Three cases of hemorrhagic nerve sheath tumors of the scalp are presented with emphasis on CT findings. Each mass produced a mixed pattern of CT density due to the combination of tumor and hemorrhage within it. The CT findings were remarkably similar in the three patients and included a calvarial abnormality underlying the mass in each.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on retinal oxygen metabolism, calibre of retinal vessels, and blood flow velocity in the optic nerve head (ONH) and choroid in patients with severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Methods: In this retrospective study, 37 patients (37 eyes) were studied. Retinal oximetry and laser speckle flowgraphy measurements were performed at baseline and after PRP.

Spinal cord injuries, including rare cases without radiological abnormalities, pose diagnostic challenges, particularly in cases of delayed neurological deficit development. This case report describes a 55-year-old man with a stable L1 burst fracture who developed delayed neurological deficits two weeks after sustaining a fall despite no evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic spinal cord abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient initially presented with back pain, normal muscle strength across all myotomes, and imaging that showed no canal stenosis or retropulsion fragments.

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and electroacupuncture has a long history of use in stroke treatment. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture and explore its potential mechanisms in animal models of ischemic stroke. The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases were comprehensively searched up to May 1, 2024.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most dangerous subtype of stroke, characterized by high mortality and morbidity rates, and frequently leads to significant secondary white matter injury. In recent decades, studies have revealed that gut microbiota can communicate bidirectionally with the brain through the gut microbiota-brain axis. This axis indicates that gut microbiota is closely related to the development and prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage and its associated secondary white matter injury.
