Abstract
BACKGROUND Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm resulting in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening situation. Obesity is an increasing health challenge associated with numerous comorbidities. However, recent studies have shown a surprising decreased risk of SAH with increasing body mass index (BMI). The aim was to explore associations between other anthropometric variables and the rupture risk of an intracranial aneurysm, which to our knowledge is lacking in present literature. METHODS Using a bioelectrical impedance analysis device, we performed body composition analyses on 31 patients admitted with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) and 28 patients with planned intervention on their unruptured aneurysm. We also collected information on comorbidities and relevant risk factors. Logistic regression was used to explore associations between anthropometric variables and patients with ruptured versus unruptured aneurysms. RESULTS Unadjusted estimates showed a significant inverse relationship between body fat percent and aneurysmal rupture (OR [95% CI]: 0.92 [0.86, 0.97], P = 0.009), and between body fat mass and aneurysmal rupture (OR [95% CI]: 0.95 [0.90, 0.99], P = 0.047). These risk relationships remained significant in age- and sex-adjusted analyses for body fat percent (OR [95% CI]: 0.93, [0.87, 0.97], P = 0.028), and body fat mass (OR [95% CI]: 0.95 [0.90, 0.99], P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS In recent studies showing a paradoxical relation between aSAH and obesity, BMI was the only parameter investigated. We further explored this "obesity paradox" and found lower body fat in aSAH patients compared to UIA. Future studies should investigate these relationships in larger samples. Clinical Trial Registration NCT04613427, November 3, 2020, retrospectively registered.

Abstract
Many vascular diseases are linked to lipid metabolism disorders, which cause lipid accumulation and peroxidation in the vascular wall. These processes lead to degenerative changes in the vessel, such as phenotypic transformation of smooth muscle cells and dysfunction and apoptosis of endothelial cells. In intracranial aneurysms, the coexistence of lipid plaques is often observed, indicating localized lipid metabolism disorders. These disorders may impair the function of the vascular wall or result from it. We summarize the literature on the relationship between lipid metabolism disorders and intracranial aneurysms below.

Abstract
Background Statistically, Anterior communicating aneurysm (ACoA) accounts for 30 to 35% of intracranial aneurysms. ACoA, once ruptured, will have an acute onset and cause severe neurological dysfunction and even death. Therefore, clinical analysis of risk factors related to ACoA and the establishment of prediction model are the benefits to the primary prevention of ACoA. Methods Among 1,436 cases of single ACoA patients, we screened 1,325 valid cases, classified risk factors of 1,124 cases in the ruptured group and 201 cases in the unruptured group, and assessed the risk factors, respectively, and predicted the risk of single ACoA rupture by using the logistic regression and the machine learning. Results In the ruptured group (84.8%) of 1,124 cases and the unruptured group (15.2%) of 201 cases, the multivariable logistic regression (MLR) model shows hemorrhagic stroke history (OR 95%CI, p:0.233 (0.120-0.454),<0.001) and the age stratification of 60-69 years (OR 95%CI, p:0.425 (0.271-0.668),<0.001) has a significant statistic difference. In the RandomForest (RF) model, hemorrhagic stroke history and age are the best predictive factors. Conclusion We combined the analysis of MLR, RF, and PCA models to conclude that hemorrhagic stroke history and gender affect single ACoA rupture. The RF model with web dynamic nomogram, allows for real-time personalized analysis based on different patients' conditions, which is a tremendous advantage for the primary prevention of single ACoA rupture.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have highlighted the cardio-cerebrovascular manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objective This study aimed to analyze the likelihood of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular manifestations among patients with COVID-19-positive individuals in South Korea. Methods A cohort database for COVID-19 from the National Health Insurance Service was used which included patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between January 1 and June 4, 2020. Individuals who tested COVID-19 positive, notwithstanding the severity of the disease, were designated as cases. COVID-19- negative individuals were used as controls for the study. The exclusion criteria included people who had a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases between 2015 and 2019. A new diagnosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications was considered the primary endpoint. The adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of development of complications was estimated using log-link Poisson regression. The model was adjusted at two levels, the first one included age and sex while the second included age, sex, residence area, and level of income. The hazard ratio (HR) was estimated using Cox-proportional hazard regression analysis while adjusting for all demographic variables and covariates. Results Significant results were obtained for acute conditions, such as ischemic heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage. The IRR of COVID-19- positive individuals compared with that of controls for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was 1.78 (1.57-2.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]) when adjusted for age and sex. HR was calculated as 3.02 (2.19-4.17; 95% CI) after adjusting for the covariates. In case of cerebral hemorrhage, the adjusted IRR was 2.06 (1.25-3.40; 95% CI) and the adjusted HR was 4.08 (0.90-19.19; 95% CI). Conclusion The findings of our study suggest that COVID-19 infection can be a significant risk factor for acute cardiovascular complications, such as ischemic heart disease and acute cerebrovascular complications, such as cerebral infarction, after properly adjusting for covariates.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of symptomatic arrhythmias, which was induced by multiple causes and dyslipidemia is a well-known causal factor for the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Interestingly, emerging data has suggested that lipid disorder may be also associated with AF. Several previous studies have shown a link of the prevalence of AF with decreased concentration of low-density lipoproteins (LDL)-cholesterol, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoproteins (HDL)-cholesterol, and elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. In this manuscript, we try to summarize the current evidence regarding the relation of dyslipidemia to the incident AF, present the potential lipid-related mechanisms of AF development, which is involved in cell membrane properties, LDL-receptors reduction, reverse cholesterol transport, adiposity-induced inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Such information may boost our understandings concerning the lipid disorder and AF, which may help future exploration in the link of dyslipidemia and AF.

