De Novo Brain Vascular Malformation in an Adult with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia and Juvenile Polyposis Overlap Syndrome
The development of brain vascular malformation (BVM) is rare in adults. The Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) Clinical Guidelines recommend BVM screening with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the time of diagnosis. However, these guidelines apply broadly to the HHT population and do not account for patients with Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 4 (MADH4) mutations, often presenting other hypermobility features and cardiovascular anomalies (e.g., Aortic root aneurysms, vascular kinking).

The Predictive Value of Serum F-actin on the Severity and Early Neurological Deterioration of Acute Ischemic Stroke
F-actin is involved in the progression of ischemic stroke and is associated with the disruption of the blood-brain barrier. In this article, we evaluated serum F-actin as a biomarker in stroke severity and early neurological deterioration (END) in acute ischemic stroke.

Health Care-Associated Infections after Surgical Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is catastrophic, and microsurgery for ruptured intracranial aneurysms is one of the preventive modalities for rebleeding. However, patients remain at high risk of medical morbidities after surgery, one of the most important of which is health care-associated infections (HAIs). We analyzed the incidence and risk factors of HAIs, as well as their association with the outcomes after surgical treatment of ruptured aneurysms.

Differentiating Ischemic Stroke Patients from Healthy Subjects Using a Large-Scale, Retrospective EEG Database and Machine Learning Methods
We set out to develop a machine learning model capable of distinguishing patients presenting with ischemic stroke from a healthy cohort of subjects. The model relies on a 3-minute resting electroencephalogram (EEG) recording from which features can be computed. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

An algorithm for the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale assessment: a multicenter, two-arm and cluster randomized study
The NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a validated tool for assessing stroke severity, increasingly used by general practitioners in telemedicine services. Mobile apps may enhance its reliability. We aim to validate a digital platform (SPOKES) for NIHSS assessment in telemedicine and healthcare settings. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

A comparison of endovascular therapy and medical management in patients with large vessel occlusion mild stroke treated between 2015 and 2023: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Endovascular therapy (EVT) is recommended for patients with acute large-vessel occlusion (LVO) However, its efficacy and safety compared to medical management (MM) in patients with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≤6 remains unclear. This meta-analysis compared EVT with medical MM in patients with large vessel occlusion mild stroke treated between 2015 and 2023, following the publication of the first randomized controlled trial.

SDF-1/CXCR4 axis participants in the pathophysiology of adult patients with moyamoya disease
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by an abundance of moyamoya vessels; however, the precise mechanism driving the spontaneous angiogenesis of these compensatory vessels remains unclear. Previous research has established a link between the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/ CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis and angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions. Nevertheless, the alterations in this axis within the cerebrospinal fluid, arachnoid membranes and vascular tissue of MMD patients have not been fully investigated.

Decompressive craniectomy for patients with malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery: a pooled analysis of two randomized controlled trials
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) reduces mortality without increasing the risk of very severe disability among patients with life-threatening massive cerebral infarction. However, its efficacy was demonstrated before the era of endovascular thrombectomy trials. It remains uncertain whether DC improves the prognosis of patients with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction receiving endovascular therapy.

The Impact of Pre-Stroke Metformin Use on Clinical Outcomes after Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Stroke stands as one of the most devastating medical conditions and societal burdens, ranking as the third-leading cause of both death and disability on a global scale1. Diabetes mellitus, specifically type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is not just a prevalent medical condition but also a known risk factor for stroke, contributing to both its occurrence and recurrence2-5. The complexities tied to diabetes make it a focal point of investigation, especially given that hyperglycemia upon admission has been correlated with unfavorable outcomes post-stroke2, 6-8.
