Predicting delirium in critically Ill COVID-19 patients using EEG-derived data

Delirium is a severe and common complication among critically ill patients, particularly those with SARS-CoV-2 infection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. Early identification of at-risk patients is crucial for timely intervention and improved outcomes. This prospective observational cohort study explores the potential of electroencephalography (EEG) combined with machine learning (ML) models ...

Predictors of Response to Anti-CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies: A Retrospective Study

Background: Anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies are effective and well-tolerated therapies for migraine prevention. However, up to 30–40% of patients do not respond. While some clinical features have been associated with treatment outcomes, evidence remains limited. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with episodic or chronic migraine followed at a tertiary head...

Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke after recent myocardial infa...

Background and Purpose- The safety of IV r-tPA (intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment after recent myocardial infarction (MI) is still a matter of debate. We studied the safety of delivering IV r-tPA to AIS patients with a MI within the preceding 3 months. Methods- Retrospective review of consecutive AIS admitted to 2 tertiary university hospitals' and systemat...

Patients with undetermined stroke have increased atrial fibrosis : a cardiac ma...

Background and Purpose—Some patients with ischemic strokes that are currently classified as having an undetermined cause may have structural or functional changes of the left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage, which increase their risk of thromboembolism. We compared the LA and left atrial appendage of patients with different ischemic stroke causes using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Methods—We prospe...

Mitochondrial haplogroup H1 is protective for ischemic stroke in portuguese pat...

Background: The genetic contribution to stroke is well established but it has proven difficult to identify the genes and the disease-associated alleles mediating this effect, possibly because only nuclear genes have been intensely investigated so far. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been implicated in several disorders having stroke as one of its clinical manifestations. The aim of this case-control study was to ...

Role of the cerebellum in cognitive and behavioural control: scientific basis a...

Although classically considered to be involved only in motor coordination, the cerebellum has more recently been implicated also in cognitive control. Anatomical studies have shown the cerebellum to be linked to pre-frontal, occipito-parietal and temporal cortical associative areas, as well as to the limbic system, in a closed loop circuit. Functional studies revealed activation of the cerebellum during perform...
