Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the link between seizures after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and mortality rates in ICH patients.
- The analysis included 13 studies with over 245,000 participants and found that post-ICH seizures did not significantly increase the risk of death compared to those without seizures.
- Despite these findings, the results were inconsistent in subgroup analyses and may be affected by other influencing factors, indicating a need for further high-quality research.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a meta-analysis by reviewing five relevant studies, including 46,186 patients, and found that higher case volumes significantly correlated with lower in-hospital mortality rates.
- * The analysis demonstrated a strong inverse relationship (OR, 0.53), suggesting that hospitals treating more SAH cases each year tend to have better outcomes in terms of patient survival during hospitalization.
Objective: Protofibrils of alpha-synuclein mediate neuronal cell death and propagate Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we investigated the relationship between the rs3822086 C>T polymorphism located in the fourth intron of the alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene and susceptibility to PD in a Chinese Han population.
Methods: 146 PD patients and 144 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals (control group) were selected for this study.
Background & Purpose: Malignant middle cerebral artery infarctions (mMCAI) are one of the most devastating ischemic strokes, with up to 80% mortality in non-surgically treated patients. With the publication of three European randomized controlled trials (RCTs), decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) was recommended in patients with mMCAI who are aged ≤ 60 years. Recently, three other RCTs enrolling patients aged > 60 years were published; thus, it is necessary to update the previous meta-analysis to re-evaluate the effects of DHC in mMCAI.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of urinary AD7c-NTP for the diagnosis of AD in patients with suspected AD.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE (January 1950 to date) and other electronic databases (from inception to date) for diagnostic accuracy studies that compared urinary AD7c-NTP to the standard clinical diagnosis of AD.
Serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) has been reported to have high diagnosis accuracy for differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from ischemic stroke (IS) in patients within acute phase of stroke symptom onset. Our purpose was to perform a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis to evaluate the valuation of serum GFAP in the early identification of ICH and IS. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and other electronic databases for diagnostic accuracy studies that compared serum GFAP with standard clinical diagnosis of ICH and IS in patients with symptoms of acute stroke.

DSSCs are assembled by single-layer and double-layer films of photoanodes and their electron transfer performance is compared. TiO2 nanoparticles were fabricated by the sol-gel method, and AOTnts were grown on titanium foil.

Objective: To observe the effect and mechanism of clausenamide on the expression of Bcl-2 and apoptosis after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in renovascular hypertensive rats.
Methods: Seventy-five renovascular hypertensive rats were randomly divided into three groups (25 in each group): clausenamide intervention group, single ischemia/reperfusion model group and sham-operated group. Focal cerebral ischemia was reproduced by ligature for 2 hours and loosening of the ligature in the rats.
