BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to determine whether intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage have different incidence patterns based on monthly variations in meteorological and air pollution parameters in the Seongdong district of Seoul, South Korea. METHODS: From January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2014, 1,477 consecutive hemorrhagic stroke events (>19 years old) were registered among residents of the Seongdong district, Seoul, South Korea. The authors calculated the relative

Even after initially successful resuscitation, survival and neurological recovery is quite dismal in patients with cerebral lesions. Prognostic factors for neurosurgical patients should be assessed on an individual basis to determine medical futility in the early post-resuscitation period.

ABSTRACT: There are many grading scales that attempt to predict outcome following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Most scales used to assess outcome are based on the neurological status of the patient. Here, we propose a new scale for aSAH patients that combines the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the modified Fisher scale (mFS).Five hundred ninety-seven patients with aSAH who were treated at our institution between January 2008 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Initial GC

INTRODUCTION: Cerebrolysin is a neuroprotective drug used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. To our knowledge, this drug has never been evaluated in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Cerebrolysin in patients with aneurysmal SAH. METHODS: Aneurysmal SAH patients who had their aneurysm obliterated at our institution from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively studied. Patients received Cerebrolysin treatment or standard c

The results show diurnal patterns of ischemic stroke occurrence based on upper and lower median ozone levels for a 24-hour period, which extends understanding of the association between stroke occurrence and environmental influences.
