Objective: Our objective was to describe incidence of neurologic damage in patients who experienced coronary revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiothoracic surgery.
Material And Methods: Clinical charts of patients who experienced coronary revascularization were chosen retrospectively. Some patients were excluded because their charts were incomplete. We searched for clinical evidence of neurologic damage after the surgical procedure; this was based on Glasgow scale, complementary tests, and some risk factors. Statistical results analysis were presented in frequencies, tendency of central measurements and standard deviation.
Results: We carried out 384 myocardial revascularizations in 1 year; 44 were excluded. We analyzed 340 charts with incidence of neurologic complications of 2.6% (9 cases of 340), and two cases (0.5%) with severe damage; one patient died. Incidence and type of complications that we found agree with the literature. Limitations exist because it was a retrospective study and evaluation was done only clinically considering only major neurologic damage and no neuropsychologic damage.

Concussion is a common injury in sports that causes neurological damage, leading to memory loss and difficulty concentrating. Insufficient recovery time may result in significant long-term harm to individuals. Several neuroimaging techniques have been used to understand the pathophysiological changes following concussion, and how long individuals need to recover before returning to play.

Human neural stem cells (hNSCs) possess significant therapeutic potential for the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), a leading cause of global death and disability. Recent pre-clinical studies have shown that hNSCs reduce tissue damage and promote functional recovery through neuroprotective and regenerative signaling and cell replacement. Yet the overall efficacy of hNSCs for TBI indications remains unclear.

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is a multifaceted neurological disorder characterized by the progressive deterioration of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric functions. Despite a limited understanding of its pathogenesis, research has implicated abnormal trinucleotide cytosine-adenine-guanine CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene (HTT) as a critical factor. The development of innovative strategies is imperative for the early detection of predictive biomarkers, enabling timely intervention and mitigating irreversible cellular damage.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is defined as physical damage that alters the function and structure of the spinal cord. Traumatic causes, such as vehicle accidents, falls, and violence, account for 90% of SCI cases. Recent evidence suggests that early intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring improves patient prognosis, highlighting the importance of prompt ICU admission and early decompression surgery.

Stroke affects over 12 million people annually, leading to high mortality, long-term disability, and substantial healthcare costs. Although East Asian herbal medicines are widely used for stroke treatment, the pathways of operation they use remain poorly understood. Our study investigates the neuroprotective properties of (AM) in acute ischemic stroke using photothrombotic (PTB) and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse models, as well as an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model.
