AI Article Synopsis
- Analyzed 360 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, finding cerebral aneurysms as the leading cause in 75% of cases.
- The anterior communicating artery was identified as the most common site for ruptured aneurysms.
- Overall mortality before surgery was 28%, but direct clipping had a 6.6% mortality rate for Grade 1 patients, with delayed surgeries showing lower mortality rates.
Article Abstract
We analysed 360 patients who presented with a proven subarachnoid haemorrhage during the period 1971-78. The most common cause was a cerebral aneurysm (75%), with the anterior communicating artery being the most common site for a ruptured aneurysm. Overall mortality rate before surgical intervention was 28%. During the period of study, 106 Grade 1 patients underwent direct clipping of their aneurysms; this procedure was associated with a 6.6% mortality rate. Delayed surgical intervention was associated with a lower surgical mortality rate.

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the connective tissue disease with the highest individual mortality. Crystalline silica is known to be an occupational risk factor for SSc. To assess past crystalline silica exposure, we aimed to study the validity of a job exposure matrix (JEM) to assess occupational exposure to crystalline silica compared to specific occupational interviews in two populations of SSc patients.

Pediatric neuro-oncology patients have one of the highest mortality rates among all children with cancer. Our study examines the potential relationship between palliative care consultation and intensity of in-hospital care and determines if racial and ethnic differences are associated with palliative care consultations during their terminal admission. Retrospective observational study using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database with data from U.

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease primarily treated through molecular-targeted therapies. However, emerging evidence suggests that dietary interventions may also play a role in managing inflammation associated with this condition. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), prevalent in southern European countries, has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality, largely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
