Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment guidelines include various recommendations for treatment once the patient arrives at the hospital. Prehospital care recommendations, however, are limited to expeditious transport to a qualified hospital and supportive care. The literature has insufficiently
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to compare the relative efficacy of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and amantadine for the treatment of fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS).
METHODS
A 10-week, randomized double-blind crossover clinical trial conducted from October 2009 to September 2010. Fifty-two
We already showed that group IV muscle afferents are activated during electrically-induced fatigue. The purpose of this study is to identify the mechanisms of stimulation of these muscle afferents by electrically-induced fatigue at a high (100 Hz; high frequency fatigue, HFF) or a low rate (10 Hz;
BACKGROUND
This review updates the original review, 'Pharmacological treatments for fatigue associated with palliative care' and also incorporates the review 'Drug therapy for the management of cancer-related fatigue'.In healthy individuals, fatigue is a protective response to physical or mental
Chronic fatigue, in its various manifestations, frequently co-occur with pain, sleep disturbances and depression and is a non-communicable condition which is rapidly becoming endemic worldwide. However, it is handicapped by a lack of objective definitions and diagnostic measures. This has prompted
A double-blind randomised investigation with placebo control was undertaken to investigate the effect of 10 mg diazepam rectally or 1 g acetyl salicylic acid as effervescing tablets on pain and nervousness during and after outpatient cervical curettage and biopsy from the vaginal cervix or the
Atrial fibrillation is the most common supraventricular tachyarrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, affecting over 5% of persons over the age of 65 years. A common pathophysiological mechanism for arrhythmia development is atrial distention and fibrosis induced by hypertension, coronary artery
The goals of stable angina pectoris treatment are: (i) symptom relief and increase in angina-free walking time; and (ii) reduction of mortality and adverse outcome. Strategies used for plaque stabilisation resulting in a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity are: smoking cessation;
A 13-year-old girl presented with lassitude, polyuria and hypokalemia. Plasma renin concentration and urinary prostaglandin excretion were elevated, whereas plasma aldosterone concentration, urinary aldosterone excretion and blood pressure were normal. A diagnosis of Bartter's syndrome was made. The
Several animal studies have demonstrated that pain is modulated by spinal mechanisms involving prostaglandins and that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) administered intrathecally has an analgesic effect. We report our experience of this treatment in 60 patients with proven and advanced cancer. An isobaric
The in vitro test of direct granulation of basophils affected by specific antigens (cardial tissue, acid-soluble fraction of collagen, streptococcal allergens) was investigated in the course of treating 41 patients (29 women and 12 men aged from 20 to 50 years) suffering from a little active
Background Various pathophysiological mechanisms such as microvascular and endothelial dysfunction, small vessel disease, diffuse atherosclerosis, and inflammation have been held responsible in the etiology of coronary slow flow. It is also thought to be a reflection of a systemic slow-flow
A single-dose, double-blind study included a total of 196 patients with neurologic pain. The subjects were subdivided into five groups and treated with alpha-methyl-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl) benzene acetic acid (suprofen, Suprol) 400 mg; suprofen 200 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 650 mg; ASA 650 plus
BACKGROUND
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) is an acquired myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) characterized by excessive production of platelets. The disorder is usually affecting adults and is rarely diagnosed in children.
METHODS
In this retrospective study we describe 12 children aged 5-16 years in
Coronary artery fistulas (CAF) are the most common congenital anomaly of this vessel. We present the case of a 26-year-old man with two coexisting congenital cardiac defects: patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and CAF. The patient 3 months earlier had the transcatheter PDA closed (type A, diameter 4 mm)
