Filter by:This study is to investigate the predictors of post-stroke delirium, develop and validate a nomogram of post-stroke delirium in the ischemic stroke patients.
To observe the safety and efficacy of intensive drug therapy for ischemic stroke caused by severe intracranial arterial stenosis.Patients with acute stroke caused by intracranial arterial stenosis (stenosis rate ≥70%) were enrolled and accept dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin 100 mg/d and clopidogrel 75 mg/d for 90 days, followed by aspirin 100 mg/d for long term) under the guidance of platelet function analysis (Verifynow) combined with the intensive statin therapy (40 mg/d for 14 days, followed by 20 mg/d for long term).
The investigators continuously collected data from 482 AIS inpatients at the Neurology Department of Hebei General Hospital. Both demographic and clinical data were collected from the study subjects. Different head magnetic resonance imaging sequences were used to assess the subjects' CMBs, white matter lesions, and old lacunar infarcts (LI). Various statistical methods, including the t-test, χ2 test, and logistic regression, were used to analyze the gender heterogeneity of the influencing factors for CMBs in AIS patients.
Behçet's Disease activity was evaluated using BD Current Activity Form (BDCAF). Serum calprotectin and IMA concentrations were compared among active BD cases, inactive BD cases and control subjects.
The present study evaluates skin microvascular reactivity and coronary physiology in the same coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. This study is expected to find associations between systemic microvascular reactivity, measured non-invasively at the skin surface, and coronary reserve evaluated by the invasive angiographic method.
PROMISE aims at identifying novel diagnostic and prognostic circulating biomarkers for patients with acute stroke and at informing on crucial yet undetected pathophysiological mechanisms driving outcome after stroke by enriching all phenotypic information available from clinical routine with in-depth quantification of the circulating proteome and metabolome as well as other entities.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the differences in the features of cerebral multifrequency EIT(cMFEIT) images between healthy subjects and patients with brain diseases and to explore the possibility of applying multifrequency EIT to intracranial abnormality detection.16 healthy volunteers and 8 patients with brain diseases were recruited as experimental subjects, and the cerebral EIT data of 9 frequencies in the range of 21 kHz - 100 kHz of all subjects were acquired with an EH-300 MFEIT system.
It is a retrospective cross-sectional study, where consecutive stroke patients with vessel occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) will be included for the study for one year. The relation of Susceptibility vascular sign (SVS) on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) with risk factors and territory involved and length of thrombus will correlated with the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS).Among total number of patients included in this study the demographics of the patients will be calculated. Risk factors for stroke of the patients included in this study will tabulated. The site of occlusion will be tabulated. The mean NIHSS scale will be calculated. Presence of SVS in patients with MR angiography positive vessel occlusion will be calculate in percentage. Subgroup analysis of presence of SVS on SWI will be done. The mean length of the thrombus will be calculated in these patients with positive SVS. Correlation between SVS on SWI with the risk factor of the patient by using the chi-square test will be calculated. A Chi-square test will be done to find out the correlation between the SVS with territorial occlusion. The correlation between the NIHSS score and length of thrombus will be calculated using the Pearson test. SWI can be useful in identifying the location of the thrombus, and NIHSS can determine the thrombus length in acute stroke. A higher incidence of SVS can be associated with risk factors and it also depends upon the site of occlusion of the vessel.
A single center, prospective, observational study to compare fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) optimization strategies on the functional PCI result (assessed with FFR) immediately post PCI and at 9-12 months after the treatment of long coronary artery lesions.
Guidelines on the acute and long-term pharmacological treatment of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) recommend the use of thrombolytic, antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy depending on the aetiology of AMI and the use of stenting but only few details are given on the choice of the drug, dose and duration of treatment. Besides, recommendations are mainly based on data on coronary, cerebral and other peripheral artery diseases and do also not take into account the altered drug absorption in patients with short bowel syndrome, in which AMI can result.This case-based survey will inform us on the current international clinical practice of long-term antithrombotic management of AMI.
