Intracerebral hemorrhage in combination with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a severe type of stroke frequently leading to prolonged clinical care, continuous disability, shunt dependency, and high mortality. The molecular mechanisms induced by IVH are complex and not fully understood.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to assess the usefulness of the dual-echo gradient- and spin-echo (GRASE) technique in revealing acute hemorrhagic brain lesions and compare GRASE and fast spin-echo techniques for revealing acute hemorrhagic lesions and image artifacts.
METHODS
Thirty-two consecutive
To evaluate the necessity of oxygen humidification for low-flow oxygen therapy in children with Pierre-Robin syndrome.Whether to carry out humidification or not in the low-flow oxygen delivery remains unclear, and currently, there is no published study on BACKGROUND
Reversed Robin Hood syndrome (RRHS) has recently been identified as one of the mechanisms of early neurologic deterioration in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients related to arterial blood flow steal from ischemic to nonaffected brain. We sought to investigate the association of RRHS
Failure to accomplish a tension-free, watertight closure predisposes the palatoplasty patient to fistula formation. Perioperative bleeding also places the patient at risk for adverse airway events (AAE). This study introduces the incorporation of a hemostatic gelatin sponge (Gelfoam) into layered
A mixed thymoma was diagnosed in a 15-year-old female American robin ( Turdus migratorius) that exhibited poor body condition, dysphagia, hyporexia, and depression. A 1.5-cm subcutaneous nodule was present in the cranio-ventral cervical region, which had been noticed by the owner 15 days before
We here review the pathophysiology of primary intracerebral hemorrhage to compare and contrast bleeds due to hypertension and congophilic angiopathy. Hypertension is characterized by early proliferation of arteriolar smooth muscle, followed later by apoptotic smooth muscle cell death and collagen
Delayed ischemic neurological deficit or clinical vasospasm remained a major cause for delayed neurological morbidity and mortality for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Magnesium is a cerebral vasodilator. In experimental model of drug or SAH-induced vasospasm, magnesium
The perivascular and perineural extension of hematoma has recently been observed in the brain after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is formed by the leakage of hematoma via the Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS) and the spaces around the nerve fibers (perineurium). The present study investigated the
To precise the severity of dilated Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS) in CADASIL patients and to determine their correlation with clinical presentation and other abnormalities on cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Dilated VRS were previously associated with aging, hypertension, dementia, epilepsy or
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is permanently discontinued in up to 50% of patients following a gastrointestinal (GI) bleed. A previous meta-analysis showed a reduced risk of thromboembolism and death, and a non-statistically significant increased risk of re-bleeding associated with Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease that occurs in parts of Asia, Europe and Africa. Since 2000 the infection has caused epidemics in Turkey, Iran, Russia, Uganda and Pakistan. Good-quality general supportive medical care helps reduce mortality. There is uncertainty and
BACKGROUND
Patients with an intracerebral haemorrhage are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Pharmacotherapy and pneumatic compression devices are capable of preventing venous thromboembolism, however both interventions have limitations. There are no head-to-head comparisons between these
Bilateral preretinal and vitreous hemorrhages in infants are rare and can present a diagnostic challenge, with nonaccidental trauma included in the differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 4-week-old boy in which a Pierre Robin sequence and a positive family history led to the clinical
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a complicated clinical syndrome, which is caused by several kinds of cerebrovascular disorders, with high morbidity, disability and mortality rate. In recent years, several studies have shown that early brain injury (EBI) is an important factor leading to the poor
