Hemorrhagic transformation after endovascular therapy - Asymptomatic or agnostic? [JNS457 Editor's Choice]

13 Mar 2024

Perhaps, the stroke community is agnostic to ever knowing or realizing the actual causal relationship of HT with respect to individual patient-related factors or specific treatments, including combinations with IVT and EVT. It is also quite arbitrary to designate certain cases of HT as “asymptomatic” when we truly cannot disprove a link with symptoms or long-term clinical outcomes. In short, it is increasingly clear that our current definitions of HT require an update in 2024.

While some forms of Parkinson’s disease are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. In a paper published in The Lancet Neurology, a group of scientists argue that this complexity demands a new way of classifying the disease for research purposes, one based not on clinical diagnosis but biology. The authors have called their biological model “SynNeurGe”.
