Hyperglycemia has a deleterious effect on brain ischemia. However, the effect of hyperglycemia in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is not well known. We investigated the effect of hyperglycemia on the development of brain edema and perihematomal cell death in ICH. ⋯ Hyperglycemia caused more profound brain edema and perihematomal cell death in experimental ICH.

The goal of this study was to examine the impact of hospital characteristics on outcome after the treatment of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms. ⋯ Hospital procedural volume and the propensity of a hospital to use endovascular therapy are both independently associated with better outcome. Improvement in outcome could be achieved by a program of regionalization and selective referral for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
