BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Certain characteristics of early blood pressure (BP) profiles were reported to be independent predictors of long-term outcome in the first European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS-I) trial. The aim of the study was to find out the association of BP profiles with functional outcome, mortality, and hemorrhagic complications in the ECASS-II database. METHODS We studi...

Asymptomatic Hemorrhage After Thrombolysis May Not Be Benign: Prognosis by Hemorrhage Type of the Canadian Alteplase for Stroke Effectiveness Study Registry To the Editor: In their interesting article, Dzialowski et al report that asymptomatic hemorrhage after thrombolysis may not be benign and was associated with a worse outcome.1 Specifically, they found that hemorrhagic infarction–2 (HI-2) w...

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are tiny, round dark-signal lesions that are most often detected on gradient-echo MR images. CMBs consist of extravasations of blood components through fragile microvascular walls characterized by lipohyalinosis and surrounding macrophages. The prevalence of CMBs in elderly subjects with no history of cerebrovascular disease is around 5%, but is much higher in patien...

introduction: the effect of severe soft tissue injury on the severity of hemorrhagic shock is still unknown. therefore, the present study was aimed to determine hemodynamic and metabolic changes in traumatic/hemorrhagic shock in an animal model. methods: forty male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups including sham, hemorrhagic shock, soft tissue injury, and hemorrhagic shock + soft ...

Comparative studies of muscle tissue and liver pigs recovered from intracerebral hematoma were carried out using proteomics histology methods. The absence pathological changes in the muscles animals during accumulation proteins with molecular weights 70 to 15 kDa limbs, 50 20 back was established. At same time, destructive structure convalescents revealed masses less than kDa. Thus, it has been...

background: anticoagulation therapy is a routine treatment in patients with hemorrhagic cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt). however, fear of hemorrhagic complications and deterioration course following anticoagulation often disturbs the responsible physician. methods: this was a prospective observational study on consecutive cvt patients with hemorrhagic venous infarction or subarachnoid hemorrha...
