Interhospital transfer for patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been associated treatment delays.
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) exhibit varied clinical manifestations, and high-grade cases are associated with both a risk of hemorrhage (in certain cases) dementia. Less known, however, is the association between DAVF more subtle cognitive changes, which might not be clinically apparent without formal neurocognitive testing. This study prospectively assesses baseline changes in patients unruptured DAVFs looks at effects treatment on any such changes....
Intravenous thrombolysis improves outcomes in acute ischemic stroke a time-dependent fashion. As teaching hospitals, clinical may worsen due to the arrival of new inexperienced house staff early academic year (July effect, JE), we evaluated impact "JE" on door-to-needle time for intravenous and other outcomes. In this retrospective cohort study, assessed all strokes treated with between July 2003 June 2016. Among 101 patients, there was no detrimental effect time, rate within 60 minutes...

Objective To assess levels of blood inflammatory markers (IM) in patients with cerebral artery dissections (CAD) and without stroke. Compare CAD stroke other etiologies healthy controls. Evaluate the relationship between IM, imaging patterns outcomes. Background Acute inflammation developed after is an important mechanism by which cells penumbra degenerate modifying infarct volume. IM may reflect outcomes constitute useful biomarkers. Little known about IM. Methods Design Retrospective...
Objective: To evaluate immunologic status, clinical presentation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination, brain magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) and histopathology from adult patients with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) Background: PCNSL is a rare infrequent form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma restricted to the System. More than 90[percnt] are B-cell type affect between 50-70 years old. The most important risk factor associated development immunodeficiency Methods: We enlisted...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prognostic factors for the development of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and to develop a risk assessment scale. BACKGROUND: Autonomic is an important morbidity mortality factor amongst GBS. There clear evidence that greater quadriplegic patients, respiratory failure or bulbar deficit. However, information about AD also lacking. DESIGN/METHODS: We conducted retrospective analysis all medical records GBS admitted our...
Abstract Background Limited research exists regarding the impact of neuroimaging modality on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) decisions for late window large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke cases. Purpose This study assesses whether perfusion CT imaging: 1) alters proportion recommendations EVT, and 2) enhances reliability EVT decision-making compared to non-contrast angiography. Materials Methods We conducted an online survey using 30 patients drawn from institutional database 3144 acute...

Introducción: Se entiende por lesión catastrófica a cualquier trauma grave que comprometa la cabeza, el cerebro, columna vertebral o médula espinal, pone en riesgo vida puede dejar una discapacidad permanente semipermanente. En Argentina, incidencia de lesionados ámbito del rugby es alta comparada con otros países. los últimos años, se han implementado múltiples medidas prevención y modificado normas objetivo evitar las lesiones catastróficas.
