AI Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) is a serious condition linked with long-term rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that can lead to severe cardiovascular issues.
- A case study of a 38-year-old man highlighted the connection between RA and complications like hypertensive emergencies and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
- The findings suggest that early detection and management of RA could potentially lower the risk of ICH, but further large-scale research is needed to confirm these results.
Article Abstract
Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) occurs in patients with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or high levels of immunological factors and can result in devastating cardiovascular (CV) events. Here we report a case of a 38-year-old male who presented with hypertensive emergency and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In the literature, a few observational studies have indicated the association of RA with hypertension; however, little evidence exists supporting a direct relationship between RA and ICH. In this case, we attempted to evaluate the complex relationship between all of these factors and found that early detection and treatment of RA may be beneficial in reducing ICH; however, large studies in the future are warranted to validate our observation.

Background: After encephalopathy, epileptic seizures (ES) are the second most common neurologic complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and may announce a disabling/fatal neurologic disease.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected clinical information from patients who underwent OLT at our institution and analyzed outcomes and potential risk factors for developing ES after OLT.
Results: Fourteen of our 376 patients (3.
Artificial biomarker-based feedback-regulated personalized and precise thrombolysis with lower hemorrhagic risk.

The body weight-based thrombolytic medication strategy in clinical trials shows critical defects in recanalization rate and post-thrombolysis hemorrhage. Methods for perceiving thrombi heterogeneity of thrombolysis resistance is urgently needed for precise thrombolysis. Here, we revealed the relationship between the thrombin heterogeneity and the thrombolysis resistance in thrombi and created an artificial biomarker-based nano-patrol system with robotic functional logic to perceive and report the thrombolysis resistance of thrombi.

Left atrial myxoma is the most prevalent primary cardiac tumor, known for its high risk of systemic embolization. Although surgical excision remains the standard treatment, options are limited for high-risk patients. This case report introduces a novel approach using transcatheter electrosurgery to address a left atrial myxoma via a transseptal approach in a patient ineligible for conventional surgery due to the heightened risk of intracranial hemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Objective: To assess the predictive value of peripheral blood inflammatory markers for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and explore methods for early intervention.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study reviewed medical records of ICH patients admitted to Cangzhou People's Hospital over a 12-month period from January 2022 to December 2023. Of the 150 identified patients with ICH, including 80 patients without DCI (control group) and 70 with DCI (observation group).
