Objective: The optimal timing of bypass surgery for patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) or moyamoya syndrome (MMS) following an acute stroke episode remains unclear, mainly owing to the risk of postoperative complications. In this study, we aim to validate the safety and efficacy of early intervention using multiple burr hole (MBH) and erythropoietin (EPO) therapy, thereby refining the management strategy for patients with acute stroke episode of MMD or MMS.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 70 patients with MMD or MMS who underwent MBH and EPO therapy.

Background: To evaluate the benefits of high-dose erythropoietin (EPO) combined with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scores and neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic-ecephalopathy (HIE), especially in neonates who received TH between six to 12 hours of birth.
Methods: This prospective, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolled term newborns with moderate to severe HIE admitted to neonatal intensive care unit between April 2018 and April 2022. Hypothermia was started within 12 hours of birth.

The major therapeutic intervention for anemia among chronic kidney disease patients is erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. However, a limitation of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents is the risk for thromboembolic events, hypertension, seizures, solid organ malignancies and hyporesponsiveness.
