Background Determining the cost of hospitalization for acute stroke is important in appropriate allocation resources public health facilities and effectiveness analysis interventions. Despite being second leading cause mortality Philippines, there are no published data on country. Aim The study aims to determine in-hospitalization (IHCS) a tertiary hospital Philippines identify factors influencing IHCS. Methods was retrospective review medical billing records hospital.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder presenting with asymmetric limb hypertrophy, cutaneous capillary malformations and lower extremity varicosities. We discuss 27-year-old man born varicosities on both extremities, which progressively enlarged. Physical examination showed grossly enlarged right hand. There were multiple compressible varicosities, diffuse port-wine stains the leg limb-length discrepancy left leg. CT angiogram Doppler ultrasound revealed several...
Limited research exists regarding the impact of neuroimaging on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) decisions for late-window cases large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.
This is a case of 31-year-old Filipino man with chronic methamphetamine use disorder who developed tetanus from necrotic skin graft over his left calcaneus, which was fractured after motor vehicular accident. During the course illness, patient’s muscle spasms were unusually refractory to benzodiazepine, first-line drug used in management spasms. The successfully controlled on seventh day illness rocuronium at dose 10 μg/kg/min and midazolam 0.30 mg/kg/hour. Both infusions tapered off until...
Background: Spasm control is essential in the management of tetanus. Benzodiazepines are administered as initial treatment tetanic spasms; however, sedation may be difficult to attain among patients with methamphetamine use disorder. Neuromuscular blocking agents, which act on an entire different mechanism, can given induce paralysis. Methods: We describe 2 cases disorder who were diagnosed severe tetanus and our experience rocuronium their spasms. performed a systematic review SCOPUS PubMed...

Introduction. Stroke can be a complication and/or presenting sign of COVID-19 infection. Although there is growing evidence on stroke in infection, only few these studies were done Asia and very scarce the local setting. Objective. This study aimed to characterize clinical profile, management, functional outcome patients with acute Methods. was single-center retrospective from March 30 October 20, 2020. The demographic characteristics, respiratory symptoms, risk factors, neuroimaging,...
Abstract Background Limited research exists regarding the impact of neuroimaging modality on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) decisions for late window large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke cases. Purpose This study assesses whether perfusion CT imaging: 1) alters proportion recommendations EVT, and 2) enhances reliability EVT decision-making compared to non-contrast angiography. Materials Methods We conducted an online survey using 30 patients drawn from institutional database 3144 acute...
