The bidirectional causal relationship between ischemic stroke(IS) and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) remains unclear, prompting us to propose a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study to investigate this relationship further. ⋯ IBD and its subtypes were not found to be causally associated with the risk of IS, whereas IS was found to be causally associated with the risk of CD and UC. This suggests that the risks of CD and UC should be closely monitored in patients with IS.

Different from typical primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), early-stage atypical PCNSL usually presents as patchy signal abnormalities without evident mass effect or significant contrast-enhancement and is prone to confusion with low-grade glioma (LGG). This study aims to develop an MRI-based radiomics model to differentiate early-stage atypical PCNSL from LGG. ⋯ The MRI-based radiomics model can accurately differentiate early-stage atypical PCNSL from LGG with similar radiological manifestations, allowing early-stage atypical PCNSL patients to receive timely and appropriate radiotherapy or chemotherapy while avoiding unnecessary surgical resection.

Neuroendovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms is considered a basic procedure for neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists; however, its critical technical nuances, termed "tacit knowledge," are challenging to impart. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of our novel video recording and editing method in enhancing trainees' experience. ⋯ Our hybrid and wearable recording and editing methods facilitated the propagation of tacit knowledge of coil embolization and enhanced surgical education by enabling more efficient learning of technical tips.
