Gene expression profiling of brain endothelial cells after experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage disq.us/t/3w3gbw2. Great to have our open-access work published @SciReports. Thx to funding sources: @cvsection, @NREFORG, @CIHR_IRSC #SAH #neurosurgery #aneurysm #stroke

"Among patients with a PHASES score < 8 or an ELAPSS score < 15, no aneurysm-related death or aneurysm rupture occurred."

"Aneurysm size and PHASES and ELAPSS scores were independent predictors of hemorrhage."

New multicenter study reveals limitations of medical management for infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs). Early surgical or endovascular intervention shows better outcomes for high-risk patients. 🧠💉 #NeuroSurgery #StrokeCare @JNIS_BMJ bit.ly/43JL2oV

“… modeled risk factors of which high systolic blood pressure… and smoking… had the highest attribution.”

“… SAH ranked as the 36th most common cause of death and 59th most common cause of [disability adjusted life years] in the world.”

Global, Regional, and National Burden of Nontraumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 “… SAH incidence was 8.3… prevalence was 92.2… mortality was 4.2… per 100 000 people” #sah #aneurysm #neurosurgery jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Read our paper on risk of IA in ADPKD! Who needs screening? Thanks to @BernardBendokMD for his support and guidance throughout this work and @nuhguyin for his great lead on this. thejns.org/view/journals/…

"Nighttime treatment was defined when [>] 50% of the procedure was performed between 10pm&7am, with other times classified as daytime treatment. Off-hours treatment was defined when [>] 50% of the procedure was performed between 7pm&7am, with other times classified as on-hours."

"Aneurysm treatment during the nighttime... but not during off-hours... was independently associated with unfavorable outcomes."

"Given that this risk seems to be the highest among young individuals and during the first year after aSAH, early assessment and management of psychological distress, especially in young survivors of aSAH may be warranted."

"Survivors of aSAH are at excessive risk of suicide death in comparison with the general population."

"The primary clinical outcome, death or dependency at 1 year, was similar for EVT and surgery. This study provides the first randomized data on the surgery/embolization controversy since the last trial was completed 15 years ago."

"...compared the clinical outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) vs surgery for patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms excluded from previous randomized trials. This underpowered study showed longer hospitalizations but better 1-year angiographic results with surgery"
