Endovascular recanalization treatment for acute ischemic stroke is a complex, time-sensitive intervention. Trip-and-treat an interhospital service delivery model that has not previously been evaluated in the literature and consists of shared mobile interventional team travels to primary centers provide on-site capability. We compared times between trip-and-treat traditional drip-and-ship model.We performed retrospective analysis on 86 consecutive eligible patients with secondary large vessel...

Brain radiation is a fundamental tool in neurooncology to improve local tumor control, but it leads profound and progressive impairments cognitive function. Increased attention quality of life has accelerated efforts understand ameliorate radiation-induced sequelae. Such progress coincided with new understanding the role CNS progenitor cell populations normal cognition their potential utility for treatment neurological diseases. The irradiated brain exhibits host biochemical cellular...

Adults with congenital heart disease are hospitalized at increasing rates in the Western world. Identification of and risk factors for hospitalization is essential research improving patient outcomes.We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis patients primary diagnosis tetralogy Fallot (TOF), transposition great arteries (both d- l-transposition [TGAs]), or single ventricle (SV). We investigated mortality, annual hospitalization, patient-specific unplanned cardiac...

Intracranial hemangioblastoma (HB) is a rare pathology. Limited data exist regarding its epidemiology.With the SEER-18 registry database, information from all patients diagnosed with intracranial HB 2004 to 2013 were extracted, including age, gender, race, marital status, presence of surgery, extent receipt radiation, tumor size, location, and follow-up data. Age-adjusted incidence rates overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazards model was employed for both univariate multivariate...

Introduction Despite the abundance of literature demonstrating safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness radiosurgery, access to radiosurgery in some parts world remains limited. The purpose this report is identify disparities for stereotactic (SRS) suggest possible solutions. Methods In study, we only focus on one SRS device (Gamma Knife) availability cost data. We utilized information from Elekta AB Gamma Knife sales records World Bank order calculate ratio devices per capita. According...

Background: There is limited experience in the community with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) administered 3 to 4.5 hours after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) onset. Many patients do not meet entry criteria of pivotal clinical trials because severe stroke, age >80, hypertension (sHTN), or history previous and diabetes. Whether rt-PA benefits these unclear. Thus, we investigated outcomes treated without adverse characteristics. Methods: Chart review AIS at a single...

OBJECTIVE Patients who have experienced subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) often receive care in the setting of ICU. However, SAH patients may not all require extended ICU admission. The authors established a protocol on January 1, 2015, to transfer select, low-risk step-down unit (SDU) streamline for patients. This study describes results implemented protocol. METHODS In this retrospective chart review, presenting with between 2011 and September 2016 were reviewed inclusion. control group...
