A combined approach of Interleukin-8 and magnetic resonance neurography to differentiate Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Xiao et al.

Published online: December 3, 2025

 

This retrospective study included 130 patients, comprising 73 with GBS and 57 with CIDP. CSF samples were obtained at initial presentation, and IL-8 concentrations were quantified using flow cytometry. MRN was performed with maximum intensity projection to reconstruct the lumbosacral plexus, and cross-sectional areas (CSA) of lumbar nerve roots were measured. Statistical analyses involved independent t-tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to assess diagnostic performance.

Poor outcome increase with baseline severity of lateral striatocapsular hemorrhages

Avram et al.

Published online: December 8, 2025

 

A retrospective analysis was conducted of LSCH patients admitted to the unit between January 2005 and October 2019. Factors associated with poor outcomes (mRS >2) were identified using logistic regression. The performance of identified predictors, both individually and in combination, was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and its 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Comparison of outcomes among generations in endovascular treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms: insights from a single-center study

Matsukawa et al.

Published online: December 1, 2025

 

This study's objective was to examine whether BZD exposure, duration and elimination half-life are independently associated with incident dementia, and explore confounding by the prodromal period.

Severe cerebral small vessel disease burden is associated with intraventricular extension of intracerebral hemorrhage

Sato et al.

Published online: December 1, 2025

 

Factors associated with intraventricular extension (IE) following intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between IE and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in patients with ICH.
