Introduction and Background According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the 5th leading cause of mortality in the US, and a leading cause of significant long-term disability where almost 50% of stroke survivors, age 65 and above, suffer from disabling decrease in mobility.
1. COVID-19 has a high infection rate and mortality, and serious complications such as heart injury cannot be ignored.
At present, the scale and harm of COVID 19 (Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has far surpassed that of SARS in 2003, with more than 80,000 cases confirmed in China and 3,119 deaths
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
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of more intensive BP lowering target (<120 mmHg) compared to higher BP management target (140-180mmHg) on functional outcome in patients with successful recanalization post-MT for AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO).
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age ≥18
Background Expanding time window using the emerging technologies for mechanical thrombectomy can improve chances of achieving successful thrombectomy and improve clinical outcome in patients that would have only received conservative treatment. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness
Study Setting All patients affected by moderate TBI (Glasgow Coma Score 9-13) admitted to the neurosurgical department of the University Hospital of Messina, Italy, will be screened for recruitment.
Ethics The institutional review board (IRB) approved the study. Written consent will be obtained from
INTRODUCTION Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI), which is firstly proposed by Japanese scholars in 1990s, is considered as a pathological status induced by persistent reduction of cerebral blood volume and flow (CBV and CBF), leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue. Long-time
Introduction: Fall with head injury is becoming an epidemic challenge especially with the ageing population. Contributing factors for mortality and poor functional outcome included development of cerebral contusion and delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma. There is a higher prevalence
The term prediabetes has been coined to describe an intermediate stage in the transition in glucose tolerance from normal glucose tolerance to overt diabetes. According to the ADA criteria, prediabetes include subjects with impaired fasting glucose (FPG=100-125 mg/dl) and/or impaired glucose
1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a frequently occurring neurological disease of the elderly and common in daily neurosurgical practice. It consists of an extracerebral encapsulated collection of mostly liquefied old hematoma, located between the dura and arachnoid.
This study aims to examine the optimal anticoagulation/antiplatelet regimen in low risk patients undergoing TAVR. The prospective randomized controlled arm of this study will assess the utility of short-term oral anticoagulation with warfarin compared to antiplatelet therapy alone after TAVR in low
In 2015, stroke was the second most frequent cause of death after coronary artery disease, accounting for 6.3 million deaths (11% of the total).Studies have reported a 30-day recurrence rate of 1.1 to 15 % after stroke and as high as 17% after transient ischemic attack .Therefore, early initiation
DECIDE (Bedside versus Operating Room Burr-Hole DrainagE of ChronIc SubDural HEmatoma)
Background and Significance: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is an abnormal collection of liquefied blood products between the dura and arachnoid membranes of the brain that may cause brain tissue compression and
