We characterized acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the rat by sequential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlated MRI findings with neurobehavior and histopathology. In addition, we investigated whether albumin treatment would reduce ICH-induced brain injury. ICH was produced in rats by
OBJECTIVE
Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common and severe form of stroke. To date, medical management of ICH has had scant impact on morbidity and mortality. Because albumin therapy is markedly neuroprotective in preclinical models of ischemic stroke, and because ischemic and hemorrhagic
OBJECTIVE
Chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs) are a local inflammatory process that causes the formation of a granulation tissue often referred to as the external or outer membrane. This membrane has abnormally permeable macrocapillaries. Therefore, exudation from the macrocapillaries in the outer
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a life-threatening acute cerebrovascular disease characterized by a 30-d mortality rate of 40% and substantial disability for those who survive. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of histotripsy-mediated efficient and fine liquefaction of
Forty-two cases of advanced schistosomiasis with massive ascites were treated with paracentesis and infusion of dextran and albumin. The effective rate was 100%. No abdominal wall hematoma, internal bleeding and visceral injury except 2 cases of mild abdominal congestion. In conclusion, there is a
Few reports have described the nature of the appearance of nonacute subdural hematoma on magnetic resonance (MR) images. The authors analyzed MR images in 39 cases of nonacute subdural hematoma and subdural effusion by measuring in vitro proton relaxation times and the biochemical variables of
Bile acids are known to pass the blood-brain barrier and are present at low concentrations in the brain. In a previous work, it was shown that subdural hematomas are enriched with bile acids and that the levels in such hematomas are higher than in the peripheral circulation. The mechanism behind
OBJECTIVE
Perineural hematoma may occur during performance of peripheral nerve blocks. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that an iatrogenic hematoma in the immediate vicinity of a peripheral nerve may cause histologic evidence of nerve injury.
METHODS
Fifty milliliters of autologous
BACKGROUND
The incidence and risk factors for post-traumatic cervical epidural hematoma are not well described in the current literature. Our aim was to determine the incidence and associated risk factors for post-traumatic cervical spine epidural hematoma (SEH).
METHODS
We performed a retrospective
A 58-year-old male liver cirrhosis patient, who had a history of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy, was admitted to our hospital because of clouding of consciousness. He had an episode of recent head trauma. On admission, he was drowsy and exhibited flapping tremor, fetor hepaticus and ascites.
We confirmed previous findings by a Japanese group that there is an accumulation of 7α-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoic acid (7-Hoca) in human subdural hematomas. The accumulation correlated with the time from the bleeding to the sample collection. We present evidence that these accumulations are likely
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is not a benign disease in the elderly, and the mortality of CSDH is reported to be up to 32%. The study aimed to analyze hospital mortality and evaluate the risk factors in patients with CSDH. We retrospectively reviewed all patients with CSDH treated in the
