A lower salt intake is an effective management strategy for hypertension and ultimately stroke. However, this strategy compromises the taste of food. To overcome this, a taste manipulation strategey using electronic taste simulation (ETS) has been established, but this has only been studied in healthy individuals.

- Thromboembolism is a critical concern in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for ruptured cerebral aneurysms, and administering antiplatelet agents like aspirin before the procedure may lower this risk.
- The study, called ASTOP, is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial involving 484 patients, comparing the effects of 200 mg of aspirin versus a placebo prior to treatment.
- Primary outcomes will focus on measuring thromboembolic complications and ischemic lesions during the procedure, while secondary outcomes will assess cerebral ischemic events, bleeding incidents, and patient functional status after 90 days.
Background: Although transfemoral carotid artery stenting (CAS) is widely performed for carotid stenosis, serious or even fatal complications such as embolic and access site complications can still occur. We devised a novel dual protection system with continuous flow reversal to the cephalic vein of the forearm in transradial CAS, referred to as the "trans-forearm dual protection" technique.
Methods: A 75-year-old man with a diagnosis of symptomatic left cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis underwent CAS using the trans-forearm dual protection technique.
Background: Patients with vestibular migraine (VM) exhibit higher levels of central sensitization and share similar disorder characteristics with migraine with vestibular symptoms (MwVS), except in terms of disability. These patients experience fluctuating mechanical pain thresholds and persistent vestibular symptoms even without a migraine attack.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether interictal allodynia or hyperalgesia can differentiate between VM, MwVS, and migraine only.
Article Synopsis
- A 21-year-old man with Ollier disease, diagnosed at age 1, began developing multiple gliomas at age 15, which worsened despite several surgeries.
- Genetic testing identified the IDH1 p.R132C mutation in the gliomas, linked to malignant changes, but treatment efforts ultimately failed.
- The case highlights the need for more research on IDH mutations in Ollier disease and emphasizes the importance of collaborative approaches for long-term management of related gliomas.
