Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. More adults are affected by stroke each year than Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Hemorrhagic strokes represent the most severe
Stroke or unsufficient cerebral circulation is a non-traumatic disease due to occlusion or rupture of brain blood circulation characterized by neurological deficits such as loss of motor control, cognitive impairment, oral disorder or sensory changes in one half of the body resulting from changes.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can occur at any age, but usually affects children and young adults. The mean age of clinical presentation in pediatric cohorts ranges from 5 to 8 years. The annual incidence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is reported to be 0.4-0.8 per 100,000 and the
The primary endpoint of this research study is to prove safety in healthy subjects breathing humidified hypoxic inspiratory gas mixture for 5 days.
The secondary endpoint of our study is to describe the physiological and biochemical changes during the 5-day hypoxic period and the 2 days after return
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Introduction
Despite maintaining adequate mean arterial pressure and central venous oxygen saturation, the mortality is still high in severe sepsis and septic shock. Previous studies have demonstrated that derangements in microvascular flow play a role in sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction
First described over 100 years ago, superficial siderosis is a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by iron toxicity in the CNS due to chronic subarachnoid bleeding. Iron from red blood cells in the subarachnoid space is preferentially taken up by the Bergmann glia in the cerebellum, brainstem,
Relation between blood pressure and lethality in stroke: observational study.
Introduction:
Stroke is the leading cause of death and disabling sequelae in adults in Brazil (LESSA, 1999), and the 2nd cause in the world (GRYSIEWICZ & al. 2008).
Arterial hypertension (AH) is the major risk factor for
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by motor symptoms. Patients are initially treated successfully with drugs (e.g. levodopa), unfortunately use is limited due to severe side effects. In the advanced stages of PD neurosurgical treatment is the next
Title: Plasma and abscess fluid pharmacokinetics of cefpirome and moxifloxacin single dose and multiple dose administration.
Background: Extensive research in the field of abscess treatment has established a claim for invasive drainage as the most efficient means of resolving suppurative lesions. In
Study Population: All acute ischemic stroke patients treated with standard iv tPA therapy within 3 hours from stroke onset will be considered for study participation. Patient will be selected by criteria to minimize likelihood of toxicity and maximize likelihood of response. These criteria include
