fever/뇌졸중

Malignant hyperthermia may be a human stress syndrome, of which heat stroke is one manifestation. Two men in military service who had episodes of exertional heat stroke, and their immediate family members, were tested for susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia by in-vitro contracture tests on

BACKGROUND Fever appears in a fourth of stroke, approximately. Its origins, (the most of them are infectious) are unknown in a minority of the cases. Some hypotheses indicate that central mechanisms like hypothalamic lesions or segregation of endogenous pyrogens may be implicated. OBJECTIVE To

Heat stroke following effort is not confined to hot regions. The authors have seen five cases in the Paris region between 1967 and 1974. It particularly affects young subjects, in pour training or living away from home. Clinically very similar to anaesthetic malignant hyperthermia, it has the same

Increased body temperature results in severe neuronal damage during cerebral ischemia. We hypothesized that hyperthermia hastens the degradation of basement membrane protein components and causes the disruption of brain microvasculature through early up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinases

Previous studies showed that elevated body temperature early after ischemic stroke is associated with severe neurological deficit and a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence and putative etiology of febrile body temperature (>/=38.0 degrees C) early after stroke and to

Approximately 50% of patients hospitalized for stroke develop fever. In fact, experimental evidence suggests that high body temperature is significantly correlated to initial stroke severity, lesion size, mortality, and neurologic outcome. Fever occurring after stroke is associated with poor

BACKGROUND Fever, hyperglycemia, and swallow dysfunction poststroke are associated with significantly worse outcomes. We report treatment and monitoring practices for these three items from a cohort of acute stroke patients prior to randomization in the Quality in Acute Stroke Care

Implementation of nurse-initiated protocols to manage fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction decreased death and disability 90 days poststroke in the QASC trial (Quality in Acute Stroke Care) conducted in 19 Australian acute stroke units (2005-2010). We now examine long-term all-cause

BACKGROUND Our randomized controlled trial of a multifaceted evidence-based intervention for improving the inpatient management of fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction in the first three-days following stroke improved outcomes at 90 days by 15%. We designed a quantitative process

BACKGROUND Central hyperthermia is an unresolved riddle; this study tries to define its characteristics. METHODS Seventy-four previously healthy patients who developed hyperthermia (> or =39 degrees C) within 24 h after stroke onset were enrolled. The lesion sites, nature of stroke, and clinical

OBJECTIVE Adherence to treatment protocols to manage fever, hyperglycemia, and dysphagia is associated with reduced levels of mortality and morbidity in acute stroke patients. However, the extent of research translation in this area is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is

OBJECTIVE No definitive data are yet available on the effects of body temperature on neurological damage after cerebral ischemia in humans. Experimental animal models have provided much evidence, but to our knowledge, only two studies on the relationship between fever and prognosis of stroke in

BACKGROUND Asthma has been linked to stroke, but it is unknown if hay fever is related to stroke. This study was designed to investigate if there is an association between a reported history of hay fever and stroke during a 4.4-year study period. METHODS Analysis was performed of the Atherosclerosis

OBJECTIVE Hyperthermia worsens prognosis in ischaemic, but probably not in haemorrhagic stroke. The reason for this discrepancy is unknown; therefore we designed this study to compare factors related to the occurrence of hyperthermia in patients with ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. METHODS We

OBJECTIVE To examine maternal hypertension, diabetes, and intrapartum fever as potential risk factors for ischemic stroke in infants. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 226,117 children born from January 2000 to December 2007 who were enrolled in the South Carolina Medicaid
