Objective: To determine maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes in a cohort of women with cerebrovascular malformations (CVMs) that include arterial venous malformations (AVMs) and cavernomas.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Six specialist centres managing pregnant women with neurological disorders.
Population: Sixty-three women with CVMs in 83 pregnancies of ≥20 completed weeks' gestation.
Methods: Retrospective case notes review.
Main Outcome Measures: Neurological outcomes including rates of acute cerebral bleeding in pregnancy and reported seizures during pregnancy. Maternal outcomes included number of women with a livebirth and the proportion of women being delivered by caesarean section.
Results: Most women had a good pregnancy outcome with high rates of vaginal delivery (73%) at term. There were no maternal deaths. Six women had an acute cerebral bleed, all of whom were delivered by planned caesarean section. In total, ten women had seizures in pregnancy (of whom four also had a bleed). Six (7%) babies were admitted to a neonatal unit. There was no significant difference in outcomes between women with AVMs and those with cavernomas.
Conclusion: In the majority of cases, pregnancy outcomes were favourable, with most women having a vaginal delivery. All cases of cerebral bleeds that occurred were at a remove from the peripartum period.
Tweetable Abstract: Women with cerebrovascular malformations have high rates of vaginal delivery.

Introduction: Despite many studies on the prevalence of vertebral fractures (VFs), the VF prevalence at death in the Japanese population remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated the VF prevalence at death in a Japanese cohort using autopsy imaging computed tomography (AiCT). We enrolled 365 cadavers (188 men, 177 women, mean age of 84.

Testosterone, an essential sex steroid hormone, influences brain health by impacting neurophysiology and neuropathology throughout the lifespan in both genders. However, human research in this area is limited, particularly in women. This study examines the associations between testosterone levels, gray matter volume (GMV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in midlife individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to sex and menopausal status.

Background: In-hospital mortality risk prediction is an important tool for benchmarking quality and patient prognostication. Given changes in patient characteristics and treatments over time, a contemporary risk model for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is needed.
Methods: Data from 313 825 acute MI hospitalizations between January 2019 and December 2020 for adults aged ≥18 years at 784 sites in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Chest Pain-MI Registry were used to develop a risk-standardized model to predict in-hospital mortality.
Risk factors of short-term poor functional outcomes and long-term durability of ruptured large or giant intracranial aneurysms.

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In particular, functional outcomes of SAH caused by large or giant (≥ 10 mm) ruptured intracranial aneurysms are worsened by high procedure-related complication rates. However, studies describing the risk factors for poor functional outcomes specific to ruptured large/giant aneurysms are sparse.
