Nontraumatic pontine hemorrhage represents approximately 10% of all cases of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The predominant cause and symptom of pontine hemorrhage are hypertension and disturbance of consciousness, respectively.A 64-year-old man was Using death and functional status as end points, we prospectively analyzed the outcome 6 months after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in 166 patients admitted to an acute-care stroke unit on the first day of their stroke. Seventy-one patients (43%) died, 69 (42%) had a satisfactory outcome, and
Since 1960 the most useful and widely employed technique for transphenoidal hypophysectomy has generally been via the sublabial, transeptal approach. This procedure has offered excellent exposure, limited blood loss and a direct, midline approach through the sphenoid to the hypophysis, thus
BACKGROUND
Severe Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is associated with significant morbidity and also mortality. Identification of modifiable risk factors may help in reducing the morbidity and mortality.
OBJECTIVE
To study the prognostic factors in a selected cohort of mechanically ventilated GBS
OBJECTIVE
Because many stroke survivors have cognitive and communication disorders, self-reported information on a patient's quality of life (QL) cannot always be obtained. Proxy ratings may be used to prevent exclusion of this highly relevant subgroup of patients from QL studies. The purpose of
To test the hypothesis that increasing survival of infants at highest risk for long-term neurological sequelae has strengthened the associations between perinatal events and subsequent cerebral palsy (CP), we compared the prevalence rates for prematurity, low birthweight, congenital malformations,
BACKGROUND
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Important sequels are frequent, including dysphagia and communication disorders.
OBJECTIVE
to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and communication disorders following stroke, and to identify if communication disorders
Thrombolytic therapy is the only approved therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients. As part of the European approval process, the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke - Monitoring Study (SITS-MOST) was demanded as a Phase IV study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alteplase in a 3-h
BACKGROUND
The mortality of patients with Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) has varied widely with rates between 1-18%. Death results from pneumonia, sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and less frequently due to autonomic dysfunction or pulmonary embolism. There are only few studies
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether there is a relationship between inflammatory markers (serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines) and post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional observational study. Patients were recruited from 4 sources: (1) the acute stroke unit of
BACKGROUND
Pathologic findings of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and Alzheimer disease (AD) coexist frequently. Both diseases are associated with β-amyloid deposition and dementia. We aimed to evaluate frequency and clinicoradiological profile of AD patients with multiple microbleeds
The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke initiated the Stroke Data Bank, which is a multicenter project to prospectively collect data on the clinical course and sequelae of stroke. Additional objectives were to provide information that would enable a standard
