Self-management Challenges for Persons with TBI:
A coordinated approach to chronic health management has been shown to be effective for a number of conditions such as asthma, (Wolf, et al., 2002) diabetes, (Glasgow, Funnell, et al., 2002) heart failure, (Glasgow, et al., 2002) and excess alcohol use
Introduction Hypertension is the commonest medical complication of pregnancy. It is associated with high maternal and perinatal mortality, especially when severe. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy constitute one of the five major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in obstetric practice,
Background Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are known to be at risk for thrombo-embolic events. Virchow's triad describes the major risk factors in three categories: venous stasis, vessel injury and activation of blood coagulation. A prolonged mechanical ventilation together with

Sleep breathing disorders are a frequent and serious health problem in the Polish population. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder. The essence of OSA is repeated episodes of airway obstruction that occur repeatedly during sleep, resulting in a decrease in the level of partial oxygen
Provoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is traditionally considered a transient acute disorder requiring a limited duration of anticoagulant therapy. Patients who suffer deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following major surgery, major trauma, or periods of immobility are generally
Abobotulinum neurotoxin type A, abo-BoNT/A, (Dysport®) is the most potent biological toxin produced from Clostridium botulinum. In 1920, Dr Hermann Sommer of the Hooper Foundation at the University of California made the first attempt to purify the botulinum toxin. His work paved the way for further
Rationale and Background:
Dual antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin and Clopidogrel represents the standard of care for the prevention of recurrent ischemic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). For more than 10 years, dual antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin and
Iron deficiency is the most common, widespread, and costly nutritional disorder worldwide with the World Health Organization (WHO) stating that up to 2 billion people are iron deficient. There is a serious and widespread misconception that oral iron supplements are safe and effective at alleviating
The study will investigate digoxin to inhibit the hypoxic response in congenital erythrocytosis due to germ line mutations that result in up-regulated hypoxia sensing. These forms of congenital erythrocytosis, characterized by augmented levels of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1 and/or HIF-2, are

The aim of the current study is to increase level of the awareness regarding risk factors and warning signs of stroke among population at risk who attending the primary health care center at Jeddah city in Saudi Arabia.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the health
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is characterised by a recurrent transient vasospasm of the fingers or toes in response to a cold or stressful stimulus. Nitric oxide (NO•) is a known vasodilator and NO• donors, such as Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN), improve blood flow in patients with RP and in cold sensitive
Introduction Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESDR) cannot regulate their fluid balance, and are dependent on dialysis for fluid removal. Fluid removal is dependent upon estimation of dry weight. Dry weight is defined as the post-dialysis weight under which a patient suffers (more often than
The goals of the current study will be to demonstrate time-linked headache pain after super-selectively administration of vasodilatory medications to external carotid artery branches, and then observe vessel changes and presumed headache relief with transient occlusion of the same vessel. This work
