background: unlike the western hemisphere, information about stroke epidemiology in southern iran is scarce. the aim of this study was to determine the main epidemiological characteristics of patients with stroke and its mortality rate in southern iran. methods: a retrospective, single-center, hospital-based longitudinal study was performed at nemazee hospital in shiraz, southern iran. patients...

Objective: Despite less common, cerebellar stroke frequently results in unfavorable outcomes, especially after deterioration. Therefore, this study was aimedto identify the significant predictors of neurological deterioration during admission (NDDA) ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.Material Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all medical records patients diagnosed with strokes; 2002-2018, Song...

Strokes—caused by a disturbance of blood supply to the brain— are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.1 In the majority of cases, strokes are caused by a blockage of the blood supply (known as an ischemic stroke), but another type of stroke (hemorrhagic stroke) is caused by the rupture of a vessel or aneurysm. Strokes can result in soft tissue damage and loss of brain function. Tr...

BACKGROUND Some studies have found that egg consumption is associated with a higher risk of ischemic heart disease in patients with diabetes. Epidemiologic studies of egg consumption in relation to risk of heart failure (HF) and stroke types are scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine whether egg consumption is associated with incidence of HF, myocardial infarction (MI), or str...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to help neurologists managing atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who had an ischemic stroke and/or with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) markers, therefore at high embolic/hemorrhagic risks. RECENT FINDINGS Implantable loop recorders have substantially improved the accuracy of AF detection. Recent research yielded a set of powerful neuroimaging markers that can ...

BACKGROUND Stroke is a rare but potentially devastating complication of acute myocardial infarction. Little is known about stroke timing, characteristics, and clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 5372 patients enrolled in the Assessment of Pexelizumab in Acute...

Introduction: Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in the areas of brain. One main causes aphasia stroke. There are currently not many studies describing profiles stroke patients, especially those with aphasia. This study aims to describe and compare without Method: used descriptive analytic design cross-sectional method sample 217 patients who were admitted Dr. Soetomo General Hospi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The recently published Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels (SPARCL) study showed that statins exert a marginally beneficial effect on stroke prevention in patients with a history of cerebrovascular disease. Interestingly, the magnitude of the beneficial effect shown in this study is smaller than in similar studies, which included patients witho...
