BACKGROUND
Aspiration of oral or gastric contents into the larynx and lower respiratory tract is a common problem in acute stroke patients, which significantly increases the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, little is known about the clinical characteristics of
Brain injury can lead to impaired cortical inhibition of the hypothalamus, resulting in increased sympathetic nervous system activation. Symptoms of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity may include hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, vasodilation, and hyperhidrosis. We report the case of a
OBJECTIVE
Although recent studies suggest a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute stroke, a systematic characterization of sleep-disordered breathing based on the severity and topography of stroke has not been performed.
METHODS
We prospectively studied 39
This study evaluates physiologic monitoring as a tool for improved nursing observation of acute stroke patients. Forty-four patients admitted within 48 hours of onset of stroke were monitored using an automated arrhythmia detection system and impedance pneumography. Cardiac arrhythmias were observed
Though pulmonary embolism (PE) has been thought to be rare, the incidence seems to be increasing recently. During the past 10 years the authors have encountered 5 cases of PE among stroke patients. There were 2 males and 3 females, aged 51 to 71 years (mean age; 63 years). The mean time between
The authors reported a case with acute right, middle cerebral artery infarct in which the early infarct area was detected by CTP recovery later after the treatment. The patient had hypoxia and tachypnea from pulmonary edema during acute ischemic stroke, which may have accentuated the ischemic change
The effects of naloxone or thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) upon neurologic outcome were evaluated in gerbil models of cerebral ischemia. Following temporary bilateral carotid occlusion, hypotension was transiently reversed by these endorphin antagonists. However, neither drug altered time to
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since the World Wars; it can attack several systems in the body and has high complications and mortality. COVID-19 can cause venous and arterial thromboembolism due to
After reviewing these published studies, I think one can conclude that in the patient population with chronic and/or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, warfarin is beneficial and the benefits outweigh the risks. However, it is important to point out that patients at high risk for embolic disease, for
To clarify the different cardiorespiratory response to exercise in patients with congenital heart disease and patients with chronic congestive heart failure, we investigated the effect of a progressive exercise test in 30 patients aged 10 to 24 years, including 9 patients with cyanotic congenital
BACKGROUND
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is seen in a variety of clinical settings in critically ill patients. ARDS has been defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive hypoxemia, tachypnea, and generalized patchy bilateral pulmonary infiltrates in the absence of cardiac
BACKGROUND
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a clinical disorder mainly caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, encephalitis and other types of brain injury. The clinical features are episodes of hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, fever and dystonic postures. In this study, we

BACKGROUND
A growing number of pediatric endocrinologists treat Graves disease with radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy
Heat stroke victims lack thermoregulatory control. Treatment includes immediate cooling, circulatory support and monitoring for secondary complications. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a complication of neuroleptic drug therapy; skeletal muscle hypertonicity helps distinguish this entity from heat
The American Psychiatric Association estimates that 3-7% of US school-aged children exhibit attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Adderall(®) (amphetamine dextroamphetamine) and a variety of brand names and generic versions of this combination are available by prescription to treat ADHD
