A case of massive intracerebral hemorrhage, a rare but often fatal complication of amphetamine abuse, is described along with the review of the literature. There has been resurgence in the abuse of amphetamine. Amphetamine or other illicit drug abuse should be considered in young patients with cerebrovascular events.

Background: Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) and protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) are considered to be a synthetic lethal pair of targets, due to the fact that deletion of MTAP leads to massive production of methylthioadenosine (MTA) decreasing the activity of PRMT5. In vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that MRTX1719, a small molecule that selectively binds PRMT5/MTA complex, significantly inhibits the proliferation of MTAP-deficient tumors and has a weak toxic effect on normal cells. However, it has been reported that MTAP-deleted tumors did not significantly accumulate MTA in vivo due to metabolism of MTA by MTAP-expressing stroma, which might lead to a diminished anti-cancer effect of MRTX1719.

Article Synopsis
- Big data analytics is revolutionizing clinical decision-making by utilizing vast healthcare data to create evidence-based solutions, but it raises significant privacy and security concerns, especially regarding sensitive medical images stored in the cloud.
- The proposed project aims to enhance patient care through a machine learning-based anomaly detection system for medical images, addressing current limitations in existing detection methods that struggle with resource consumption and real-time performance.
- The research focuses on improving data processing techniques, including feature selection and handling missing values, employing advanced algorithms like recursive feature elimination and dynamic principal component analysis for more effective anomaly detection.
Infective endocarditis causing recurrent cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and septic meningitis: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Neurology, Weifang People's Hospital, Weifang, Shandong, China.
Rationale: We reported a rare case of recurrent cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, and purulent meningitis, culminating in the diagnosis of a young patient with infective endocarditis who had been treated in 3 hospitals for a long course of illness for 8 months prior to diagnosis. It aims to enhance clinicians' understanding of the neurological complications caused by infective endocarditis.
Patient Concerns: A 25-year-old male, student, was hospitalized for an 8-hour history of speech impairment and drooling with dysphagia.
Angioembolization for hemostasis in craniofacial fractures had a higher probability of delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.

Introduction: While angioembolization is occasionally required for craniofacial fracture patients who experience massive maxillofacial hemorrhage, complications such as headache, temporal-facial pain, soft tissue necrosis, and embolic material migration leading to stroke or blindness can arise. Few studies have explored delayed or progressive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following angioembolization for craniofacial fractures.
Methods: A retrospective review of craniofacial fracture patients from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022 at our institution was conducted.
Neuroprotective Potential of Ethoxzolamide Targeting Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Experimental Models of Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like ethoxyzolamide (ETZ) may have therapeutic benefits for central nervous system trauma, specifically intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but its effectiveness is still under investigation.
- Experiments using ICH models showed that ETZ improves neuronal damage and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress markers in a dose-dependent manner, while also maintaining liver and kidney function.
- The study suggests that ETZ activates the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway, enhancing antioxidant effects, by binding to the Nrf2 domain in cells affected by ICH.