Analysis of Clinical Effects of Comprehensive Nursing Based on Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in Patients with Embolization for Intracranial Aneurysms. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3026680. [PMID: 35844437 PMCID: PMC9286944 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3026680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective. This research sets out to elucidate the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients with embolization for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Methods. This study enrolled 119 patients with embolization for IAs in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2020 to January 2021 and divided them into two groups according to the perioperative care they received: a control group (
) treated with routine perioperative nursing and an observation group (
) treated with ERAS-based comprehensive nursing. Surgical indicators, neurological function (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score; Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) score), anxiety and depression (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score; Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score), incidence of adverse events, and patient satisfaction were compared. Results. The observation group had better surgical indicators and lower scores of NIHSS, SSS, SAS, and SDS than the control group, accompanied by a lower incidence of adverse events and higher patient satisfaction. Conclusions. ERAS-based comprehensive nursing can better promote patients’ neurological recovery after embolization for IAs, relieve unhealthy emotions (depression, anxiety, etc.), and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, facilitating patient discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting experimental evidence supports the concept that the RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) is involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm rupture. However, whether RAAS inhibitors could reduce the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms remains unclear. METHODS We performed a chart review of a multicenter, prospectively maintained database of 3044 hypertensive patients with intracranial aneurysms from 20 medical centers in China. The patients were separated into ruptured and unruptured groups. Univariable and multivariable logistical regression analyses were performed to determine the association between the use of RAAS inhibitors and the rupture risk. Sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were performed to verify the robustness of the results. RESULTS In multivariable analyses, female sex, passive smoking, uncontrolled, or unmonitored hypertension, use of over 2 antihypertensive medications, RAAS inhibitors use, antihyperglycemic agents use, hyperlipidemia, ischemic stroke, and aneurysmal location were independently associated with the rupture risk. The use of RAAS inhibitors was significantly associated with a reduced rupture risk compared with the use of non-RAAS inhibitors (odds ratio, 0.490 [95% CI, 0.402-0.597]; P=0.000). Compared with the use of non-RAAS inhibitors, the use of ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors (odds ratio, 0.559 [95% CI, 0.442-0.709]; P=0.000) and use of ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers; odds ratio, 0.414 [95% CI, 0.315-0.542]; P=0.000) were both significantly associated with a reduced rupture risk. The negative association of the rupture risk with RAAS inhibitors was consistent across 3 analyzed data and the predefined subgroups (including controlled hypertension). CONCLUSIONS The use of RAAS inhibitors was significantly associated with a decreased rupture risk independent of blood pressure control among hypertensive patients with intracranial aneurysms.
