BACKGROUND Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. However, there remain situations when administration is relatively contraindicated (eg. , arrival outside the accepted treatment window, mild or rapidly improving symptoms).

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as impairment in brain function as a result of mechanical force. It is classified based on clinical findings using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Mild TBI is defined as GCS 14-15; moderate, 9-13; and severe, 3-8. Patients with the same TBI classification may

Clinical and Doppler sonographic findings on the internal carotid artery of 218 patients with acute central retinal artery obstruction (42), branch retinal artery obstruction (43), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) (51), amaurosis fugax (AF) (21), and retinal vein occlusions (61) were

BACKGROUND Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) drugs are at least equivalent to warfarin for ischemic stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and have a lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The role of these agents in the prevention and treatment of other types of

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare complication following cerebral revascularization. It presents with ipsilateral headache, seizures, and intracerebral hemorrhage. It has mostly been described following extracranial carotid endarterectomy and stenting and it is very unusual after

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that certain clinical events may precede free wall myocardial rupture and allow its prediction, we conducted a retrospective and prospective study of 70 patients with rupture. BACKGROUND Rupture of the left ventricular free wall develops in approximately 10% of

In some patients with acute myocardial infarction, thrombolytic therapy may be limited by its failure to reperfuse the occluded artery, by recurrent ischemia (despite initially successful reperfusion), and by major hemorrhagic complications. Primary coronary angioplasty may circumvent these

Trousseau's syndrome involves unexplained thrombotic events along with malignancy. We report the cases of 3 patients undergoing chemotherapy for gastric cancer in whom Trousseau's syndrome occurred. Case 1 involved a 43-year-old woman undergoing S-1/cisplatin( CDDP) combination therapy as first-line

A considerable amount of disease is transmitted from animals to humans and many of these zoonoses are neglected tropical diseases. As outbreaks of SARS, avian influenza and Ebola have demonstrated, however, zoonotic diseases are serious threats to global public health and are not just problems
