Epidemiologic studies of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been undertaken worldwide since the new variant CJD outbreak in 1996 United Kingdom. A nationwide report system, Disease Surveillance Unit (CJDSU), directed by Centers for Control Taiwan, was established 1997 to identify human prion diseases.From 1998 2017, 647 cases were referred committee confirmation. The CJDSU included a structured questionnaire recording clinical, demographic data, and potential iatrogenic exposure, results...
Background and Purpose. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of common carotid artery occlusion in most reports. This study aimed to identify major causes compare clinical features duplex ultrasonography findings patients with attributable each cause. Methods. Patients documented by at Neurovascular Laboratory (National Taiwan University Hospital) from 1988 2003 were included. Medical records ultrasonographic reviewed detail clarify possible etiology occlusion. Results. A total 44 (male, 27...
The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy and criteria transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) in detecting severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.One hundred ninety-three patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease who received both TCCS magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) examinations were evaluated. Middle stenosis assessed by MRA graded as follows: grade 0, normal mild (< 50%); 1, focal (> or = 50% stenotic length within M1 prebifurcation segment); 2,...
We study the problem of deterministically extracting almost perfect random bits from multiple weakly sources that are mutually independent. With two independent sources, we have an explicit extractor which can extract a number matches best construction currently known, via generalized leftover hash lemma. also extend our to randomness more sources. One nice feature is still works even with all but one source exposed. Finally, apply for cryptographic task in group parties wants agree on...
Stenting for severe carotid stenosis has been proposed as an alternative patients with high surgical risk endarterectomy, but its effectiveness and safety never evaluated in large case series a pure Asian population. One hundred eighteen ethnic Chinese (mean age 72.8 years) 129 severely narrowed arteries were stented electively using self-expanding stents. The mean pre-treatment diameter was 85% final residual 14%. peri-procedural stroke death rate 4.2%. (0.8%) late ischemic 2 (1.7%) deaths...
<i>Background:</i> Stenting has been used as an alternative treatment for patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Color-coded duplex sonography (CDS) is able to measure not only the prestenting stenosis but also poststenting hemodynamic changes. The purpose of this study was quantify, using CDS, changes after ICA stenting. <i>Methods:</i> Both symptomatic and asymptomatic were included in study. degree before stenting required be more than 50%....
Background and purpose: Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) interleukin-6 (IL-6) are involved in inflammatory responses during large vessel occlusion animal models. The aim of this study was to investigate the intrathecal levels cytokines patients with acute small infarcts. Methods: Forty minor stroke 32 non-stroke (including 29 age- gender-matched subjects) who received operations spinal anesthesia were studied prospectively underwent measurements cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IL-1β IL-6 levels. Results:...
Timely intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy are the standard reperfusion treatments for large vessel occlusion stroke. Currently, it is unknown whether a low-dose thrombolytic agent (0.6 mg/kg alteplase) can offer similar efficacy to dose (0.9 alteplase).
