The frequency of prolonged muscular flaccidity (PMF) was examined in a series of stroke patients in chronic phase suffering from hemiplegia with minimal spontaneous recovery (MSR). The results indicated that in such a population with poor motor recovery, PMF was significantly more frequent than
Patients with a motor deficit due to ischaemic stroke usually develop muscular spasticity, but in some cases they may remain with a prolonged muscular flaccidity which impairs their recovery. Little is known about the causes of these two different functional outcomes. We correlated CT/MRI and 99mTc
OBJECTIVE
To investigate recovery patterns and potential prognostic factors of pediatric stroke.
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
Acute rehabilitation at a university-based children's hospital.
METHODS
Children (N=44; 25 boys, 19 girls; age range, 8mo-17y) with diagnosis of first-ever
BACKGROUND
Arterial gas embolism (AGE) is a main iatrogenic complication resulting from the use of invasive procedures. It is difficult to diagnose if it is not clinically suspected.
METHODS
A 67-year-old male patient, with a history of interventions involving a mitral prosthesis and a double
Ischemic stroke following viper bite is rare. We report a case of posterior circulation ischemic infarction following viper bite in a previously healthy woman. Soon after being bitten by the snake on the left leg, she developed local redness, echymosis and one hour later became drowsy. On
Joubert syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of childhood that is characterized by hypoplasia or agenesis of the cerebellar vermis in addition to brainstem malformations. Ataxia, hypotonia, developmental delay, and apnea-hyperpnea are the most prominent clinical symptoms of Joubert syndrome, but this
Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism. Children with SSADH deficiency usually manifest with developmental delay, behavioral symptoms, language dysfunction, seizures, hypotonia, extrapyramidal symptoms, and
Twelve patients (9 women, 3 men, mean age 26.8 +/- 5.02 years) with spontaneous isolated dissection of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) were studied. Eleven patients (92%) developed ischemic stroke, 1 patient (8%)--transient ischemic attack (TIA). All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging
The role of the "heat stroke" is discussed on account of an observation of hyperthermia (42 degrees C or 107.6 Farenheit) that occured with a patient under fluphenazine decanoate, during the summer 1976 heat wave. Contrary to the American descriptions of heat strokes, the patient kept his perspiring
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a functional electrical stimulation (FES) treatment program designed to prevent glenohumeral joint stretching and subsequent subluxation and shoulder pain in stroke patients. Twenty-six recent hemiplegic stroke patients with shoulder
The effects of preganglionic decentralization of (sympathetic trunk resection) or post-ganglionic excision (ganglionectomy) of the superior cervical ganglia on cerebral blood flow and the formation of heat stroke were assessed in rabbits. An intravenous isotope method for external measurement of
We prospectively studied motor symptoms in 32 patients with CT- or MRI-proven acute pure parietal stroke. A transient, mild, 'pseudoparesis' of the hand (90%), was noted, improved by visual attention and prompting, associated with non-awareness of muscle power (53%), transient soft pyramidal signs
Twenty-nine patients with acute atherothrombotic ischemic stroke and 36 patients with acute Q-wave myocardial infarction have been studied. Each group has been stratified into 2 subgroups: patients of subgroups A received an ACE inhibitor perindopril in the complex therapy from the 1st day of
BACKGROUND
Baclofen is a centrally acting gamma-aminobutyric acid agonist used for the symptomatic relief of skeletal muscle spasm and spasticity in traumatic spinal cord lesions, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and stroke. It is also used in the treatment of chronic hiccups and cocaine abuse.
To develop an experimental model of thromboembolic stroke without intracranial surgery, an autologous blood clot was delivered to the middle cerebral artery (MCA) via the internal carotid artery in cynomolgus monkeys. Male cynomolgus monkeys, in which a chronic catheter had been earlier implanted in
