Blood from an intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) can collect in the basilar cisterns and cause ventriculomegaly and eventual need for ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. We looked for sonographic evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in three basal cisterns and in the Sylvian fissure of 82 infants with IVH, 30 of whom had ventriculomegaly. We found that ultrasonographically diagnosed SAH and measurement of ventricular blood volume predict ventriculomegaly and need for VP shunt.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by intense central inflammation, leading to substantial post-hemorrhagic complications such as vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. Given the anti-inflammatory effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and its ability to promote brain plasticity, taVNS has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for SAH patients. However, the effects of taVNS on cardiovascular dynamics in critically ill patients, like those with SAH, have not yet been investigated.

Background: To explore the correlation between the topography of EPVS and cognitive impairment after aSAH.

Method: Patients clinically diagnosed as aSAH by DSA and CT; Head magnetic resonance imaging was performed between 1 week and 1 month after onset, combined with clinical and neuroimaging variables to assess the incidence of hydrocephalus and delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurystic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Follow-up was performed at 3 months, and the patients' prognosis and cognitive function were evaluated by mRS and the Montreal Cognitive Assesement (MoCA), respectively.

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a significant contributor to hemorrhagic stroke, notably lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), both of which have been observed in patients with MCI/AD. To evaluate all-cause mortality among veterans with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's dementia (AD) with/without Intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage (ICH/SAH) in the United States (US) Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAHS).

Method: Veterans with MCI or AD were identified based on having clinical notes or diagnostic codes in the VAHS database (2010-2019).

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The impact of SAH on human glymphatic function remains unknown.

Methods: This prospective, controlled study investigated whether human glymphatic function is altered after SAH, how it differs over time, and possible underlying mechanisms.
