An eight-year-old female developed cerebral infarction, with eventual brain death, as a consequence of therapeutic embolisation of a large facial haemangioma. Post-mortem histological examination revealed the presence of identical foreign body emboli, consistent with at least one of the embolic agents used in the procedure, within the haemangioma and both cerebral hemispheres. It is possible that some of these particles might have entered the cerebral circulation through anastomoses between the right external and internal carotid arteries, and subsequently crossed over from the ipsilateral to the contralateral cerebral vasculature via the Arterial Circle of Willis.

Delayed cerebral ischemia, one of the most common complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, was strongly related to poor patient outcomes. However, there are currently no clear guidelines to provide clinical guidance for post-craniotomy management. Our research aims to explore the association between cumulative blood pressure exposure during the early brain injury phase and the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction and rebleeding following surgical aneurysm clipping.

A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of chronic renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy was admitted to the cardiology department of our hospital with chronic heart failure. During hospitalization, her diabetic nephropathy worsened.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) triggers immune responses and neuroinflammation, contributing to brain injury. Histone lactylation, a metabolic stress-related histone modification, plays a critical role in various diseases, but its involvement in cerebral ischemia remains unclear. This study utilized a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model to investigate the role of microglial histone lactylation in ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objectives: To explore the neuroprotective mechanism of electroacupuncture at the acupoints and in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury.
Methods: Forty-eight male SD rats were equally randomized into sham operation group, cerebral IR model group, acupoint electroacupuncture group and non-acupoint acupuncture group. In the latter 3 groups, cerebral focal ischemic injury was induced using the Longa method; in the two electroacupuncture groups, electroacupuncture was performed either at the acupoints and or at non-acupoint sites for 7 days.

Unlabelled: The emergency destruction of the 4th reactor of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant necessitated large-scale emergency work, which involved large contingents of specialists. Analysis the mortality of Chornobyl clean-up workers isan important and relevant basis for planning medical protection measures in conditions of a potential threat ofemergency and other radiation situations.The objective of this work is to determine the levels and relative risks of mortality of Chornobyl clean-up workers in1986-1987 years from major non-tumor diseases depending on the received dose of radiation exposure, taking intoaccount age and time after the accident (period of epidemiological studies 1988-2021).
