Low-dose tissue plasminogen activator and standard-dose tissue plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke in Asian populations: a review.
BACKGROUND The burden of stroke is becoming an important issue in Asian countries, where half of the world's population lives. In Western populations, standard-dose intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg administered up to 4.5 h following acute ischaemic stroke has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. However, the dosage of tPA in Asian populations varies, par...
متن کاملLow-Dose Versus Standard-Dose Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke in Asian Populations
Recent studies have investigated the most efficacious dose of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. There remains no definitive consensus concerning the superior efficacious IV-tPA dose (standard- vs. low-dose), prompting us to perform a meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety profile of standard- versus low-dose IV-tPA.We identified...

Background: Thrombolytic therapy is the recommended treatment of acute ischemic stroke. It is crucial to evaluate the treatment results with recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (r-TPA) in patients with acute stroke. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes with r-TPA in patients with acute stroke in a referral stroke center in Iran. Materials & Methods: In this retrosp...

متن کاملLow-dose tissue plasminogen activator for calciphylaxis.
A 75-year-old man with end-stage renal disease presented with a 6-month history of nonhealing, markedly painful, necrotic ulcerations of the lower extremities (Figure 1A). The ulceration progressed in spite of multiple treatments elsewhere that included intensive wound care with wet-to-dry dressings, topical becaplermin, surgical debridement, and Unna boot dressings. A skin biopsy specimen demo...
