BACKGROUND
Foreign body aspiration is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly hospitalized patients. These are typically small items that patients have access to, including small coins.
METHODS
This is a case report of a 75-year-old man recently bedridden from a large hemispheric
OBJECTIVE
The success of thrombolytic therapy in acute stroke relies on timely reperfusion. The current study examines the efficacy of antiplatelet agents as adjuvants for thrombolytic therapy.
METHODS
Using an established rabbit model of clot embolization and a randomized blinded design, rabbits (n
Severe heat stroke may be associated with hypophosphatemia and hypocalcemia. Hypophosphatemia is generally observed within hours after onset, but hypocalcemia usually occurs on the second or third day, and after hypophosphatemia has undergone spontaneous correction. A young man displayed respiratory
BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress is a major contributor to brain damage in patients with ischaemic stroke. Uric acid (UA) is a potent endogenous antioxidant molecule. In experimental ischaemia in rats, the exogenous administration of uric acid is neuroprotective and enhances the effect of rtPA. Moreover,
BACKGROUND
Conflicting results on the relationship between the hardness of drinking water and mortality related to ischemic heart disease (IHD) or stroke have been reported.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the possible association between tap water calcium or magnesium concentration and total hardness and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the laboratory changes in dentin tubule occlusion morphology during short term use of desensitizing products as evaluated by electron microscopy and an image analysis.
METHODS
Freshly extracted human third molar teeth were collected at random and 40 dentin discs were
This study evaluated the effects of the short-term use of a dentifrice containing nano-sized carbonate apatite (n-CAP) on the occlusion of the dentinal tubules using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an image analyser in vitro. One hundred human dentine specimens were wet ground with a
The aim of this study was to investigate the wear of four nanofilled resin composites using simulated toothbrushing for 50,000 cycles with calcium carbonate slurry. The depth of abrasion and roughness (Ra) were measured after each 10,000 brushing cycle. The surface texture of the worn samples was
Ischemic stroke is a serious public health problem worldwide. Here, we characterized the metabolite features of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Forty AIS patients and 29 sex and age-matched controls were recruited. The serum metabolic
OBJECTIVE
Uric acid (UA) increases the neuroprotective effects of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in experimental ischemia. In patients with stroke, increased UA levels have been linked to better stroke recovery, but the clinical safety of dual administration of UA and rt-PA is
OBJECTIVE
Evidences from cultured cells and animal models of ischemia suggest that lithium has neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects and may play a desirable role in reducing infarct volume and even improving the brain insults from stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of
BACKGROUND
The natural history of patients with spontaneous parathyroid necrosis is unknown. In this case report we describe the clinical course, laboratory, radiographic, bone densitometry tests, parathyroid ultrasonography and scintigraphy examinations of a patient performed over a period of eight
Loss of gray matter after stroke has been associated with cognitive impairment. This pilot study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of lithium, a putative neurotrophic agent, in the stroke recovery process within a year of stroke A 57-year-old man with no personal or family history of manic-depressive disease developed symptoms of hypomania after a cerebrovascular accident and surgical trauma to the brain. The patient responded well to lithium carbonate treatment over a 2-year period. Although this therapy is contraindicated
