Background: The efficacy and safety of P2Y12 inhibitors (P2Y12i) with aspirin in patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic cerebrovascular events remains a topic of ongoing debate. Therefore, we conducted an updated meta-analysis to compare these drugs with aspirin alone.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the two treatment regimens in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular events.

Background: Textbook outcome (TO) has been utilized to assess the quality of surgical care. This study aimed to define TO rates for minimally invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resections in a bi-institutional cohort.
Methods: Patients with gastric GIST (≤ 5 cm) who underwent laparoscopic or robotic resection (January 2014 to January 2024) were retrospectively identified from two GIST centers.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe and disabling stroke, accounting for up to 50% of the cases in low-to-middle-income countries. High rates of cognitive decline and dementia follow acute ICH, due to the common underlying vasculopathy of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). The international clinical trial, TRIDENT (Triple therapy prevention of Recurrent Intracerebral Disease EveNts Trial), aims to determine the effectiveness of the fixed low-dose Triple Pill combination of blood pressure-lowering agents (telmisartan 20 mg, indapamide 1.

The manifestation of glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (GB) as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Molecular characteristics, including TERT promoter mutation, EGFR amplification, and chromosome 7 gain/10 loss, were incorporated to diagnose GB in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. When molecular analyses fail to detect low fractions of these genetic alterations, the integrated diagnosis of GB can be enigmatic.
