Patient's diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed acute ischemia in right cerebella and right occipital lobe, thus intravenous recombinant tissue ...
Hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke. Potential contributing factors in the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study. Recent studies suggest that thrombolytic therapy may be of benefit to patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the treatment also carries a significan... V Larrue,RV...
We present a patient with an acute ischemic stroke from an inadvertently placed CVC into the right common carotid artery. A 57-year-old male presented to our institution for left hemiplegia and seizures 2 days after a CVC was placed. He was found to have a right frontal ischemic stroke on...
After ischemic stroke, in the lesion core as well as in the ischemic penumbra, evolution of tissue damage and repair is strongly affected by neuroinflammatory events that involve activation of local specialized glial cells, release of inflammatory mediat
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In part due to the availability of more aggressive treatments, increasing numbers of patients with AIS are being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite the availability of consensus guidance for the...
Autonomic dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke: an underexplored therapeutic area? J Neurol Sci (2015) 348: 24-34.De Raedt S, De Vos A, De Keyser J. Autonomic dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke: an underexplored therapeutic area? Journal of the neurological sciences 2015;348(1-2):24-34....
As convincing as this chain of experiments documenting the cardiac after-effects of an ischemic stroke are, there are a few points to be scrutinized: 1. Could non-stroke brain injuries (e.g., trauma, surgery, infection) trigger similar events?
The authors report a stroke that occurred within minutes following an intramuscular injection of diclofenac. A sixty-one-year-old man, a heavy smoker, was admitted for an acute onset of mild hemiparesis thirty minutes after a single intramuscular injection of diclofenac. The neurologic deficit was ...
Background Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared mechanical endovascular therapy (MET) in addition to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVtPA) to IVtPA alone for the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Direct comparative studies between individual METs are not available. In...
An acute middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke was diagnosed, and tissue plasminogen activator was administered. Despite a fluctuating course of symptoms, our patient ultimately achieved a complete recovery.关键词: pneumomediastinum epidural emphysema ...
