Subarachnoid hemorrhage, a potentially lethal medical emergency, represents an atypical clinical manifestation of gestational choriocarcinoma. We present the uncommon case of a 31-year-old primigravid female who presented with cerebral oncotic aneurysmal rupture, five weeks after vaginal delivery. Albeit the absence of neurological deficits after endovascular embolization, the patient was soon readmitted, complaining of fever, abdominal pain, and fetid lochia, all suggestive of puerperal endometritis. Upon a comprehensive diagnostic work-up, she was subsequently diagnosed with metastatic choriocarcinoma. Early initiation of multiagent chemotherapy, despite being in septic shock associated with bacteremia, resulted in favorable prognosis.

Aims: This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of exosomes derived from Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1)-overexpressing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (Exo) in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) mouse model.

Methods: In this study, exosomes were identified using Western blotting, particle analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of Exo and Exo on the neurological function of SAH mice was assessed using the Garcia scoring system, Beam balance, Rotarod test, and Morris water maze test.

Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, No. 17 Yongwaizheng Street, Nanchang, 330006, Jiangxi, China. Electronic address:

The aim of this study was to assess the potential causal relationship between lifestyle factors and intracranial aneurysms (IAs) using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. The study used a pooled dataset from a genome-wide association study that covered information on 24 lifestyle factors, intracranial aneurysm cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and unruptured aneurysms. Five MR methods were applied for analysis by selecting single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables, with the inverse variance weighting method as the main method.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the global burden of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15-39 years from 1990 to 2021, highlighting spatial and temporal trends and providing insights for future public health strategies.

Methods: Data were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), which includes comprehensive evaluations of health conditions and associated risk factors across 204 countries and territories. The focus was on SAH incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) among AYAs.
