BACKGROUND
Not all patients with warfarin-related acute intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) achieve full reversal of international normalized ratio (INR) after the first dose of weight-based prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). We sought to identify factors associated with anticoagulation reversal
The arteriosclerotic diseases and their risk factors were retrospectively investigated in 44 patients with chronic state of acute carbon monoxide intoxication who had been admitted since November 1963. The lack of elevations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum cholesterol, fasting blood
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is an established risk factor for stroke and has reached epidemic proportions. However, its impact on intravenous thrombolysis applied for acute ischemic stroke is not well known. We aimed to compare the clinical outcome and safety after intravenous thrombolysis in obese (body mass
Bevacizumab (BVZ), a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been suspected to increase the incidence of ischemic stroke (IS) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in GBM patients. Intracranial vascular events, such as IS and ICH, were retrospectively analyzed
BACKGROUND
Whether obese and overweight stroke patients respond differently to intravenous thrombolysis is unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of obesity and risk components of metabolic syndrome to stroke recovery in patients undergoing intravenous
The package insert of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) contains specific dosing recommendations stating to determine the patients dose based on their INR and weight, capping the weight at 100 kg. However, the mean body mass index (BMI) in the 4F-PCC U.S. approval study was 27 kg/m2,
BACKGROUND
It is widely accepted that obesity is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, but the association with stroke is less clear. Adipose tissue is an important source of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the main inhibitor of plasminogen activation.
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis
Background. The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between sepsis, obesity, and mortality of patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Subjects and Methods. Data of all patients admitted to the ICU of a tertiary hospital during a 28-month period were retrospectively
OBJECTIVE Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common type of intracranial hemorrhage in elderly patients. Many studies have suggested various factors that may be associated with the recurrence of CSDH. However, the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine the
OBJECTIVE
To compare weight concerns and self-reported body mass index (BMI) of low birth weight (LBW) adolescent boys to those of a normative sample and examine relationships among BMI, weight concerns, self-esteem, and depression in the LBW cohort.
METHODS
LBW boys (n = 260; mean age, 16.0) belong
OBJECTIVE
Thinning of the tegmen tympani and mastoideum components of the temporal bone may predispose to the development of meningoencephaloceles and spontaneous CSF leaks. Surgical repair of these bony defects and associated meningoencephaloceles aids in the prevention of progression and
BACKGROUND
Previous studies have demonstrated improved outcomes with an early invasive strategy in patients with unstable angina/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI). However, there are limited data for patients ≥80 years of age in these studies.
METHODS
We used the 2003-2010
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association of family history of stroke with functional outcomes in stroke patients in Korea.
METHODS
A case-control study was conducted. A total of 170 patients who were admitted to a rehabilitation unit were included. Risk factors for stroke such as age, sex, diabetes
OBJECTIVE
Reports of severe adverse reactions following the ingestion of single (75 mg) or double doses of the sympathomimetic drug phenylpropanolamine (PPA), with and without caffeine, prompted us to undertake a study of the effects of five drug preparations (75 mg PPA, 150 mg PPA, 75 mg PPA plus
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether perioperative subcutaneous heparin is safe to use for patients undergoing craniotomy and to determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing craniotomy.
METHODS
Perioperative prophylaxis with subcutaneous heparin, 5000 U every 12 hours, was
