Specifically, excitatory intermittent TBS (iTBS) increases, whereas inhibitory continuous TBS (cTBS) decreases this functional connectivity. We hypothesized that iTBS on the cerebellum will improve working memory, whereas cTBS will disrupt it. Sixteen healthy participants (10 women) participated in this study. Bilateral cerebellar stimulation was applied with a figure-of-eight coil at 3 cm lateral and 1 cm below the inion.

The planned comparison showed that the cTBS condition had significantly lower scores than the sham condition (p = 0.01). iTBS and cTBS did not affect performance in the 1- and 2-Back and the digit span forward tasks compared to sham stimulation.

The study included 68 SCH patients who received mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h, with 39 cases (57.3%) resulting in successful extubation. The multivariate analysis identified four factors significantly associated with extubation success: patient age under 66 years, an Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) score less than 4 points, the presence of tissue shift, and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (excluding language) above 6 points at extubation. By simplifying the prediction model, we obtained the Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage Extubation Success scoring system (SCHES-SCORE). Within the scoring system, 2 points were allocated for a GCS score (excluding language) above 6 at extubation, 1 point each for age under 66 years and an ICH score below 4, while tissue shift was assigned a negative point. A score of Grade A (SCHES-SCORE = 3-4) was found to correlate with a 92.9% success rate for extubation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.923 (95% CI, 0.863 to 0.983). Notably, successful extubation was significantly linked to reduced durations of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and total hospital stay. In conclusion, the scoring system developed for assessing extubation outcomes in SCH patients has the potential to enhance the rate of successful extubation and overall patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":50706,"journal":{"name":"Cerebellum","volume":" ","pages":"2372-2382"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
