Abstract:Background and Objectives:Perihematomal edema (PHE) contributes to poor outcome after deep intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH), which is characterized by neuroinflammation and an influx of peripherally derived innate immune cells. We previously identified soluble ST2 (sST2) as a candidate for immune-mediated secondary brain injury. Leveraging prospectively collected cohorts from two centers, we sought to determine if sST2 was associated with functional outcome, PHE and the immune response following IPH.Methods:P… Show more
“…Optic nerve sheath diameter is another noninvasive bedside tool used to detect elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP), although there are issues with interrater variability 55 and differences in normative values between men and women. 56 Serum markers including endothelin-1, 57 matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), 58 and soluble serum stimulation-2 59 have been associated with edema but are not available for routine clinical use. ICP monitoring is not recommended on the basis that clinical deterioration and outcomes cannot be reliably predicted.…”
This review delves into updates in management of large hemispheric infarction (LHI), a condition affecting up to 10% of patients with supratentorial strokes. While traditional management paradigms have endured, recent strides in research have revolutionized the approach to acute therapies, monitoring, and treatment. Notably, advancements in triage methodologies and the application of both pharmacological and mechanical abortive procedures have reshaped the acute care trajectory for patients with LHI. Moreover, ongoing endeavors have sought to refine strategies for the optimal surveillance and mitigation of complications, notably space-occupying mass effect, which can ensue in the aftermath of LHI. By amalgamating contemporary guidelines with cutting-edge clinical trial findings, this review offers a comprehensive exploration of the current landscape of acute and ongoing patient care for LHI, illuminating the evolving strategies that underpin effective management in this critical clinical domain.

“…In this issue of Neurology ®, Bevers et al 5 publish a study that looks at the association of serum soluble suppression in tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) with PHE, peripheral blood immune response, and functional outcome of patients with ICH. Interleukin 33 (IL-33) and ST2 ligand-receptor system represents interleukin signaling pathway, and the interaction between sST2 receptor with IL-33 blocks the IL-33/ST2L system leading to proinflammatory response.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
