Abstract Background As one of the most common non-communicable diseases in Africa, Stroke ought to be dealt with properly intensifying efforts control its burden and face obstacles management. Methods Results In this follow-up study we reanalyzed stroke services related 17 African countries that were previously studied 2021/22 aspects manpower, acute services, rehabilitation programs, number units/centers, telestroke awareness campaigns, national international registries through a survey was...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The quality of life (QOL) people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is considerably poorer than the QOL other chronic diseases. management should not be restricted to only clinical aspects but also factors modifying QOL. aim this study was identify sociodemographic and determinants in MS. METHODS: A cross-sectional conducted from 2022 2023 included 200 participants aged 18 over recruited Hassan II University Medical Hospital Fez, Morocco. assessment performed using Arabic...
The frequency and impact of in-patient assessment by a neurologist in the emergency room (ER) setting remain largely underestimated. objective our study was to analyse management. <i>Methods:</i> Over period 12 months, we prospectively recorded demographics patients requiring examination ER, ER team’s tentative neurological diagnosis, neurology final diagnosis patient outcomes. time interval between admission, call for were recorded. <i>Results:</i> Assessments...
Over the past few years, incidence and prevalence of stroke has been rising in most African countries reported as one leading causes morbidity mortality. To study this problem, we need to realize quality availability care services a priori improve them.In study, investigated different stroke-related 17 from regions. An online survey was conducted fulfilled by specialists included primary prevention, acute management, diagnostic tools, medications, postdischarge services, registries. The...
Background and methods Stroke incidence mortality are reported to have increased in the Middle-East North African (MENA) countries during last decade. This was a prospective observational study examine baseline characteristics of stroke patients MENA region compare vs. non-MENA cohort Safe Implementation Treatments (SITS) International Registry. Results Of 13,822 with ischemic hemorrhagic enrolled SITS-All Patients Protocol between June 2014 May 2016, 5897 (43%) were recruited MENA. The...
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with tenecteplase has been associated better clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients confirmed large vessel occlusions compared to IVT alteplase. However, the utility of for treatment all AIS eligible not established.We safety and efficacy versus alteplase by analyzing propensity score matched data from 20 centers participating Safe Implementation Treatments Stroke-International Stroke Thrombolysis Register. Patients receiving were up 3 same...
The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a rare vascular variant that can cause bilateral paramedian thalamic infarctions when occluded. Due to its atypical clinical presentation and subtle imaging findings, this condition often leads significant diagnostic challenges. timely recognition critical implementing appropriate management strategies improving patient outcomes. We report the case 76-year-old man with no prior medical history who presented emergency department sudden onset impaired...
Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke in the Middle-East and North African (MENA) countries is still confined to main urban university hospitals. This was a prospective observational study examine outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis-treated patients MENA region compared non-MENA cohort SITS International Registry.Of 32,160 with registered using protocol between June 2014 May 2016, 500 (1.6%) were recruited MENA. Compared (all p < 0.001), median age 55 versus 73 years, NIH...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerged pandemic caused by a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2). Initially the mortality of this infection are related to severe distress syndrome, but several publications also showed that inflammatory response with systemic complications [1]. Venous thromboembolism has been shown be important cause morbidity and in patients COVID-19, both general inpatient intensive care unit (ICU) setting, even...
The majority of strokes are due to blockage an artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt treatment with thrombolytic drugs can restore flow before major damage has occurred. We report case series all patients who were treated rt-PA at Stroke Unit HASSAN II University hospital between 2010 and 2013. There 52 intravenous rtPA during study period. mean age was 63 years no gender predominance (sex ratio 1.02). Hypertension most common vascular risk factor (31%) 17% suffered from atrial...
West Nile fever (WNF) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus infection. It epidemic in Africa and Asia. In autumn 1997, WNF occurred the Sfax area (southeastern Tunisia). Fifty-seven patients were hospitalized with aseptic meningitis and/or encephalitis. Search for specific anti-West virus (WNV) antibodies serum cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was performed using an ELISA test. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) used to detect WNV genome CSF brain specimens. Recent central nervous...
Background. Few studies have analysed the natural course of cerebral ischaemia for predicting outcome. We aimed to determine early clinical findings and thresholds deficit severity symptom duration that make it possible stratify Methods. included 154 patients with transient ischaemic attack or stroke. Stroke profiles neurological status were assessed from onset 24 hrs, on admission, at 48 discharge. Outcomes evaluated using modified Rankin Scale. Positive negative predictive values...
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of stroke, diagnosis and management can be difficult because the diversity clinical presentation causes. The prognosis shown to better than arterial thrombosis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MR Venograpgy (MRV) are currently important tools for diagnosis. We studied 30 cases CVT diagnosed in department neurology at University Hospital Fez (Morocco). Patients with signs between January 2003 October 2007 were included study. CT-scan was...
Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is a rare cause demyelination dorsal and lateral columns neurological complication vitamin B12 deficiency. without anemia or macrocytosis rare.We present case cobalamin deficiency in 29-year-old Moroccan woman who presented with subacute evidence macrocytosis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal hyperintense signal changes on T2-weighted posterior from medulla oblongata to thoracic spine. A diagnosis was considered confirmed by...
The choice of imaging parameters for functional MRI can have an impact on the accuracy localization by affecting image quality and degree blood oxygenation-dependent (BOLD) contrast achieved. By improving sampling efficiency, parallel acquisition techniques such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE) been used to shorten readout trains in single-shot (SS) echo planar (EPI). This has applied susceptibility artifact reduction spatial resolution. SENSE together with spin-echo (SS-SE) may also reduce...
Stroke represents a health care challenge to most parts of the world including Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The MENA 6% population with an age-standardized stroke rate 87.7 (78.2-97.6) per 100,000 population. This number is subject increase given that cause morbidity has recently shifted from infectious diseases non-communicable diseases. Thus, in coming years, treatment will pose major burden on countries which mostly lie low middle income economies. Accordingly, we need...
