<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Contrast enhancement of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques has recently been investigated using high field and resolution MR imaging as a risk factor in the development ischemic stroke. We studied reliability conventional at 1.5T evaluating intraplaque its relationship with acute cerebrovascular presentations patients severe disease. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> retrospectively identified analyzed 19 22 high-grade disease (>70% stenosis) vessels...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> American and European guidelines support antiplatelet agents anticoagulants as reasonable treatments of cervical artery dissection (CAD), though randomized clinical trials are lacking. The utility novel oral (NOAC), effective in reducing embolic stroke risk non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), has not been reported patients with CAD. We report on the use, safety, efficacy NOACs treatment <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...
To assess the association of selected clinical factors and specific medication use (proton pump inhibitors, H2 receptor antagonists [H2 blockers], angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) with presence pneumonia in patients stroke undergoing acute inpatient rehabilitation.Matched case-control study a freestanding urban academic rehabilitation hospital. Participants were 72 survivors, consisting 36 who developed during hospitalization individually matched order decreasing priority on age,...
Mild food restriction for 48 h inhibits mating behavior in female musk shrews ( Suncus murinus). However, is restored after a 90-min feeding bout. In this series of experiments, we examined the role metabolic fuels behavioral restoration. First, drugs reported to block glycolysis or fatty acid oxidation were given 2 before mating. Both treatments inhibited food-restricted females that refed treatment. Blood glucose levels assessed fed ad libitum, restricted, restricted and 90 min. Food...
Radiofrequency ablation is used for the treatment of primary liver malignancies and metastases. In this case, authors performed percutaneous radiofrequency a solitary esophageal carcinoma metastasis within left hepatic lobe. Following procedure, patient developed colonic perforation with large right upper quadrant abscess. Although abscess nearly resolved after intravenous antibiotics drainage, ultimately colocutaneous fistula that required surgical excision hemicolectomy. The risks...
Objective: To characterize neurocognitive response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion during a multiday external lumbar drainage (ELD) trial in patients with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Methods: Inpatients (N = 70) undergoing an ELD as part of NPH evaluation participated. Cognition and balance were assessed using standardized measures before after three-day trial. Cognitive change pre- post-ELD was relation balance, baseline neuroimaging findings, symptoms,...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether differences in brain iron deposition observed with susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) can differentiate between Parkinson Disease and the Parkinson-Plus Syndromes. BACKGROUND: Patterns of be evaluated using SWI patients (PD), Multisystem Atrophy - Parkinsonian Type (MSA-P) tau protein-related conditions, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). Previous studies have suggested differential patterns putamen, red nucleus,...
The impact of the first wave COVID-19 (Feb-Apr. 2020) on imaging volumes has been widely explored, but responses to a subsequent (Oct-Dec. remain be investigated. In this study, cloud-based analytics tool (CBAT) collected monthly CT/MRI scan at large tertiary center from Oct 2019 Aug 2021. significantly lowered all forms imaging. second did not volumes, which remained pre-pandemic levels during/afterwards. CBAT ability assess impact/response towards two waves center.
