While sexual headaches are usually harmless, they can sometimes indicate a life-threatening condition.

A study led by the University of California, Irvine has identified a new cause of brain hemorrhages that does not involve injury to blood vessels. The research found that interactions between aged red blood cells and brain capillaries can lead to cerebral microbleeds, providing insights into their formation and potential therapeutic targets. The study observed how red blood cells stall in brain capillaries and are then cleared out, leading to the formation of a brain hemorrhage. This discovery expands our understanding of the mechanism behind cerebral microbleeds and may have significant clinical implications for treatment and prevention.
Actress Sharon Stone revealed in an interview with Vogue that doctors initially dismissed her brain hemorrhage in 2001, thinking she was "faking" her symptoms.

A seven-week-old baby named William died after doctors at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge failed to administer a routine vitamin K injection at birth. Vitamin K is given to prevent a deficiency that can lead to uncontrollable bleeding and brain hemorrhage in newborns.

The parents described the situation as "beyond cruel" and expressed their grief over the loss of their child.
A new study presented at the European Stroke Organisation Conference reveals that a combination of treatments, including rapid control of high blood pressure, can significantly improve survival rates and reduce disability for patients suffering from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a type of stroke. The study suggests that this new treatment protocol, known as a Care Bundle, could save tens of thousands of lives globally if universally adopted. The protocol was found to be especially beneficial for low- to middle-income countries where the majority of brain hemorrhage cases occur. The research team enrolled over 7,000 patients across 144 hospitals in 10 countries and found that the new treatment protocol reduced the likelihood of a poor functional outcome and demonstrated an improvement in health-related quality of life.
