One in 4000 full-term infants develops arterial ischemic stroke at the time of birth.5 These children are commonly called an infantile stroke, infantile hemiplegia, perinatal stroke, and congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Epileptic seizures are common in 24-45 % of children suffering from an
Liver Transplant Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease. Despite continuous advancement in technology, it remains a high-risk operation. The building-up of an oxygen debt during LT can lead to an increased risk of poor postoperative outcomes
Viral encephalitis is a medical emergency The spectrum of brain involvement and the prognosis are dependent mainly on the specific pathogen and the immunological state of the host.
Although specific therapy is limited to only several viral agents, correct immediate diagnosis and introduction of
Introduction Stroke can be defined as an abrupt loss of brain function that is caused by decreased cerebral blood flow.
Stroke can occur at all stages of life, but presentation is variable depending on age, involved artery, and underlying risk factors.

This randomized open blinded end-point pilot study was implemented at Mansoura University Hospitals. After acceptance of Institutional Research Board (No: MS/17.08.26), sixty patients of chronic renal failure, The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) III, aged from 20 to 60 years old of
Despite progress in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases in the acute phase, stroke remains a catastrophic event with important public health implications. Post-acute intensive rehabilitation is recommended in patients with neurological deficits, but standardized evaluation protocols are
Cerebral palsy is known as a neurodevelopment disease that begins in the early childhood and persists throughout the life. In the past, it was a challenge to define the term CP. Many attempts were made to overcome this. In 1964, definition for cerebral palsy was given that is still used worldwide.

The investigators will follow the STROBE guidelines to perform this prospective observational study. All patient demographics, co-morbidities and surgical details that are relevant to calculate the EuroSCORE will be recorded using our institutional automatic anesthesia record system. Laboratory
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States and people with stroke deserve our maximum effort to restore in them as much function as possible; yet, mainstream stroke rehabilitation remains mired in traditional treatment approaches that may be suboptimal. However, for the
Completing a pilot safety study is paramount to the future goal of incorporating the tDCS pediatric safety data and combining tDCS and rehabilitation with constraint-induced movement therapy in order to improve motor outcomes beyond what rehabilitation therapies alone can provide and enhance quality
The proposed research penetrates the problem of hemiparesis following stroke. This problem devastates quality of life in thousands of people each year. The brain shows remarkable ability to reorganize under certain conditions, including after stroke. Unfortunately, some changes are maladaptive and
Background: Toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE), caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is common in AIDS patients. TE can result in tissue destruction via massive inflammation and brain abscess formation. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials were performed in AIDS patients to assess which drug regimen was
