Evaluation and treatment of patients with severely elevated blood pressure in academic emergency departments: a multicenter study . Ann Emerg Med 2006; 47 :230–6Karras DJ, Kruus LK, Cienki JJ, et al. Evaluation and treatment of patients with severely elevated blood pressure in academic Emergency...
Objectives: To determine the frequency of severely elevated blood pressure on admission in known hypertensive patients presenting with acute hemorrhagic stroke. Methodology: This cross-sectional Study conducted at Neurology Department, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, the duration of study is 6 months from...
15 Comparable definitions for dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, and abnormal kidney function were applied to both cohorts (eMethods in the Supplement). All laboratory assays for the Teen-LABS and TODAY cohorts were performed by the Northwest Lipid Metabolism and Diabetes Research Laboratories, ...
The severely elevated serum clonidine concentration found in our patient demonstrates the possibility of toxicity resulting from inappropriate use of such a product. At high serum concentrations, the pharmacodynamic effects of clonidine appear to cause significant peripheral alpha-1 adrenergic stimulation. ...
For the purposes of this study, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease included suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (elevated serum alanine aminotransferase, imaging evidence of steatosis, and a negative serological evaluation), biopsy-proven fatty liver, and biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. A...
Elevated CVP may contribute to significant blood loss [ 2 ]. We report here the case of a Fontan patient following a standard neurosurgical procedure. During the postoperative course, disturbed wound healing involving dura mater, calvaria as well as galea and skin created multiple problems, which ...
caused by endothelial injury induced by systemic inflammation after trauma21. Low fibrinogen levels as well as elevated FDP levels with high FDP/D-dimer ratios in DIC patients suggest fibrin(ogen)olysis. Immediate increases in the plasmin levels followed by an increase in the PAI-1 levels at 3...
(Fig.1b). This uncommon observation13,14,15was not caused by dysregulation of the counter-regulatory hormone response (Fig.1e–i). We propose that the observed hypoglycaemia following an oral glucose load is caused by a combination of elevated insulin levels, and intact adipose tissue and in...
We hypothesized that placental resistance was elevated and transfer reduced in cotyledons from intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) fetuses. We perfused 10 cotyledons from term, normally grown fetuses, six from preterm, normally grown fetuses with normal umbilical arterial end-diastolic velocities (EDV...
Another study on the relationship between low serum magnesium and metabolic syndrome with low-grade inflammation also found that inflammatory factors were elevated only when magnesium levels were severely low (<0.5 mmol/L)31. Animal studies found that the inflammatory response caused by mild-to-...
