Pregnant women living in or traveling to areas with local mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission are at risk for infection, which can lead severe fetal and infant brain abnormalities microcephaly (1). In February 2016, CDC recommended 1) routine testing infection of asymptomatic pregnant ongoing the first prenatal care visit, 2) retesting during second trimester who initially test negative, 3) signs symptoms consistent disease (e.g., fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis) any time...
Cerebral microbleeds are a potential neuroimaging biomarker of cerebral small vessel diseases that prone to intracranial bleeding. We aimed determine whether presence can identify patients at high risk symptomatic haemorrhage when anticoagulated for atrial fibrillation after recent ischaemic stroke or transient attack.
Patients with suspected stroke first assessed by ambulance paramedics require early recognition to facilitate appropriate triage and treatment. We determined paramedic's accuracy in detecting acute signs comparing agreement between neurological recorded the Face Arm Speech Test (FAST), a instrument, on scene physicians after admission.Suspected patients admitted directly an unit through rapid protocol were examined trainee neurologist or admitting physician over 1-year period. Recorded...
<h3>Objective:</h3> In an international collaborative multicenter pooled analysis, we compared mortality, functional outcome, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume, and hematoma expansion (HE) between non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulation–related ICH (NOAC-ICH) vitamin antagonist–associated (VKA-ICH). <h3>Methods:</h3> We all-cause mortality within 90 days for NOAC-ICH VKA-ICH using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusted age; sex; baseline Glasgow Coma Scale score, location, log...
To compare intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume and clinical outcome of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC)-associated ICH to warfarin-associated ICH.In this multicenter cross-sectional observational study patients with anticoagulant-associated ICH, consecutive NOAC-ICH were compared those warfarin-ICH selected from a population 344 ICH. was measured by an observer blinded details. Outcome measures adjusted for confounding factors.We 11 52 warfarin-ICH. The median 2.4 mL (interquartile...
This multicenter study compared the use of a biosynthetic human skin substitute with frozen cadaver allograft for temporary closure excised burn wounds. Dermagraft-TC (Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc.) (DG-TC) consists synthetic material onto which neonatal fibroblasts are cultured. Burn wounds in 66 patients mean age 36 years and size 44% total body surface area (28% full-thickness) were surgically excised. Two comparable sites, each approximately 1% size, randomized to receive either DG-TC...
Human cadaver allograft skin (HCAS) is widely used for covering excised burn wounds when limited available donor sites or the overall patient condition does not permit immediate grafting with autologous skin. However, recurring problems are associated HCAS including supply, variable quality, ultimate immune rejection, and potential bacterial viral disease transmission. These speak need development of a dependable substitute HCAS. We evaluated ability biosynthetic analogue human to...
Background and Purpose Experimental stroke research has for the most part incorporated use of young animals despite importance aging in cerebrovascular disease humans. We hypothesized that age-related reductions density function cortical N -methyl- d -aspartate (NMDA) receptors might limit neuroprotective potential elderly. In this study, a model occlusive rat brain been developed used to establish effects age on cerebral infarction evaluate scope protecting during ischemia. Methods Focal...
Background and Purpose: The causes of recurrent ischemic stroke despite anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation are uncertain but might include small vessel occlusion. We investigated whether magnetic resonance imaging markers cerebral disease (SVD) associated with risk during follow-up in patients anticoagulated after recent or transient attack. Methods: analyzed data from a prospective multicenter inception cohort study attack (CROMIS-2 [Clinical Relevance Microbleeds Stroke Study]). rated...
Although the association between cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized, it not clear whether this because of impact recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) events, disruptions caused by small vessel damage, or both. We investigated considering before ICH was associated with neuroimaging features CAA on magnetic resonance imaging.We studied 166 patients neuroimaging-confirmed recruited to a prospective multicentre observational study....
To investigate whether enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) within the basal ganglia or deep cerebral white matter are risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage in patients taking oral anticoagulants (OACs), independent of established clinical and radiologic factors, we conducted a post hoc analysis Clinical Relevance Microbleeds Stroke (CROMIS-2) (atrial fibrillation [AF]), prospective inception cohort study.Patients with atrial recent TIA ischemic stroke underwent standardized MRI prior to...
These cases include immunoglobulin M-probable and polymerase chain reaction/ plaque-reduction neutralization testing confirmed of Zika virus disease among symptomatic persons; asymptomatic pregnant women are not included.† The prevention kit included the following items: insect repellent, permethrin, condoms, a mosquito bed net, dunks (a larvicide used to treat standing water), educational materials.
Background It is likely that a proportion of poststroke cognitive impairment sometimes attributable to unidentified prestroke decline; function also clinically relevant because it associated with poor functional outcomes, including death. We investigated the radiological and prognostic associations preexisting in patients ischemic stroke or transient attack atrial fibrillation. Methods Results included 1102 from prospective multicenter observational CROMIS ‐2 (Clinical Relevance Microbleeds...
Abstract Background Our objective was to examine occupational risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders of the neck, back, and knee among railroad maintenance‐of‐way (MOW) workers. Methods Four thousand eight‐hundred sixteen active, retired, disabled members Brotherhood Maintenance Way Employes Division (BMWED) completed a survey. We computed adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) using Poisson regression symptoms by work exposures, age, region, race/ethnicity, smoking, potential second job...
Background and Purpose— We investigated predictors for acute persisting periprocedural ischemic brain lesions among patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis randomized to stenting or endarterectomy in the International Carotid Stenting Study. Methods— assessed on diffusion-weighted imaging 1 3 days after treatment 124 107 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery month 86 75 patients, respectively. Results— had more (relative risk, 8.8; 95% confidence interval, 4.4–17.5; P <0.001) 4.2;...

Two Category 5 storms, Hurricane Irma and Maria, hit the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) within 13 days of each other in September 2017. These storms caused catastrophic damage across territory, including widespread loss power, destruction homes, devastation critical infrastructure. During large scale disasters such as Hurricanes public health surveillance is an important tool to track emerging illnesses injuries, identify at-risk populations, assess effectiveness response efforts. The USVI...
