Identification of High-Risk Atypical Meningiomas According to Semantic and Radiomic Features
2020
Up to 60% of atypical meningiomas (World Health Organization (WHO) grade II) reoccur within 5 years after resection. However, no clear radiological criteria exist to identify tumors with higher risk of relapse. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of certain radiomic and semantic features of atypical meningiomas in MRI with tumor recurrence. We identified patients operated on primary atypical meningiomas in our department from 2007 to 2017. An analysis of 13 quantitatively defined radiomic and 11 qualitatively defined semantic criteria was performed based on preoperative MRI scans. Imaging characteristics were assessed along with clinical and survival data. The analysis include…
The Influence of Oxidative Stress on Neurological Outcomes in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
2021
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes, besides the primary brain injury, a secondary brain injury (SBI), which is induced, amongst other things, by oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation, determining the patient’s outcome. This study aims to assess the impact of OS in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on clinical outcomes in patients with ICH. A total of 19 ICH (volume >
Comparative analysis of fibrinolytic properties of Alteplase, Tenecteplase and Urokinase in an in vitro clot model of intracerebral haemorrhage.
2020
Abstract Objective Hematoma lysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) has emerged as an alternative therapy for spontaneous intracerebral and intraventricular haemorrhage (ICH and IVH). However, the MISTIE III and CLEAR III trial failed to show significant improvement of favourable outcomes. Besides experimental and clinical trials revealed neurotoxic effects of rtPA. The demand for optimization of fibrinolytic therapy persists. Herein, we used our recently devised clot model of ICH to systematically analyse fibrinolytic properties of rtPA, tenecteplase and urokinase. Methods In vitro clots of human blood (size: 25 ml and 50 ml; age: 1.5 tenecteplase, 24 tenecteplase and 48…
