Tobacco smoke increases the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), as well as complications such as vasospasm. Most patients presenting with aneurysmal SAH smoke, and many survivors continue to smoke after discharge. Neurosurgeons often hesitate to use nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
BACKGROUND
Smoking is one of the most important risk factors for cerebral circulatory disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on nicotine-induced contraction (arachidonic acid metabolites) in the basilar arteries of
BACKGROUND
Smoking is one of the most important risk factors for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of experimental SAH and arachidonic acid metabolites on nicotine-induced contraction in the rat basilar artery.
METHODS
Rats were killed at 1
OBJECTIVE
Swedish snuff is a particular form of non-smoking tobacco with high nicotine content. It is unknown whether this form of tobacco is a risk factor similar to smoking for suffering subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). In the present study we report our finding concerning smoking and snuff as risk
BACKGROUND
Cigarette smoking is associated with symptomatic vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
METHODS
Rat basilar arteries of a normal group and SAH groups (1 hour, 2 days, and 1 week) were removed from the brain and cut into spiral preparations.
RESULTS
A central nervous system (CNS)
OBJECTIVE
The association between smoking and intracranial aneurysms is now well recognized. However, the relationship between tobacco use and outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not as well understood and published results are contradictory. The purpose of this study is to
OBJECTIVE
A significant number of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are active smokers and at risk for acute nicotine withdrawal. There is conflicting literature regarding the vascular effects of nicotine and theoretical concern that it may worsen vasospasm. The literature on the
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the safety of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in active smokers with acute (aneurysmal) subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
METHODS
A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in a prospectively collected database including all SAH patients admitted to an 18-bed
BACKGROUND
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in pregnancy occurs because of a variety of etiologies, which range from ruptured aneurysms to benign venous bleeding. The more malignant etiologies represent an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. We sought to investigate the epidemiology
BACKGROUND
Perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (P-SAH) is a benign subset of subarachnoid hemorrhage with a favorable prognosis and low rate of re-bleeding. Risk factors may include hypertension and tobacco use, but it has not previously been reported during pregnancy.
METHODS
We report two
OBJECTIVE
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating illness with nationwide mortality rates reaching almost 50% within the first 30 days. A study was undertaken to evaluate how treatment modality, physical findings, and geo-demography contribute to the outcome of these cases,
Our objective was to provide a comprehensive review of the epidemiologic evidence relating stroke to exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (passive smoking) in lifelong nonsmokers. In all, 7 prospective, 6 case-control, and 3 cross-sectional studies were identified that provided relevant
Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death in hypertensive patients. They occur more often in tobacco smokers. The effect of nicotine activity is insulin resistance leading to lipid disorders which are risk factor for atherosclerosis. Smoking and hypertension intensify the atherogenic
OBJECTIVE
This study examined the association of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) during adulthood with stroke and its subtypes using data from a large-scale prospective cohort study in Japan.
METHODS
The study population included 36,021 never-smoking Japanese women who were enrolled
OBJECTIVE
The outcomes associated with transdermal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in a neurosurgery intensive care unit (ICU) were studied.
METHODS
Data from pharmacy records, neurosurgery ICU admission logs, and computerized patient charts at the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago
