Sympathetic hyperactivity is a contributing cause of vascular disorders because it increases blood pressure, sugar, and lipids. Pervasive compromise the central peripheral autonomic nervous systems common in idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) resulting reduced sympathetic parasympathetic function. We hypothesized that IPD was associated with prevalence cardiovascular risk factors as result activity.We performed retrospective case-control study on 178 newly diagnosed consecutive patients, 533...
The use of antipsychotics is hindered by the frequent occurrence metabolic and cardiovascular side effects, resulting in worsened quality life greater mortality as a result cerebrovascular disorders schizophrenia patients than comparable general population. various induce extrapyramidal symptoms, impaired glucose lipid metabolism, weight gain, hypertension arrhythmias, with variable frequency. Second-generation appear to have several advantages over first-generation antipsychotics, including...
Background: The prognosis of cerebral metastases (MTS) is linked to progression both systemic and local disease. importance MTS resection has been already pointed out. observation a high mortality for not-neurological causes confirms that the modern treatments allow significant control disease within nervous system. Nevertheless, management difficulties increase with multiple lesions in these cases role surgery still be defined.Materials Methods: We collected clinical data patients operated...
Internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms involving the sphenoid sinus are uncommon, and their optimal treatment remains debated. We report case of a patient presenting with recurrent epistaxis due to bleeding cavernous ICA aneurysm. suggest combined endovascular endoscopic approach when occlusion may not be performed.
Spinal chronic subdural hematoma (SCSH) is a rare pathology usually associated with trauma or hematological alterations due to iatrogenic causes; rarely SCSH can be spontaneous. We report case of 79-year-old female who underwent surgical evacuation spontaneous one year after diagnosis. She presented severe paraparesis and showed considerable improvement in sensory-motor performances surgery. The treatment not well defined universally accepted. Early surgery mandatory cases presenting...
Pain relief obtained with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) has been shown to be more effective paddle leads than percutaneous catheters. A laminectomy is generally required implant the paddles, but surgical approach may lead iatrogenic instability flexion. In contrast, clinical and experimental data showed that a laminotomy performed through flavectomy minimal resection of inferior superior lamina preservation midline ligamentous structures allowed prevent...
Objective: The worldwide population aging and the nowadays medical advances impose to consider new management guidelines for elderly. Aim of this study was assess best treatment in elderly with multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA). Methods: From 1994 2011, we admitted 1462 patients ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Among those aged ≥65 years, 43 had MIA (15% elderly). Size aneurysm location, timing type were analyzed. Patients thus stratified according Hunt-Hess grade on admission evaluated at 6...
Needle biopsy is a routinely, relatively safe, and effective tool for patients with brain tumors not suitable surgical resection. Despite technical advancements, missed diagnosis still reported in up to 24% of cases. The aim this study investigate the role sodium fluorescein (NaFL), cheap safe fluorophore, setting mainly perspective an enhancement sampling accuracy.Between January 2018 March 2020, we prospectively enrolled 48 consecutive suspicion high-grade glioma receive NaFL-guided tumor...
Anastomosis to the superficial temporal artery is suitable in patients with functional and structural impairment of middle cerebral (i.e., complex aneurysms skull base tumors), as either definitive treatment or an additional safety measure. A shorter occlusion time a non-occlusive technique expected reduce risk ischemia following procedure. In this cadaver study, we assessed fitness C-Port xA(®) device for use (STA)-middle (MCA) bypass.Seven fixed human head specimens were prepared through...
