Glioblastoma: Overview and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Analysis for Treatment.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a very aggressive and fast-growing cancer of the brain that has a low life expectancy. Many new cases are diagnosed every year with each having a very poor prognosis. It is therefore of utmost concern to develop cures for such a devastating condition.

Concussion May Result in New-Onset Bipolar Disorder: A Case Report.

Emotional dysregulation following a concussion is well established. New onset of major psychiatric diseases such as bipolar disorder (BPD) post-concussion has not been investigated. BPD typically presents with an initial depressive episode followed by mania and concurrent depressive and manic states.

The hemorrhagic transformation index score: a prediction tool in middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke.

Background: We aimed to develop a tool, the hemorrhagic transformation (HT) index (HTI), to predict any HT within 14 days after middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke onset regardless of the intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rtPA) use. That is especially important in the light of missing evidence-based data concerning the timing of anticoagulant resumption after stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 783 consecutive MCA stroke patients.
