1. Introduction: Global cerebral ischaemic-reperfusion brain injury following cardiac arrest (CA) can lead to intracranial hypertension and, occasionally, acute brain swelling. Even small increases in brain volume due to edema can result in harmful increases in intracranial pressure due to the
INTRODUCTION Stroke is defined as sudden neurological deficit due to an abnormality in cerebral blood flow, with sign and symptoms lasting for more than 24 hours. Strokes can be grouped into two fundamental classification according to the American Stroke Association (ASA), first is ischemic (87%)
meningitis is a notifiable disease in many countries, the exact incidence rate is unknown. In 2013 meningitis resulted in 303,000 deaths - down from 464,000 deaths in 1990. In 2010 it was estimated that meningitis resulted in 420,000 deaths, excluding cryptococcal meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis
Stroke or unsufficient cerebral circulation is a non-traumatic disease due to occlusion or rupture of brain blood circulation characterized by neurological deficits such as loss of motor control, cognitive impairment, oral disorder or sensory changes in one half of the body resulting from changes.
This ExAblate Transcranial system was built atop the ExAblate Body system technology, which has received EMA and CE approvals for the treatment of uterine fibroids and bone metastasis palliation, and is currently being evaluated under various EMA Investigational Device Exemptions "IDE". It should be
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disease with a progressive destruction of hepatic parenchyma, leading to cirrhosis and high mortality in the absence of specific treatment. It has been demonstrated that the treatment with corticosteroids and azathioprine provides clinical and laboratory
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Background
On one hand structural cardiac anomalies and arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation can give rise to thrombi that are dislodged as emboli to the brain and cause stroke. On the other hand acute emotional stress or cerebral events can cause acute cardiac dysfunction with left ventricular
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disease with a progressive destruction of hepatic parenchyma, leading to cirrhosis and high mortality in the absence of specific treatment. It has been demonstrated that the treatment with corticosteroids and azathioprine provides clinical and laboratory
The study design is a prospective observational analysis. Subjects who have been deemed candidates for a large-volume paracentesis, based on clinical criteria and who meet the above-referenced inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited to participate in this study. Study visits will take
A. Specific Aims:
Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive motor symptoms of tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. The prevalence is estimated at 102-109/100,000 and increases with age. It is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after
Duration of the project Patients will be recruited for this study from September 2010 until September 2012 in all participating centers. All randomized patients will be followed up (after recovery) with outpatient clinic appointments 30 and 60 days from surgery. A long-term evaluation will be done
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by motor symptoms. Patients are initially treated successfully with drugs (e.g. levodopa), unfortunately use is limited due to severe side effects. In the advanced stages of PD neurosurgical treatment is the next
Scientific Goals. We and others have now identified several human chromosomal regions that contain genetic markers that have been associated with vulnerability to substance abuse/dependence in several different human populations (Uhl et al, 2002). However, little is known about the biological or
Background:
One of the major limitations of conventional antipsychotics is their high propensity to cause extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Tardive dyskinesia (TD) in particular causes problems, insofar as it is common, and resistant to treatment. TD is under-recognised in clinical settings. However,
