Background: There are sex disparities in the risk of ruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA), but which sex-specific factors are related to ruptured IA remains inconclusive.
Methods: Data from electronic medical records from two tertiary hospitals, collected between January 2012 and December 2019, were analyzed for this study. All IAs were confirmed by computed tomographic angiography or digital subtraction angiography.
Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms pose a serious health risk due to their high chance of rupture, which can lead to severe outcomes like death or disability.
- Recent AI advancements allow for the prediction of aneurysm behavior through medical image analysis, but there's a lack of accessible datasets for AI training in this field.
- This paper introduces a detailed dataset with high-resolution CTA images from 99 patients, including aneurysms and healthy controls, along with clinical data and hemodynamic parameters, aimed at enhancing research on intracranial aneurysms.
Prognostic Value of Different Imaging Scores Based on CTA in Endovascular Treatment of Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
November 2022
Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors of intravascular therapy for acute basilar artery occlusion (aABO), and to evaluate the prognostic value of various imaging scores based on CTA.
Study Design: Observational study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, China, from January 2018 to January 2022.
Purpose: To develop and validate a radiomic nomogram based on texture features from out-of-phase T1W images and clinical biomarkers in prediction of liver fibrosis.
Materials And Methods: Patients clinically diagnosed with chronic liver fibrosis who underwent liver biopsy and noncontrast MRI were enrolled. All patients were assigned to the nonsignificant fibrosis group with fibrosis stage <2 and the significant fibrosis group with stage ≥2.
Introduction: This study aims to analyze the permeability of intra- and peri-meningiomas regions and compare the microvascular permeability between peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) and non-PTBE using DCE-MRI.
Methods: This was a retrospective of patients with meningioma who underwent surgery. The patients were grouped as PTBE and non-PTBE.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical value of MRI T2-mapping in carotid artery plaque.
Material And Methods: To locate the plaque in the carotid artery, 25 patients with carotid atherosclerosis were examined by 3.
Background: Acute variceal bleeding is one of the critical complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. Severe renal vasoconstriction in consequence of low peripheral vascular resistance triggers the reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and thus induces acute kidney injury (AKI)/hepato-renal syndrome (HRS). Terlipressin and octreotide have been used in the management of cirrhotic patients with variceal bleeding.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Cognitive impairment has received attention as an important problem in patients with end-stage renal disease, although end-stage renal disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism have not been studied.
Purpose: To assess the pattern of brain volume changes in end-stage renal disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism by using voxel-based morphometry and correlating these measures with clinical markers and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores.
Material And Methods: Fifty end-stage renal disease patients with no anatomical abnormalities in conventional MRI (25 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, 14 men, mean age 42.
Objectives: Neuroimaging studies of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during chemotherapy treatment have shown alterations in structure, function, and connectivity in several brain regions, suggesting neurobiological impairment that might influence the large-scale brain network. This study aimed to detect the alterations in the topological organization of structural covariance networks of ALL patients.
Methods: This study included 28 ALL patients undergoing chemotherapy and 20 matched healthy controls.
Aim: The association between Interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene polymorphism and stroke remains controversial. The present study was designed to clarify this relationship through a pooled analysis of the numerous epidemiological studies focusing on this association.
Methods: Published data addressing the association between polymorphism of the IL-1 gene and stroke were selected from electronic databases.
Aim: To assess the relationship of the Interleukin-10 (IL-10) -1082G/A (rs1800896), -819C/T (rs1800871) and -592C/A (rs1800872) polymorphism with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by means of meta-analysis.
Methods: Published data addressing the association between polymorphism of the IL-10 with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) were selected from electronic databases. A total of 17 studies including 4132 cases and 5109 controls were included in this meta-analysis which detected whether -1082G/A, -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphism were associated with CD or UC susceptibility.
