Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of intracerebral hemorrhage in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).
Methods And Patient Presentation: We report an 18-year-old student of EGPA complicated with intracerebral hemorrhage. The laboratory tests showed a continuous increase in eosinophils. The CT of head and chest showed cerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary infiltration.
Interventions: The patient received an intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone 1g/(kg·d) and cyclophosphamide for 3 days, followed by oral prednisone 1 mg/(kg·d).
Outcomes: At discharge, the patient's head and chest CT showed obvious absorption of intracranial hematoma and improvement of pulmonary infiltration. We reviewed 40 previously published cases of EGPA with intracerebral hemorrhage focusing on the clinical features and treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage caused by EGPA.
Conclusion: For the cases of EGPA complicated with intracerebral hemorrhage, we should timely differentiate diagnosis and recognition. Early diagnosis with aggressive immunosuppressive therapy can help improve the prognosis of patients EGPA with intracerebral hemorrhage. When a patient is affected by EGPA, it is essential to remain vigilant for signs of Central Nervous System involvement. The treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide is effective in managing EGPA.

Reforming early intervention for premature infants: insights into integrated nursing and medical care in Western China.

Background: Premature births has imposed substantial burdens on medical resources. Consequently, a specialized team was established and a model focused on early intervention, namely the Delivery Room Intensive Care Unit (DICU) emphasizing "care, support, and treatment" was introduced and its impact on the morbidity and mortality outcomes of newborns was assessed. Additionally, we aimed to develop a nomogram model for predicting the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants.

Background: Microcirculatory dysfunction is one of the most important pathophysiology mechanisms of global cerebral edema (GCE) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Data regarding the impact of microcirculatory dysfunction on persistent GCE following aSAH are currently lacking. The aim of our study was to investigate whether microcirculatory dysfunction is correlated with persistent GCE in patients with aSAH across different age groups.

Poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (PGASAH) is associated with high mortality and morbidity despite advanced treatments. Accurate prediction of prognosis remains a clinical challenge. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors and develop a predictive nomogram for unfavorable outcomes in PGASAH patients.

It is feasible to predict delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) using Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which may offer significant improvements in early diagnosis and patient management. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the efficacy of machine learning (ML) in predicting DCI, aiming to integrate complex clinical data to enhance diagnostic accuracy. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, and Embase databases without restrictions until June 2024, applying PRISMA guidelines.

BACKGROUND Decompressive craniectomy is a common life-saving intervention in the setting of elevated intracranial pressure. Cranioplasty restores the calvarium and intracranial physiology once swelling recedes. Cranioplasty is often thought of as a low-risk intervention.
