment is often difficult, and specific pharmacological interventions are lacking. We present a novel non-pharmacological intervention called motor interference therapy (MIT) as a promising alternative for these symptoms.

- Hypoplasia of the transverse sinus (TS) is a common anatomical variation, and this study investigates its potential link to venous thrombosis, specifically whether it predisposes individuals to ipsilateral thrombosis.
- The researchers analyzed 20 cases with isolated TS thrombosis and compared them to 43 matched controls, using CT and MR venography to diagnose TS conditions and performing statistical analyses.
- Results showed a significant association between TS hypoplasia and thrombosis, indicating that individuals with hypoplastic TS were more likely to experience thrombosis, though this did not affect their functional outcomes after 30 or 90 days.*
Purpose: We sought to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes and identify the potential risk factors for rebleeding in patients with brain stem cavernous malformations (BCMs) who presented with hemorrhages and were surgically or conservatively treated and prospectively monitored.
Methods: From January 1990 to July 2015, we included patients with first hemorrhagic episodes secondary to single BCMs. Modified Rankin score (mRS) was used for neurological status assessment.
Intracranial aneurysms uncommonly present with ischemic stroke. Parent artery occlusion due to local extension of the luminal thrombus, aneurysms ejecting emboli to distal arteries, or increased mass effect have been described as possible pathogenic mechanisms. Guidelines for the management of these patients are absent.
