White matter hyperintensities (WMH) predict incident strokes and new lacunes; moreover, WMH may also affect infarct locations. Our aim in this study was to examine the spatial relationship between WMH and acute lacunar infarction. ⋯ Half of lacunar infarctions were located at the edge of WMH. Both periventricular WMH and deep WMH were predictors for edge-localized infarction.

This study aimed to determine the frequency and determinant factors of do not resuscitate (DNR) orders in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at a university hospital in China. ⋯ DNR orders were not used commonly for patients with ICH in this Chinese sample. No relationship between ICH severity and DNR decision making was observed.
