This study is a prospective observational cohort study to document prevalence and severity of neurological symptoms among patients requiring critical care admission for confirmed novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 is classified as severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and
Early reports of COVID-19 indicate that adults experience a variety of neurological symptoms and diagnoses in approximately 36% of patients, including headaches, seizures, coma, encephalitis, and cerebrovascular events including ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and cerebral venous sinus
The objective of the proposed minimal-risk, non-interventional retrospective (January 2012 onwards) as well as prospective, cross-sectional observational study (i.e., NCCU Research Repository) is to better understand the common pathophysiological pathways of life-threatening neurological illnesses,
Background
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations consist of tangled blood vessels forming a so-called nidus which connects arteries to veins without the interposition of a capillary bed. Due to subsequent structural changes of draining veins within the nidus, patients are at risk of cerebral
Convulsion is the most common clinical manifestation of neonatal central nervous system dysfunction. the incidence of convulsion is very high in neonatal period, especially in the first week after birth. the incidence of convulsion decreases gradually with the increase of age. The incidence of
The most common indications for vacuum extraction are dystocia and/or fetal asphyxia. The safety of assisted vaginal delivery with vacuum extraction has been discussed since its introduction almost fifty years ago. Serious complications such as asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage and seizures are
Tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that stops bleeding, is the only drug treatment that improves survival in adults with serious bleeding after injuries. However, TXA has not been used routinely in children with traumatic bleeding because no studies have appropriately evaluated TXA for injured children.
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
The purpose of this study is to combine molecular and behavioral methods in an experimental conceptualization approach to map the effects of trigeminal (PULSED orocutaneous) somatosensory stimulation on salivary gene expression in the context of the acquisition of an exquisitely complex oromotor
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder and a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and death worldwide. When left untreated, preeclampsia leads to seizures (eclampsia), stroke, hemorrhage, kidney and liver failure, and death. The World Health Organization (WHO)
1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are common cerebrovascular abnormalities. The prevalence of IAs has been reported to be 0.8-2.0% of the population. [1-3] The most common presentation of IAs is subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the annual incidence of which varies by
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively uncommon but increasingly discovered lesions that can lead to significant neurological disability or death.1 Population-based data suggest that the annual incidence of discovery of a symptomatic AVM is approximately 1.1 per 100 000
Background
Amongst many surgical subspecialties particularly the field of neurosurgery has made major advancements in the last decade in regards to microsurgical techniques such as continuously pushing the boundaries of radical tumor resection while ensuring patient security and functional integrity
1. Overview This multi-center, Phase II trial is designed to determine if Tranexamic Acid (TXA) initiated in the prehospital setting improves long-term neurologic outcome compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe TBI who are not in shock. This study protocol will be conducted as part
