Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and intracranial aneurysms are prevalent conditions in the cerebrovascular system. ICAS causes a narrowing of the arterial lumen, thereby restricting blood flow, while aneurysms involve the ballooning of blood vessels. Both conditions can lead to severe outcomes, such as stroke or vessel rupture, which can be fatal.

Research Question: Is the diagnosis of UIA associated with psychosocial outcomes, healthcare services utilisation, or sick leave in untreated individuals?
Material And Methods: Nested case-control study with 96 participants diagnosed with UIAs through magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) screening, not receiving preventive aneurysm obliteration.
Article Synopsis
- Gliomas are diverse tumors, and accurately identifying aggressive areas and borders is crucial for diagnosis and treatment; this study explored the use of [F]-FACBC PET for better glioma tissue classification.
- The research involved analyzing pre-surgical [F]-FACBC PET/MR images and comparing their effectiveness with histomolecular results and conventional MRIs through biopsy samples from 17 patients with various glioma grades.
- Findings indicated that [F]-FACBC PET outperformed conventional MRI in sensitivity and specificity for tumor classification, revealing larger tumor volumes in glioblastoma patients and showing potential for improved diagnostic accuracy when used alongside traditional MRI methods.
Introduction: Studies report rates of treatment-requiring postoperative intracranial haemorrhage after craniotomy around 1-2%, but do not distinguish between supratentorial and posterior fossa operations. Reports about intracranial haemorrhages' temporal occurrence show conflicting results. Recommendations for duration of postoperative monitoring vary.

Here, we describe glioma incidence and survival trends by histopathology group, age, and sex in the Norwegian population.
Material And Methods: We included patients with a histologically verified glioma reported to the Cancer Registry of Norway from 2002 to 2021 (N = 7,048).
