The subject of this study is intraoperative hypotension during the evacuation of acute subdural haematoma (ASH). We examined the association between the decrease in intraoperative blood pressure (BP) after the induction of anaesthesia and the decrease in BP after opening the dura mater. The second aim of this study was to assess the relationship between preoperative hypertension and the emergence of an intraoperative drop in BP.

- Human prion diseases are unusual brain illnesses that can spread and cause quick changes in memory and thinking.
- The study looked at a specific type called sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), examining data from over 3,700 cases to understand how long the disease lasts and at what age it starts.
- Researchers found important genetic clues on chromosome 20 that can help understand how long people live with this disease, especially one specific genetic change that seems to have a big effect on survival time.
Background: Perry disease (or Perry syndrome [PS]) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder inevitably leading to death within few years from onset. All previous cases with pathological confirmation were caused by mutations within the cytoskeleton-associated protein glycine-rich (CAP-Gly) domain of the gene.
Objectives: This paper presents the first clinicopathological report of PS due to a novel mutation outside the CAP-Gly domain.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates different hantaviruses found in small mammals like shrews and moles in Poland, including Boginia virus, Seewis virus, and Nova virus.
- Researchers analyzed lung tissue samples from a large number of shrews and moles collected over several years to identify hantavirus RNA using advanced techniques.
- The findings revealed distinct lineages of hantaviruses based on geographic regions and support the idea that these viruses have adapted specifically to their host species.
