Clinical characteristics were described. The degree disability...
To assess QOL of patients with stroke in comparison to other groups (caregivers and CHF patients), identify which items are more affected on each group what is the functional profile stroke. Consecutive or congestive heart failure (CHF) were evaluated compared their caregivers (caregivers). The NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D) scale applied. We 67 stroke, 62 caregivers. For patients, median NIHSS score was four. EQ-5D significantly worse as (0.52, 0.69 0.65, respectively)....
In most reported cases of central nervous system (CNS) demyelination following levamisole use, patients were exposed to at least one more known neurotoxic drug (contaminated cocaine or colon cancer combination therapy with fluorouracil). No reviews CNS isolated use have been published date. This study aimed assess clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features report an original case. A sensitive search strategy was used MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS (inception February 2021) databases for...
Arterial cerebral ischaemia has been described in different diseases of the thyroid. Likewise, venous thrombosis (CVT) reported association with hyperthyroidism.
