Propofol infusion syndrome is a recognized complication of prolonged propofol use in the pediatric population, but little is reported on other metabolic effects of propofol, especially in children with mitochondrial disorders. We report on a child with metabolic encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and
The effects of intravenous glycerol and intravenous dextrose were compared using a double-blind trial in twenty-seven patients with acute stroke. Administration continued for up to 6 days. A standard scoring system was used for neurological evaluation. There was no difference in mortality or in
Hyperglycemia, which reduces the efficacy of treatments and worsens clinical outcomes, is common in stroke. Ability of pregabalin to reduce neuroexcitotoxicity may provide protection against stroke, even under hyperglycemia. We investigated its protective effect against hyperglycemic stroke and its
OBJECTIVE
While individuals with diabetes have a raised risk of stroke, it is unclear whether hyperglycaemia in non-diabetic populations is related to the development of this disease.
METHODS
In this prospective cohort study of 19,019 men, capillary blood was drawn 2 h after consumption of a glucose
Previous studies utilizing alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) or the synthetic analog [Nle(4), D-Phe(7)] alpha-MSH have reported beneficial effects in animal models of ischemic stroke, with the latter studies suggesting melanocortin receptor subtype-4 (MC4R) activation as a protective
OBJECTIVE
This study describes emergency department (ED) management of stroke in Houston, Tex, in 1992 to identify delays and deficiencies in recognition and management of stroke patients in various hospital subtypes and to quantitate the impact of a rapid response stroke team.
METHODS
ED logs of
Hypoglycemia is a common presenting feature of diabetes in the emergency department. Cardiovascular and neuroglycopenia features are well documented in the literature. We here report a case of 55-year-old female who came to our emergency with clinical features suggestive of cerebellar stroke.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of subcutaneous and intravenous fluid therapy in hydrating, elderly acute stroke patients. Thirty-four such patients, needing parenteral fluids because of impaired consciousness or dysphagia, were randomly allocated to receive either
OBJECTIVE
Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is normally expressed in rat brain capillaries. This study examines the expression of TPA in brain capillaries of diabetic rats in relation to focal ischemic brain injury.
METHODS
Diabetes type 1 was induced by streptozotocin for 7 days. Acute
OBJECTIVE
Hyperglycemia after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with poor outcomes. However, there is no consensus as to the optimal method for glycemic control. We designed an insulin infusion protocol for aggressive glucose control and investigated its efficacy and safety.
METHODS
We
OBJECTIVE
To identify deficiencies in stroke knowledge among prehospital providers.
METHODS
A nationwide multiple-choice survey was sent to 689 paramedics (EMT-Ps) and 294 advanced EMTs (EMT-Is) from a random selection of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians database. Of the 23
Intraoperative hyperglycemia has been observed to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Dextrose cardioplegia is used for its cardioprotective effects but may lead to intraoperative hyperglycemia and more postoperative complications. This was a retrospective
The empiric administration of 50% dextrose to all patients presenting to the ED with altered mental status is a standard of care predicated on the assumption that glucose administration is harmless to nonhypoglycemic patients. Considerable evidence now disputes this assumption. Glucose
Hyperosmolar non-ketotic coma in diabetes is a life-threatening condition. We describe three patients, aged 59-67 years, who developed hyperosmolar coma during the first ten days after admission for stroke. Common to all three were normal plasma osmolality and slightly elevated plasma creatinine
The empiric administration of 50% dextrose to all patients presenting to the ED with altered mental status is a standard of care predicated on the assumption that glucose administration is harmless to non-hypoglycemic patients. Considerable evidence now disputes this assumption. Glucose
