Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is a common clinical consequence of stroke with reported frequency as high as 72% (1). Onset of HSP is more common at 2-3 months post stroke(2). HSP can reduce participation in rehabilitation activities and reduce quality of life(3).
Over one million infants are born to HIV-1-infected women every year in Sub Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, annual births stand at 379,000 with approximately 48,000 infants being born every year to HIV-1-infected women on lifelong highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Concerns have been
Patients will be clinically and radiographically examined and their eligibility will be assessed Eligible patients will be treated in 2 visits
1. Anesthetizing the tooth using inferior alveolar nerve block technique by local anesthesia of 1.8 ml of 2% Mepivacaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the re-lining of the thoracic aorta to prevent life threatening haemorrhage and death from rupture. This involves a small cut in the femoral artery in the groin and under imaging guidance, the insertion of wires and a stent into the thoracic
Background General anaesthesia reduces blood pressure, but cerebral autoregulation is considered to maintain its blood flow if mean arterial pressure (MAP) is between 60-150 mmHg. Thus, vasoactive medication is administered to treat anaesthesia-induced hypotension if MAP decreases to below
In spite of the progress in cardiac surgery and perioperative management postoperative heart failure remains the leading cause of death and organ failure. Although acknowledged as a major problem in cardiac surgery there are no generally accepted criteria for the diagnosis of postoperative heart
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
In the clinic, physicians are reluctant to use thrombolysis, Defibrase and anticoagulation therapy because of the severity of symptoms, poor prognosis, risk of hemorrhage and high fatality rate that occur with acute massive cerebral infarction. Nimodipine, as a selective Ca2+ antagonist, is highly
Patients will be followed by a blinded investigator for a 7days period to record the development of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary complications defined by a broad composite that included all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, new atrial or
Purpose: This study is a Phase IV pilot study. A phase IV study is a study of an approved drug or treatment conducted to obtain information regarding the drug's or treatment's, benefits and optimal use. The investigators will assess the efficacy of Botox® on reducing autonomic dysreflexia (AD)
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of topical anesthesia on cardiovascular changes triggered by bowel care in people with spinal cord injury.
In people with spinal cord injury, episodes of high blood pressure are common during strong sensory stimuli such as those present
Cholesterol is the principle component of cardiovascular disease. It deposits in the walls of blood vessels and contributes to both chronic vascular insufficiency manifested as claudication, ischemic ulceration, or angina, and acute vascular insufficiency presenting as heart attack, stroke or sudden

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom (UK), as well as in the developed and the developing world. Finding new and safe treatments to reduce the burden of heart disease and strokes is therefore an important contribution to public health
