Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to address the connection between cancer and ischemic stroke (IS), highlighting how shared risk factors create a "vicious cycle" that complicates diagnosis and treatment for IS patients who may also have occult cancer.
  • The research involved analyzing clinical data from IS patients and employed various predictive models to identify occult cancer, aiming to create an effective diagnostic tool (nomogram) for use in clinical settings.
  • The best model, based on logistic regression, incorporated factors like ischemic lesion regions and blood markers, achieving a strong predictive ability with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.871 in the training dataset.

Our objective is to analyze the etiology and antibiotics resistance rate of multiple drug-resistant bacteria infection in elderly patients with stroke-associated pneumonia from Neurosurgery Department, providing a reference for clinical treatment. Sputum of 372 elderly patients with stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) from Neurosurgery Department was collected for sputum culture and drug sensitivity test, and pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance rate of antibiotics were discussed. Among 372 pathogenic bacteria, there were 95 cases with Gram-positive cocci, the percentage was 15.
