<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases are a major cause of death disability. Predicting in-hospital mortality in ischaemic stroke patients can help to identify high-risk guide treatment approaches. Chart reviews provide important clinical information for prediction, but laborious limiting sample sizes. Administrative data allow large-scale multi-institutional analyses lack the necessary outcome research. However, administrative claims...
The relationship between specific motions and symptoms consistent with upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders (UECTDs) was investigated in 50 supermarket checkers. Each completed a questionnaire concerning UECTD symptoms; four composite symptom indices were derived: any arm symptoms, hand-wrist-lower (S-DIST), arm, specifically associated carpal tunnel syndrome (S-SPC). participant videotaped on at least two occasions while performing checking work. Analysis of these tapes assigned each...
Background Healthcare-associated infections are a major cause for worsening in ischaemic stroke patients. In addition to increased morbidity and mortality, healthcare-associated also result potentially preventable increase economic costs. Aims The aim of this study was identify infection incidence patients Japanese hospitals, conduct risk-adjusted analysis the associated clinical outcomes. Methods were identified 36 hospitals using an administrative database. Identification carried out...
Background Despite recent advancements in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO), infarct progression over time and functional outcomes remain variable. This variation may be partially attributed to an underlying state chronic cerebral hypoperfusion ischemia affecting small perforating arterioles, venules, capillaries brain; broadly termed disease (CSVD). We investigated association between CSVD burden degree disability following successful...
Penile calciphylaxis is a rare but clinically challenging condition to manage. While multiple treatment options have been proposed, the underlying evidence anecdotal, and overall prognosis remains extremely poor. We describe case of patient who underwent urgent debridement suspected gangrenous penile tip, was intraoperatively found calciphylaxis. The necrosis progressed had glans amputation. A non-healing wound developed, requiring reconstruction with two skin grafts using foreskin by...
To assess the effect of water intake on ultrasound tissue characteristics and hemodynamics adult livers.In February 2020, we prospectively performed shear wave elastography attenuation imaging (ATI) liver parenchyma, spectral Doppler sonography portal vein hepatic artery in 19 healthy volunteers (10 men 9 women, mean age 27 years, body mass index 24.65 kg/m2). We measured velocity (SWV, m/s), dispersion (SWD, m/s/kHz), coefficient (dB/cm/MHz), main (PVV, cm/s), peak systolic (PSV, end...
Ischemic strokes in both the anterior and posterior circulation can lead to visual deficits, which affect functional ability. Thrombolytic therapies are often withheld patients with deficits because of either being missed on initial evaluation or misconception that their not as severe disabling. Alternatively, delays patient arrival for emergent opportunities acute stroke treatment. This retrospective study aims explore differences perceived long-term disability who present vs those do a...
Introduction: The requirement for right ventricular-assisted device (RVAD) implantation portends poor outcomes after left (LVAD) implantation. We investigate RVF prediction models to help of RV failure requiring RVAD centrifugal-flow LVAD HeartMate3 (HM3) placement. Methods: A total 124 patients who underwent HM3 at our institution from 2015-2023 were included in analysis. collected clinical variables used EUROMACS Risk Score (Circulation 2018), Utah Model (Am J Cardiology 2010), Michigan...
Objective To elucidate the association between health care spending and quality of in ischaemic stroke patients Kyoto prefecture, Japan. Methods Municipalities were categorized into quartiles based on age–sex adjusted for admissions. We used logistic regression models to analyse if from lower municipalities less likely obtain high-quality care. The sample consisted admitted hospitals prefecture due February 2009 March 2010. Quality measures included process indicators such as diagnostic...
Mechanical thrombectomy 6–24 h after the last time where a patient was known to be without signs or symptoms of stroke is standard care for patients with due large vessel occlusion. This referred as within an extended window. There have been very few studies looking at who had seizures first week (early post-stroke seizures) following mechanical in this Our study suggests that group does not higher incidence early post seizures. findings do reveal however, may less favorable functional...

Background: Post tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) physiological and neurological vital sign checks are an important required part of stroke patient care. Physiological monitoring is aided by modern technology the ability to automate transfer data records alert nurses detrimental changes. The still a manual entry performance task that must be performed very frequently can take several minutes complete properly. Many systems have defaulted use NIHSS for these checks. Method: Using parts...
