In a series of 6 severely head injured patients, intraventricular as well as rectal, bladder and jugular vein temperature is recorded. The relationship between these temperatures in different conditions is evaluated. Intracerebral temperature is 0.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C (mean +/- SD) higher than bladder temperature except in conditions such as brain death. It is concluded that rectal temperature is not representative and therefore not a good alternative to the measurement of brain temperature. More data on human intracerebral temperature are mandatory as well as prospective studies correlating intracerebral temperature with final outcome in head injury.

Implementation of a goal-directed Care Bundle for intracerebral hemorrhage: Results of embedded process evaluation in the INTERACT3 trial.

The third, stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized, Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3), has shown that a goal-directed multi-faceted Care Bundle incorporating protocols for the management of physiological variables was safe and effective for improving functional recovery in a broad range of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The INTERACT3 Care Bundle included time- and target-based protocols for the management of early intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP, target <140mmHg), glucose control (target 6.1-7.

Background: Little evidence is available on the long-term health effects of nitrogen dioxide (NO) in low-income and middle-income populations. We investigated the associations of long-term NO exposure with the incidence of a wide spectrum of disease outcomes, based on data from the China Kadoorie Biobank.
Methods: This prospective cohort study involved 512 724 Chinese adults aged 30-79 years recruited from ten areas of China during 2004-08.
Risk and attributable fraction estimation for the impact of exposure to compound drought and hot events on daily stroke admissions.

School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University.
Background: The projection indicates that compound drought and hot events (CDHEs) will intensify, posing risks to cardiovascular health by potentially increasing stroke incidents. However, epidemiological evidence on this topic remains scarce. This study investigates the association between exposure to CDHEs and the risk of daily stroke admissions, specifically examining the effects on various stroke categories such as Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH), Ischemic Stroke (IS), Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), and other types of stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common and serious complication after a stroke, leading to high mortality rates, prompting the need for effective diagnosis and treatment strategies.
- This study analyzed the National Early Warning Score (NEWS 2) and its components in 389 SAP patients to determine their relationship with time-to-mortality before starting antibiotics, revealing significant associations with respiratory rate and overall NEWS 2 score.
- Findings indicated that a higher respiratory rate and total NEWS 2 score are linked to increased mortality risk, suggesting the need for further research to improve treatment outcomes for SAP patients.

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is a severe stroke with high mortality and disability rates. Endoscopic surgery is an increasingly widely used minimally invasive method for the treatment of SICH. However, the impact of fever on patient outcomes remains unclear.
