Importance Multiple continuous intravenous anesthetic drugs (CIVADs) are available for the treatment of refractory status epilepticus (RSE). There is a paucity data comparing different types CIVADs used RSE. Objective To systematically review and compare outcome measures associated with initial CIVAD choice in RSE accordance Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses guidelines. Evidence Review Data sources included English non-English articles using Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed,...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Previous studies have quantified CSF flow in patients with Chiari I at the foramen magnum single-axial or single-sagittal PCMR. The goal of this study was to measure velocities multiple cervical spinal levels malformation. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> In a patient registry, consecutive without surgery who had PCMR images 5–8 axial planes between and C4 were identified. Four contiguous regions defined from C4. each region, fastest positive (PSV) negative (PDV)...
Introduction: Prolonged immobility in patients the intensive care unit (ICU) can lead to muscle wasting and weakness, longer hospital stays, increased number of days restraints, hospital-acquired infections. Increasing evidence demonstrates safety feasibility early mobilization ICU. However, there is a lack mobilizing with external ventricular drains (EVDs). The purpose this study was determine mobility patient population. Methods: We conducted prospective, observational study. All were...
Herein, the authors present case of a 54-year-old male diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during screening test. The patient was asked to self-isolate at home and report any exacerbations symptoms. He presented later pneumonia complicated by encephalopathy days 14 15 from initial diagnosis, respectively. MRI brain showed bithalamic gangliocapsular FLAIR signal abnormality mild right-sided thalamic periventricular diffusion restriction. A CT venogram obtained given...
Introduction: Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is an acquired demyelinating lesion of the basis pontis that typically occurs after rapid correction hyponatremia. There are only a few reported cases patients without symptoms have demonstrated CPM on imaging. Case Presentation: We report case 26-year-old Hispanic male with history alcohol abuse who was transferred to our medical center for acute onset diffuse abdominal pain. During his work up, computed tomography scan large pancreatic mass....
Background and Purpose: As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a global pandemic, there is growing body of evidence suggesting that incidence diseases require emergent care, particularly myocardial infarction ischemic stroke, has declined rapidly. The objective this study quantify our experience telestroke (TS) consults at large tertiary comprehensive stroke center during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neuroferritinopathy is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that includes a movement disorder, cognitive decline, and characteristic findings on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to abnormal iron deposition. Here, we present late-onset case, along with diffusion tensor (DTI).We report the case of 74-year-old Caucasian female no significant past medical history who presented for evaluation orofacial dyskinesia, suspected be edentulous dyskinesia given her ill-fitting...
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality has waned significantly over time; however, factors contributing towards this reduction largely remain unidentified. The purpose of study was to evaluate the trend in at our large tertiary academic health system and trend. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort intensive care unit (ICU) patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between March August 2020 admitted across 14 hospitals Philadelphia area. Collected data included demographics,...
OBJECTIVE MRI and MRA studies are routinely obtained to identify the etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The diagnostic yield MRI/MRA in setting an acute ICH, however, remains unclear. authors’ goal was determine utility early detecting underlying structural lesions ICH patients whom additional imaging during hospitalization could safely be foregone. METHODS authors reviewed data 400 with spontaneous diagnosed on noncontrast head CT scans who underwent between 2015 2017 at their...
Dihydroergotamine (DHE) is primarily a serotonin 5HT1B and 5HT1D receptor agonist used for acute migraine treatment. It associated with vasoconstriction mediated through the contraindicated in patients history of cardiac disease peripheral vascular disease. We present case arterial vasospasm patient primary Raynaud phenomenon while receiving inpatient treatment status migrainosus intravenous (IV) DHE. The 35-year-old female chronic phenomenon. After 15 doses IV DHE, reported paresthesias...
