Of 240 patients irradiated for metastatic brain tumors 4 died 4.5-60 h after the first session of irradiation at doses of 1.7-6 Gy. A clinicomorphological analysis showed that the main cause of death was acute microcirculatory disturbance in cerebral tissues with the formation of new hemorrhagic microfoci associated with severe disorders of cerebral tissues as a result of their involvement by far-advanced tumors.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the pro-gressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Current treatments primarily offer symptomatic relief without halt-ing disease progression. This has driven the exploration of natural compounds with neuropro-tective properties.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been implicated in cross-organ protection in cerebrovascular disease, including stroke. However, the lack of a consensus protocol and controversy over the clinical therapeutic outcomes of RIC suggest an inadequate mechanistic understanding of RIC. The current study identifies RIC-induced molecular and cellular events in the blood, which enhance long-term functional recovery in experimental cerebral ischemia.

Introduction Whole-body computed tomography angiography (CTA) may be useful during cerebral angiography and endovascular treatment (EVT), and identification of thrombi and malignant trunk tumors may be helpful in stroke typing and acute stroke care. Therefore, we aimed to assess the types and prevalence of incidental findings on whole-body CTA in this patient population. Methods This single-center, retrospective, observational study included consecutive patients with suspected acute stroke who underwent whole-body CTA in addition to brain CTA between April 2020 and August 2023.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC)originates from the epithelial cells of the intrahepatic bile ducts, with insidious onset and strong invasiveness, and most of the cases are found in the advanced stage, with extremely poor prognosis. In advanced stages, distant metastases to the lungs, bones, and brain are common, but distant soft tissue (subcutaneous and skeletal muscle) and breast metastases are rare, and simultaneous metastases to all three rare sites had not been reported. We report a 69-year-old woman with right upper abdominal pain who underwent a plain and enhanced CT scan of the upper abdomen, which revealed an intrahepatic space-occupying lesion, as well as subcutaneous and peritoneal nodules in the abdomen.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe condition that often leads to permanent functional impairments. The current treatment options are limited and there is a need for more effective treatments. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) have shown promise in promoting neuroregeneration and modulating immune response.
