PURPOSE This report describes the development and preliminary analysis of a database for traumatically injured military service members with dysphagia. METHODS A multidimensional database was developed to capture clinical variables related to swallowing. Data were derived from clinical records and instrumental swallow studies, and ranged from demographics, injury characteristics, swallowing b...

Understanding how thermal selection affects phenotypic distributions across different time scales will allow us to predict the effect of climate change on the fitness of ectotherms. We tested how seasonal temperature variation affects basal levels of cold tolerance and two types of phenotypic plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster. Developmental acclimation occurs as developmental stages of an o...

A 41 years old male, known case of valvular heart disease on anticoagulants was operated for chronic subdural hematoma 4 days back at another facility (Fig. 1). Despite hematoma evacuation patient did not show the expected neurological recovery, rather his clinical condition had deterioration. At the time of admission patient was drowsy with Glasgow coma score of E2V2M3 and had pupillary asymme...

Objective: Case reports and retrospective review of remote cerebellar hemorrhage after microsurgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms. Methods: The medical and pathologic records were reviewed of 13 patients with remote cerebellar hemorrhage occurred after microsurgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms procedure during 2013-2014. Clinical symptoms, pathological mechanisms, treatments, and p...

Hyponatremia and hyperglycemia are common metabolic disorders which could worsen the outcome after a cerebrovascular accident (stroke). This study aimed to evaluate impact of hyponatremia on stroke its clinical outcome, including morbidity mortality. prospective cohort included 50 patients admitted in tertiary care hospitals. Stroke severity, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), conscious level, gag refle...

Infection with Plasmodium falciparum can cause severe disease in the non-immune individual. Cerebral malaria is in most cases just one of the organs affected by the disease. The direct cause of coma in cerebral malaria remains obscure. A compromised microcirculation, with sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes, is central in the pathogenesis. Intravenous artesunate is superior to quinine in ...
