Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a higher mortality rate among stroke subtypes. The amount of hematoma at baseline and subsequent expansion are considered strong independent markers for determining poor clinical outcome. Even though reduction in blood pressure to prevent and control the amount of bleeding in ICH has received considerable amount of attention, the impact of coagulopathy and platelet dysfunction, on the bleeding diathesis has not been extensively investigated. With the increasing use of antiplatelets and/or anticoagulants, given the aging population, a deeper understanding of the interactions between ICH and hemostatic mechanisms is essential to help minimize the risk of a catastrophic coagulopathy-related ICH. In this review article, etiology and risk factors associated with coagulopathy-related ICH are discussed. An overview of coagulation abnormalities, hemostatic agents, and blood biomarkers pertaining to ICH is included.

To investigate corticospinal tract (CST) injury and remodeling in patients with basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and explore the characterization capabilities of the corresponding parameters. In this prospective study, baseline, scale, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data were collected from patient cohorts. Participants were stratified into favorable (0-3 points) and unfavorable (4-6 points) prognosis groups, based on Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) after 3-6 months.

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.

Introduction: The venous outflow profile (VOP) is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect affecting stroke outcomes. It plays a major role in the physiopathology of acute cerebral ischemia, as it accounts for both the upstream arterial collaterals and cerebral microperfusion. This enables it to circumvent the limitations of various arterial collateral evaluation systems, which often fail to consider impaired autoregulation and its impact on cerebral blood flow at the microcirculatory levels.

This study examined the association of sleep architecture with anatomical features frequently observed in AD: (1) atrophy of cuneus, hippocampus, entorhinal, inferior parietal, parahippocampal, and precuneus regions (henceforth referred to as "AD-vulnerable regions") and (2) the presence of cerebral microbleeds.
Method: In 271 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Communities Study, we examined the prospective association of baseline sleep architecture with anatomical features of the brain identified on MRI conducted ∼17 years later.

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are small hypointense round lesions that indicate leakage of blood products from cerebral vessels damaged by β-amyloid-40 (Aβ) and typically are detected by T2*-weighted and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) on MRI. They are indicators of cerebral small vessel diseases, especially cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), affecting cortical small arteries. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an advanced MRI imaging technique used to quantify the magnetic susceptibility of tissues in the human body.
