Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/ [height (m)] 2) of 30 or greater, is a common medical comorbidity of pregnancy affecting one third of reproductive-aged women. Maternal obesity is also a well-recognized risk factor for dysfunctional labor and cesarean delivery
1. INTRODUCTION
Electrotherapy is a valuable therapeutic resource used by physiotherapists for different purposes, among which are the reduction of pain, control of edema, muscle strengthening, control of the inflammatory process and promotion of tissue repair processes.[1,2] Within the The most
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
Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly. It results from incomplete closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1-2 per 1,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central nervous system
Brain metastases (BM) develop in 22-54% of NSCLC patients during the disease course. NSCLC patients with BM with a median overall survival (OS) of 2-3 months when treated with systemic corticosteroid alone, and a median OS of 3-6 months when treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
This is a randomized single-blind, non-inferiorty trial. Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is considered the gold standard for vault prolapse, and has demonstrated superior anatomic outcomes compared to transvaginal suspension procedures. Sacrocolpopexy involves suspension of the vagina to the anterior
A total of 80 patients with acute large hemispheric infarction (LHI) within 48h after occurrence admitted into NICU of Xuanwu Hospital as well as 40 healthy volunteers will be recruited. The patients' baseline characteristics, treatment and changes of clinical conditions will be recorded, and ICP
Primary brain tumors in adults are less common than metastatic tumors. The most frequent are glioblastoma multiforme, metastases, anaplastic astrocytoma, meningioma, pituitary tumors and vestibular schwannoma. 70% of the tumors in adults are supratentorial. The most infratentorial tumors are
Space-occupying, malignant middle cerebral artery (M-MCA) infarctions are still one of the most devastating forms of ischemic stroke, with a mortality of up to 80% in untreated patients.
Actually, M-MCA infarctions constitute between 1% to 10% of all supratentorial ischemic strokes, with a yearly
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is seen in head trauma, hydrocephalus, intracranial tumors, hepatic encephalopathy, and cerebral edema. Intractable elevated ICP can lead to death or devastating neurological damage either by reducing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and causing cerebral
Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly . It results from incomplete middleline closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1 per 1,000 / 2,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central
MCA Stroke is a fatal disease with reported mortality of about 80% of cases without decompressive craniectomy. Osmotic agents like hypertonic saline & mannitol have been used in acute MCA stroke cases without no evidence of benefit. Its use in elevated ICP can be only justified as a bridge to the
Space-occupying, malignant middle cerebral artery (M-MCA) infarctions are still one of the most devastating forms of ischemic stroke, with a mortality of up to 80% in untreated patients.The term M-MCA is referred to a severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) syndrome with typical clinical symptoms
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure that is used frequently for mass and/or intracranial hypertension. The Trephined Syndrome (or Sinking Skin Flap Syndrome) is a neurological deterioration which follows craniectomy and which is attributed to a large bone flap size. The
INTRODUCTION Low back pain is a frequent condition in the population, as well as vertebral endplates abnormalities, described by Modic et al.(1,2), that affect up to 6% of the general population, and, up to 46% of patients with low back pain(3). Modic type I changes are described as vertebral bone
