Opinion statement

Cerebral vasospasm (cVSP) consists of the vasoconstriction of large and small intracranial vessels which can lead to cerebral hypoperfusion, and in extreme cases, delayed ischemic deficits with stroke. While most commonly observed after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), cVSP can also occur after traumatic brain injury (TBI) as we have described in detail in this review. For the past decades, the research attention has focused on cVSP because of its association with delayed cerebral ischemia, which is the largest contributor of morbidity and mortality after aSAH. New discoveries in the cVSP pathophysiology involving multifactorial complex cascades and pathways pose new targets for therapeutic interventions in the prevention and treatment of cVSP. The goal of this review is to demonstrate the commonalities and differences in epidemiology and pathophysiology of both aSAH and TBI-associated cVSP, and highlight the more recently discovered pathways of cVSP. Finally, the latest cVSP surveillance methods and treatment options are illustrated.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

17.05.2024 Direkte orale Antikoagulanzien Nachrichten

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Thrombektomie auch bei großen Infarkten von Vorteil

Auch ein sehr ausgedehnter ischämischer Schlaganfall scheint an sich kein Grund zu sein, von einer mechanischen Thrombektomie abzusehen. Dafür spricht die LASTE-Studie, an der Patienten und Patientinnen mit einem ASPECTS von maximal 5 beteiligt waren.

Wenn jüngere Menschen über ständig rezidivierenden Lagerungsschwindel klagen, könnte eine Massagepistole der Auslöser sein. In JAMA Otolaryngology warnt ein Team vor der Anwendung hochpotenter Geräte im Bereich des Nackens.

10.05.2024 Morbus Alzheimer Nachrichten

Konsumieren Menschen täglich 7 Gramm Olivenöl, ist ihr Risiko, an einer Demenz zu sterben, um mehr als ein Viertel reduziert – und dies weitgehend unabhängig von ihrer sonstigen Ernährung. Dafür sprechen Auswertungen zweier großer US-Studien.
