Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability, morbidity, and mortality. The effect the acute respiratory distress syndrome lung (ARDS/ALI) on in-hospital mortality after TBI remains controversial.To determine epidemiology ARDS/ALI, prevalence risk factors, impact in United States.Retrospective cohort study admissions adult patients>18 years with diagnosis ARDS/ALI from 1988 to 2008 identified through Nationwide Inpatient Sample.During 20-year period, increased 2% (95%...
The risk factors predictive of intracranial aneurysm rupture remain incompletely defined.To examine the association between various nonmodifiable and in a large cohort patients evaluated at single institution.A retrospective analysis admitted to cerebrovascular facility January 2006 2010 with primary diagnosis cerebral aneurysm. Aneurysms were divided into 2 groups: unruptured or ruptured. dome diameter, aspect ratio (AR), location, sidedness, neck morphology, multiplicity entered central...
Purpose: To determine the epidemiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and impact on in-hospital mortality in admissions patients with ischemic stroke (AIS) United States. Methods: Retrospective cohort study a diagnosis AIS ARDS from 1994 to 2008 identified through Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Results: During 15-year period, we found 55 58 091 AIS. The prevalence increased 3% 4% ( P < .001). was more common among younger men, nonwhites, associated history congestive heart...
Objective: This study has explored the impact of Hunt-Hess (H-H) grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) on glycemic status such patients during their intensive care unit (ICU) stay and also analyzed whether H-H predicts outcome independent status. Materials Methods: was a retrospective case record review prospectively maintained database 1090 previously non-diabetic aSAH admitted to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia. SAH, serum CSF glucose admission, day surgery 14...
Chronic shoulder pain not relieved by either conservative or surgical management is referred to as chronic refractory pain. This a retrospective case series where patients were treated with peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) pulsed radiofrequency (p-RF) therapy the suprascapular nerve. Both receiving PNS reported 100% relief for first month. At 3- and 6-month follow-ups, one patient continued experience while other 90% relief. One undergoing p-RF experienced about at both 1- 3-month...
Abstract: A 62-year-old male diagnosed with cervical dystonia (CD) and chronic right-sided neck pain presented to the Pain Clinic after his CD symptoms failed resolve botulinum toxin therapy. During clinical examination, right C3-C4 C4-C5 facet arthropathy was suspected. After two sets of diagnostic cervical, C3, C4, C5 medial branch blocks provided > 80% relief; radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) performed. Post CRFA, patient followed for 12 months. Till last follow-up, he not only experiencing...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine in 2 subjects with Myotonia Congenita. DESIGN/METHODS: We identified patients Congenita being routinely treated for concurrent diagnosis Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Evaluation before and after infusion included self-reported score myotonia severity a neurological examination to determine presence degree eyelid handgrip myotonia. Functional measurements time required close open one hand or eyes protrude tongue 10 times. Time grip...
OBJECTIVE: To test the global validity of a staging system for Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients that was proposed in Europe by Roche et al and to offer necessary improvisations. BACKGROUND: ALS is progressive neurodegenerative disease with prevalence 1-2 per 100,000 median survival 2-3 years. There an increased demand clinical understand prognosis, judicious resource management effective research designing. DESIGN/METHODS: We tested on from PRO-ACT database, which multi-national...
