Role of aneurysmal hemodynamic changes in pathogenesis of headaches associated with unruptured cerebral aneurysms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: One symptom commonly associated with the presence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is headache. In this study, the authors aimed to analyze factors associated with headaches among patients with intracranial aneurysms, with special consideration of hemodynamic parameters. METHODS: The authors prospectively included 96 patients with 122 unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The authors obtained detailed medical history including current diseases and medications, as well as blood pressure values taken during hospitalization from the patients' medical records. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire was administered to each patient at admission and 3-6 months after the procedure to assess type and severity of headache. Based on imaging data, the authors obtained 3D reconstruction of each patients' aneurysm dome with feeding artery. The authors performed computational fluid dynamics analysis of blood flow through prepared models using OpenFOAM. Blood was modeled as Newtonian fluid, using the incompressible transient solver. Patient-specific internal carotid artery (ICA) blood velocity waves obtained with Doppler ultrasound were set as inlet boundary conditions. After performing simulation, the authors calculated the hemodynamic parameters of the aneurysm dome. RESULTS: A total of 30 patients (31.25%) reported having headaches. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, female sex (OR 2.81, 95% CI 2.51-4.86; p < 0.01), ICA aneurysm location (OR 7.93, 95% CI 5.51-8.52; p < 0.01), multiple aneurysms (OR 6.05, 95% CI 1.83-11.83; p = 0.02), mean dome blood velocity (OR 3.10, 95% CI 2.01-3.30; p < 0.01) and time-averaged wall shear stress (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.47-2.72; p = 0.04) were independently associated with the presence of headache. Additionally, 17 patients (56.67%) reported complete relief of symptoms after the procedure. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the mean blood flow in the ICA was independently associated with complete resolution of headaches after aneurysm treatment (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.57-3.28; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Hemodynamic parameters of intracranial aneurysms might be associated with headaches and their relief after aneurysm treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
