https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/witchcraft_visualisation/a-whirlwind-of-witchcraft-visualisations/
This week I focused my efforts on creating more visualisations related to the witchcraft data that had been uploaded onto Wikidata.

Counting cavitating lacunes underestimates the burden of lacunar infarction
On brain imaging, lacunes, or cerebrospinal fluid-containing cavities, are common and are often counted in epidemiological studies as old lacunar infarcts. The proportion of symptomatic lacunar infarcts that progress to lacunes is unknown. Noncavitating lacunar infarcts may continue to resemble white matter lesions. METHODS: We identified patients with acute lacunar stroke, with or without an […]
