Aim: Obesity has emerged as a critical risk factor for various cerebrovascular diseases. Studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of obesity on vascular health, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress, which may exacerbate vascular complications following hemorrhagic stroke. In this study, the effect of obesity on the severity of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage was investigated.

- The study looked at how acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) affects the gastrointestinal (GI) system in patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplants, analyzing biopsy results from 164 patients between 2005 and 2019.
- A total of 479 biopsies were examined, revealing similar levels of GI involvement in both the upper and lower tracts, with the duodenum being the most severely affected area, while the pathology grades generally correlated with clinical assessments.
- The findings suggest that evaluating the distal colon through rectosigmoidoscopy is effective for diagnosing GI GVHD and that pathology grading provides valuable insights into the severity of the condition.
