Objective: This study investigated the effects of early treatment and pathophysiology on eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis neuropathy (EGPA-N).
Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients with EGPA-N were diagnosed and treated within a day of admission and underwent clinical analysis. Peripheral nerve recovery rates were evaluated after early treatment by identifying the damaged peripheral nerve through detailed neurological findings.

We report a case of persistent consciousness disturbance due to non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) following a successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT). A 98-year-old female with atrial fibrillation presented with impaired consciousness and right hemiparesis 6 hrs after her last known well state. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed occlusion of the left internal carotid artery, necessitating MT to achieve complete recanalisation.

Personalized prediction of stroke outcome using lesion imaging markers is still too imprecise to make a breakthrough in clinical practice. We performed a combined prediction and brain mapping study on topographic and connectomic lesion imaging data to evaluate (i) the relationship between lesion-deficit associations and their predictive value and (ii) the influence of time since stroke. In patients with first-ever ischaemic stroke, we first applied high-dimensional machine learning models on lesion topographies or structural disconnection data to model stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 24 h/3 months) and functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale 3 months) in cross-validation.

Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.
Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
