Objective: The recently published arteriovenous malformation-related intracerebral haemorrhage (AVICH) score showed better outcome prediction for patients with arteriovenous malformation (AVM)-related intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) than other AVM or ICH scores. Here we present the results of a multicentre, external validation of the AVICH score.
Methods: All participating centres (n=11) provided anonymous data on 325 patients to form the Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade, the supplemented SM (sSM) grade, the ICH score and the AVICH score. Modified Rankin score (mRS) at last follow-up (mean 25.6 months) was dichotomized into favourable (mRS 0-2, n=210) and unfavourable (mRS 3-6;n=115). Univariate and AUROC analyses were performed to validate the AVICH score.
Results: Except nidus structure and AVM size, all single parameters forming the SM, sSM, ICH and AVICH score and the scores itself were significantly different between both outcome groups in the univariate analysis. The AVICH score was confirmed to be the highest predictive outcome score with an AUROC of 0.765 compared with 0.705 for the ICH score and 0.682 for the sSM grade.
Conclusion: The multicentre-validated AVICH score predicts clinical outcome superior to pre-existing scores. We suggest the routine use of this score for future clinical outcome prediction and in clinical research.

•Our study did not support the hypothesis that small AVMs lead to larger hematoma volumes in the event of a rupture.•AVM size did not correlate with the clinical severity of the bleeding as measured with HH and WFNS scores.•Larger supratentorial hematomas were associated with a more severe clinical manifestation and a poorer outcome.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the treatment outcomes of high-grade arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in a multicenter setting across two Italian hospitals from 2015 to 2019, focusing on those graded IV and V using surgical risk assessment scales.
- - A total of 20 patients were analyzed, with results showing that 65% had favorable outcomes after surgery, indicating that pre-operative factors like mRS score, age, and bleeding history influenced recovery.
- - The findings suggest that surgical intervention should be reserved for select patients with severe symptoms or repeated bleeding, and that classification systems can help in making informed decisions about suitable candidates for surgery.
External validation of brain arteriovenous malformation haemorrhage scores, AVICH, ICH and R2eD.

Purpose: To externally validate the arteriovenous malformation-related intracerebral haemorrhage (AVICH), intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), and novel haemorrhage presentation risk score (R2eD) in brain arteriovenous malformations.
Methods: Adult patients diagnosed radiologically with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) at a tertiary neurosurgical centre between 2007 and 2018 were eligible for inclusion. Both the AVICH and ICH scores were calculated for AVM-related symptomatic haemorrhage (SH) and compared against the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at discharge and last follow-up, with unfavourable outcome defined as mRS > 2.
Safety Study on Ketoprofen in Pigs: Evaluating the Effects of Different Dosing and Treatment Scheme on Hematological, Hepatic, and Renal Parameters.

A safety study on ketoprofen 10% was carried out on pigs using a different dosing and treatment scheme. Forty healthy crossbreed pigs with similar age, weight, and body condition score were distributed into five treatment groups. The pigs were intramuscularly injected once with different doses of ketoprofen: 3 mg/kg (group 1X), 6 mg/kg (group 2X), 9 mg/kg (group 3X).
