<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity data on longer-term effect pandemic over course year through second We sought to measure admissions, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), IVT, 1-year period at onset (March 1, 2020, February 28, 2021) compared with immediately preceding 2019, 29, 2020). <h3>Methods</h3> conducted longitudinal...
Human cytomegalovirus infection of the developing central nervous system (CNS) is a major cause neurological damage in newborn infants and children. To investigate pathogenesis this human infection, we developed mouse model CNS. Intraperitoneal inoculation animals with murine resulted virus replication liver followed by spread to brain. Virus CNS was associated induction inflammatory responses, including large number interferon-stimulated genes histological evidence focal encephalitis...
The expression of the preB cell receptor (preBCR), composed mu chain, surrogate light chains and Igalpha /Igbeta signal transduction unit, permits further differentiation Bcell precursors. C57BL/6 mice homozygous for an inactivating mutation membrane exon chain gene (C57BL/6muMT/muMT)) cannot form a preBCR are, consequently, devoid mature B lymphocytes. Here we present evidence that block development by muMT is incomplete in BALB/c mice. Unlike C57BL/6muMT/muMT), BALB/cmuMT/muMT) generate...

Objectives – To evaluate safety, clinical feasibility, and outcome of (IVen) administration recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) hemorrhage (IVH). Materials methods Forty-eight IVH who received IVen were compared 49 age-, sex-, Glasgow Coma Scale score-, Intracerebral Hemorrhage...
The effects of irradiation on different cell compartments in the submandibular gland were analyzed adult C57BL/6 mice exposed to X-ray and followed up for 10 days. Apoptosis was quantified using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling method (TUNEL). Cell proliferation detected immunohistochemistry proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA). Radiation-induced apoptosis occurred rapidly, reaching a maximum 3 days post-irradiation. percentage apoptotic...
Severe xerostomia is a common late radiation consequence, which occurs after irradiation of head and neck malignancies. The aim the present study was to analyze apoptosis proliferation their relationship during post-irradiation phase. C57BL/6 mice were locally irradiated in region with single dose 7.5 or 15 Gy submandibular glands collected at 40 90 days irradiation. To identify apoptotic cells, TUNEL method employed immunohistochemistry proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) used for...
We designed a retrospective study to analyze suicidal drowning deaths occurring between 1981 and 2005. During the period there were 134 cases of accounting 10% all suicides, 31% deaths. Of 76 (57%) incidents occurred in sea, 46 (34%) water wells, 8 (6%) rivers, 4 (3%) bathtubs. period, not identified males females under age 20. In aged 65 years older, represents most common type suicide. Commonly, victims sober at time incident. Cases committed wells are unexpectedly high, considering...
Our aim was to determine the frequency and characteristics of neurological post-COVID-19 syndrome diagnostic therapeutic measures that were used for treatment these patients. Data collected 243 patients examined during period 11 May 2021 22 June 2022. The inclusion criteria COVID-19 illness symptoms associated with COVID-19. exclusion non-neurological symptoms, who did not suffer from COVID-19, occurred after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 virus. 227 analyzed. Most presented multiple most...

Biol. 9:239–240, 2008—We report the case of a 57-year-old man who experienced recurrent episodes memory loss that resemble (TGA). The first episode lasted 20 minutes, second was 8 hours long.
Scuba diving has become increasingly popular in the last 20 yr. Although it is considered safe, accidents, sometimes with fatal outcomes, do occur. The incidence of diving-related CNS barotrauma low and been reported very infrequently. clinical presentation may range from minimal dysesthesias to complete quadriplegia, encephalopathy, or death. In this paper we present a case pneumocephalus 36-yr-old male scuba diver that presented minor neurologic symptoms. A discussion, including review...
Objective Chest tube thoracostomy is a standard procedure for pleural fluid and air drainage. The aim of this study to compare the success rate targeted using two different techniques: wire-guided (TWG) technique classical surgical (CS) technique. Methods was performed on 153 human cadavers without documented pathology, mechanically ventilated during procedure. They were divided into groups each cadaver software generated random number assigned. TWG applied 76 CS 77 cadavers. four subgroups...
