cerebral hemorrhage/fever

The objective of the proposed minimal-risk, non-interventional retrospective (January 2012 onwards) as well as prospective, cross-sectional observational study (i.e., NCCU Research Repository) is to better understand the common pathophysiological pathways of life-threatening neurological illnesses,

Non Traumatic Coma in children is an important pediatric emergency. It has been an enigma for clinicians for many years. To find the cause of coma and to determine the prognosis is a taxing question for the attending clinicians and the primary concern for relatives in every case. Non-traumatic coma

The Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm Aspirin Trial (UIAAT) is a single centre, randomised, single blind, open label trial of 300mg aspirin daily versus no treatment for 3 months. 58 patients with an intracranial aneurysm diagnosed on imaging will be recruited - potential participants will be

In patients with acute neurologic injury such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), traumatic brain injury (TBI), subdural hematoma (SDH), and ischemic stroke, fever has been found to be an independent predictor of poor outcome including increased mortality rates, longer

Study Methods: Study Population A 60 adult (aged >18 years) patients were included with a diagnosis of acute thromboembolic ischemic stroke within 48 hours after onset, according to clinical picture and imaging findings by brain computed tomography (CT) without evidence of hemorrhage, upon admission

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of a goal-directed care bundle of active management involving early physiological control (intensive blood pressure [BP] lowering, glycemic control, early treatment of pyrexia, and rapid reversal of anticoagulation), versus usual standard of care, on

Medical complications, both minor and serious, play a large role in post-stroke management and outcome. Infection, especially pneumonia and urinary tract infections (UTI), is one of the most common medical complications of stroke. In addition, immunosuppression secondary to stroke may increase the
