We tested the hypothesis that transcranial Doppler embolic signal (ES) detection identifies an increased risk of ipsilateral carotid stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in subjects with asymptomatic severe stenosis.Subjects duplex-determined 60% to 99% stenosis, without other apparent cerebroembolic sources, underwent 6-monthly neurological assessment and 60-minute ES monitoring. positivity was defined as > =1 detected study, negativity no any consistent study where =6 studies were...
Background and purpose: Until now stroke transient ischaemic attack (TIA) have been clinically-based terms which describe the presence duration of characteristic neurological deficits attributable to intrinsic disorders particular arteries supplying brain, retina or (sometimes) spinal cord. Further, infarction has pathologically defined as death neural tissue due reduced blood supply. Recently it proposed we shift definitions TIA determined by neuroimaging results alone that findings be...
BackgroundEmpagliflozin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 on the basis of its anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and haemodynamic effects. The RECOVERY trial aimed to assess safety efficacy in patients admitted hospital with COVID-19.MethodsIn randomised, controlled, open-label trial, several possible treatments are compared usual care hospitalised COVID-19. In this analysis, we eligible consenting adults who were randomly allocated 1:1 ratio either standard alone or plus oral...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends social distancing (We use the term in concordance with CDC, but note call to shift of physical as a more appropriate term) prevention strategy COVID-19; however, there is evidence this recommendation has not been taken seriously by adolescent young adult (AYA) populations. One public example was participation many students traditional Spring Break activities at time when World Health Organization had already declared COVID-19 pandemic...
Background and Purpose — In patients with both symptomatic asymptomatic carotid artery stenoses, the relationship between plaque characteristics transcranial Doppler (TCD)–detected microembolic signals (MES) is unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine macroscopically described MES in undergoing endarterectomy. Methods Sequential scheduled for endarterectomy underwent preoperative 30-minute TCD monitoring ipsilateral middle cerebral detect MES. signal analysis, by researchers who...
Background: In the last 20–30 years, there have been many advances in imaging and therapeutic strategies for symptomatic asymptomatic individuals with carotid artery stenosis. Our aim was to examine contemporary multinational practice standards. Methods: Departmental Review Board approval this study obtained, 3 authors prepared 44 multiple choice survey questions. Endorsement obtained by European Society of Neuroradiology, American Functional African Academy Neurology. A link online...
High numbers of microembolic signals (MES) have been associated with increased risk postoperative stroke after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We sought to identify factors predictive MES.Transcranial Doppler monitoring the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery for MES was performed 30 minutes during first hour in sequential patients undergoing CEA. Stepwise binomial logistic regression analysis preoperative and intraoperative variables that predicted occurrence MES.We studied 141 (mean age, 69...
Abstract One hundred fifty patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy were randomly assigned to receive intravenous 10% dextran 40 or placebo. Transcranial Doppler monitoring of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery 0 1 hour postoperatively detected embolic signals in 57% placebo and 42% patients, with overall signal counts 46% less for ( p = 0.052). Two 3 hours postoperatively, present 45% 27% 64% 0.040). We conclude that reduces within CEA.
Post-operatively detected transcranial Doppler (TCD) embolic signals (ES) are associated with an increased risk of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) stroke/TIA. The aims here were to quantify this and determine the most efficient monitoring protocol.Sequential patients undergoing CEA (enrolled in a randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial peri-operative dextran therapy) had 30-min TCD first post-operative hour. was also performed 2-3, 4-6 24-36 h post-operatively. First hour ES counts...
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
Abstract Survey researchers are continually evaluating approaches to increase response rates, especially those that can be implemented with little or no costs. In this study, we experimentally evaluated whether not including Quick Response (QR) codes in mailed recruitment materials for self-administered web surveys increased survey participation. We also assessed mailing these a non-standard envelope size (6 × 9 inch) yielded higher rate than invitations standard, #10 (4.125 9.5 inch). These...
