Combination of multi-modal MRI radiomics and liquid biopsy technique for preoperatively non-invasive diagnosis of glioma based on deep learning: protocol for a double-center, ambispective, diagnostical observational study.

Background: 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor classification increasingly emphasizes the important role of molecular markers in glioma diagnoses. Preoperatively non-invasive "integrated diagnosis" will bring great benefits to the treatment and prognosis of these patients with special tumor locations that cannot receive craniotomy or needle biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics and liquid biopsy (LB) have great potential for non-invasive diagnosis of molecular markers and grading since they are both easy to perform.

Effect of Surgical Clipping versus Endovascular Coiling on the Incidence of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Multicenter Observational Cohort Study with Propensity Score Matching.

Objective: The effect of surgical clipping (SC) and endovascular coiling (EC) on the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has always been a controversial topic. Hence, it is necessary to reanalyze the effects of the 2 surgical methods on DCI, which determines the choice of the most favorable method for patients who are suitable for both surgical modalities.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective observational cohort study was performed to evaluate all consecutive patients with aSAH admitted to 5 medical centers in China between April 2019 and June 2021.
