PMC11461946_1 | Traditional management of OCSDH typically involves a large craniotomy with hematoma removal and durotomy. While aggressive surgery involving total removal of the abnormal proliferative membrane and hematoma is effective, this approach is highly invasive. It carries significant risks, including infection, bleeding, gene... |
PMC11461946_0 | OCSDH represents a complex progression of CSDH, characterized by a thick, vascularized membrane surrounding the hematoma. This neovascularization and membrane formation contribute to the persistence and resistance of the hematoma. Factors such as inflammation, angiogenesis, and coagulopathy are believed to play key rol... |
PMC11569471_0 | Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) have traditionally been treated via burr hole evacuation or craniotomy, but there is a high rate of recurrence, ranging from 10β20%.

PMC11794975_1 | CGRP is a vasoactive neuropeptide that is widely expressed in both central and peripheral nervous systems. Previous studies have attempted to investigate the relationship between CGRP and cortical spreading depression (CSD) in the genesis of migraine aura. Some authors suggest that the increase of extracellular potassi... |
PMC11587153_5 | A basic study has reported on the inhibitory effects of CGRP mAb and gepant on CSD. Cortical slice studies showed that the blockage of CGRP receptors in vitro resulted in the inhibition of CSD. CGRP mAbs do not cross the bloodβbrain barrier. Therefore, they are thought to act on the trigeminal nerve outside of this bar... |
PMC11587153_2 | There is abundant evidence that CSD is responsible for neuronal inflammation and the activation of the central and peripheral trigeminal nerves in migraines. During CSD, neurons, glia, and vascular cells locally release adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glutamate, potassium, and hydrogen ions, while activated perivascular ... |
PMC11857675_24 | Corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for irAEs, including myocarditis.

PMC11349625_4 | In general, irAE has been managed with ICI discontinuation and systemic corticosteroid administration. If improvement is limited, immunosuppressive agents may be administered as the next treatment (13, 14). In previous reports, four out of six cases achieved remission with only discontinuation of ICIs and systemic cort... |
PMC11625816_4 | Photodynamic therapy may serve as an important adjunctive treatment following ICIs. Existing clinical data indicate that photodynamic therapy can significantly inhibit tumor progression and is one of the important palliative treatments for advanced stages of the disease, often serving as adjuvant therapy following radi... |
PMC11700999_7 | At present, the management of irAEs predominantly relies on clinical expertise and is conducted in accordance with the grading criteria established by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
