O u t c o m e s 30-day composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, reinfarction, or stroke. M a i n r e s u l t s 6 RCTs (3749 patients) met the selection criteria. Overall, transfer time was always < 3 hours. However, in 5 RCTs where data were available, the average additional time to primary PCI compared with immediate thrombolysis ranged from 70 to 103 minutes. Thrombolytic agents used includ...

abstract: in this paper, a new population-based search called the bees algorithm (ba) is presented to estimate the time-dependent heat transfer coefficient and the corresponding heat flux at the boundaries of a two-dimensional body subjected to transient heat conduction, using the temperature measurements at discrete nodal locations on the boundaries, where heat flux is specified as the boundar...

background: high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) is a systemic inflammatory marker that is produced in a large amount by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-1 (il-1), il-6 and tumor necrosis factor after ischemic stroke. methods: measurement of hs-crp in the first 24 hours of onset in 162 patients suffering from ischemic stroke was done. relation of crp with the risk of early mortality...

This work presents the first observation of a multi-stroke positive cloud-to-ground lightning flash sharing same channel to ground mapped with very high frequency broadband interferometer and Lightning Mapping Array. type is rarely observed, it currently unclear how frequent even under what conditions occurs. Our observations indicate scenario where downward leader initiates from decayed negati...

The national challenge for stroke services is to deliver evidence-based interventions in a timely fashion [1]. A key component of this strategy is the use of fast-track systems with stroke-specific assessment tools to rapidly evaluate patients presenting with suspected stroke [2]. This leads to patients being prioritised and the early initiation of appropriate clinical assessments and medical i...

Background Post-stroke care after hospital discharge suffers from lack of intersectoral collaboration within the public health sectors. Hence, primary care remains the only option in managing stroke patients in underserved areas in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the areas, which can be better coordinated to deliver optimal poststroke care in community setting. A seamless transfer of car...

background: stroke is a heterogeneous disease with several risk factors. high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) is a marker for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. recent studies have shown that high hscrp level is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. the objective of our study was to investigate the association of high hscrp (> 3 mg/l) levels with ischemic stroke and its subtypes i...

The present paper aims to study the effect of skill complexity during different delays on bidirectional transfer on bidirectional transfer of tracking task in different stages (pretest, acquisition phase, immediate transfer, one-day delayed transfer, two-day delayed transfer, and seven-day delayed transfer). Three variables including handedness, time lagges, and skill complexity were studied. T...

BACKGROUND Patterns in time, place and cause of death can have an important impact on calculated hospital mortality rates. Objective is to quantify these patterns following myocardial infarction and stroke admissions in Dutch hospitals during the period 1996-2003, and to compare trends in the commonly used 30-day in-hospital mortality rates with other types of mortality rates which use more ext...
