Purpose To describe the epidemiology, diagnosis, microbiological findings, clinical features, and outcomes of infectious spondylodiscitis (IS). Methods Retrospective analysis of 98 IS patients (2010–2023 - Trieste Hospital). Clinical, radiological, and microbiological data analysed, multivariate logistic regression assessed risk factors for poor outcomes. Results The incidence of IS was 3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year...

Brain electrical activity in acute ischemic stroke is related to the hypoperfusion of cerebral tissue as manifestation of neurovascular coupling. EEG could be applicable for bedside functional monitoring in emergency settings. We aimed to investigate the relation between hyper-acute ischemic stroke EEG changes, measured with bedside wireless-EEG, and hypoperfused core-penumbra CT-perfusion (CTP) volumes. In addition, we invest...
