Background/aims: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are two subtypes of hemorrhagic stroke that may cause severe complications in patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The differences in clinical features between SAH and ICH associated with ADPKD are not known.
Methods: Among 647 ADPKD patients hospitalized between 1997 and 2007 in our hospital, 11 with ICH (1.7%) and 6 with SAH (0.9%) were identified.
Results: Patients with SAH were significantly younger than patients with ICH (39 +/- 6 vs. 57 +/- 15 years, p = 0.013). The systolic blood pressure on admission was significantly higher in patients with ICH (194 +/- 26 vs. 145 +/- 18 mm Hg, p = 0.001). Two patients (18.2%) with ICH died after a first episode, 6 had a second episode, and 2 had a third episode. Two patients (33.3%) with SAH died after a first episode but the survivors had no recurrence during follow-up. The 30-day survival curves comparing patients with ICH and SAH were not significantly different. Patients with a Glasgow Coma Score less than 9 on arrival had a significantly worse outcome.
Conclusion: Clinical features differed between ICH and SAH associated with ADPKD. Nevertheless, blood pressure control and early recognition of hemorrhagic stroke are important in ADPKD patients.

Predictors and Implications of Myocardial Injury in Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Clin Neuroradiol

Department of Neurology, Klinikum rechts der Isar, School of Medicine and Health, Technical University of Munich, Ismaninger Str. 22, 81675, Munich, Germany.
Purpose: Myocardial injury, indicated by an elevation of high-sensitive cardiac Troponin (hs-cTnT), is a frequent stroke-related complication. Most studies investigated patients with ischemic stroke, but only little is known about its occurrence in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to assess the frequency, predictors, and implications of myocardial injury in ICH patients.

Background: X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) techniques are indispensable in managing critically ill neurosurgical patients. However, repeated diagnostic imaging leads to cumulative radiation exposure, raising concerns about long-term risks such as malignancies. This study evaluates the frequency, dosage, and implications of radiation exposure in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) patient cohort.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of the Duke clinical criteria of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC; 2015 and 2023 versions) and the 2023 International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) in diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) among patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by pathogens introduced for the first time as typical microorganisms by ISCVID.
Methods: Retrospective study.
Setting: This study included adult patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by such pathogens (coagulase negative staphylococci, Abiotrophia spp.
Non-Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage and Risk of Incident Dementia in U.S. Medicare Beneficiaries.

To study the risk of incident dementia after a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in a diverse US population, and evaluate if this risk is different for the subtypes of intracranial hemorrhage. We performed a retrospective cohort study using both inpatient and outpatient claims data on Medicare beneficiaries between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2018. The exposure was a new diagnosis of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, defined as a composite of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and subdural hemorrhage (SDH).

There is limited data on ultra-early hematoma growth dynamics and its clinical relevance in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to estimate the incidence of hematoma expansion (HE) within the hyperacute period of ICH, describe hematoma dynamics over time, investigate the associations between ultra-early HE and clinical outcomes after ICH, and assess the effect of tranexamic acid on ultra-early HE. We performed a planned secondary analysis of the STOP-MSU international multicenter randomized controlled trial.
