Impressive study by the Stockholm group. Among young (<40y) aSAH survivors, 19.5% develop a new aneurysm and 4.2% had a new aSAH during a median follow-up of 24.7 yrs. Importantly, no rupture among those adhering to the surveillance program. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Critically important publication - will result in a clear change in management. We need to understand why these results are different from past publications, as this will provide a more rational basis for precision management of Hb levels in individual patients
A liberal transfusion strategy compared with a restrictive strategy resulted in a lower rate of unfavorable neurological outcome among patients with acute brain injury. ja.ma/3ZXqw2S #LIVES2024

📢 If you're interested in how the brain changes after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), check out the latest study by @LabLubin. The study focuses on cortical contusions, which often expand after TBI and are associated with worse clinical outcomes.
