Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively rare cause of stroke and has a wide spectrum of unspecific symptoms, which may delay diagnosis. There are many etiologies, including hematological disorders, trauma, infection, and dehydration. Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) has been reported as an extremely rare cause of CVT, especially in adults.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been reported as an uncommon complication of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Since this is a rare presentation, we report a patient with SIH complicated by CVT and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A 43-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of orthostatic headache and neck stiffness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain demonstrate...

BACKGROUND In September 2004, rofecoxib (Vioxx) was removed from the market after it was found to produce a near doubling of cardiovascular thrombotic (CVT) events in a placebo-controlled study. Its manufacturer stated that this was the first clear evidence of such risk and criticized previous analyses of earlier CVT risk for focusing on investigator-reported events. We studied contemporaneousl...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The common entity cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is associated with the poorly characterized imaging finding of parenchymal abnormalities; diffusion-weighted imaging has offered some insight into these manifestations. We assessed the relationship between the diffusion constant from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CV...

Background Few studies have investigated structural imaging findings of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in China. The structural imaging [head computed tomography (CT) and routine brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] can assess any parenchymal lesion secondary to the venous thrombosis and reveal direct signs of intraluminal thrombus. In recent years, many patients can be diagnosed with CVT ...

We report on a modified chemical vapor transport (CVT) methodology for the growth of pure and intercalated Zr, Ti, Hf dichalcogenide single crystals, e.g. ZrTe2, Gd0.05ZrTe2, HfTe2, Cu0.05TiTe2. While most common method CVT is carried out in quartz tubes subjected to temperature gradient between charge location, using this isothermal-CVT (ICVT) takes place isothermally sealed placed horizontall...

INTRODUCTION Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is still a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, due to its high variability of clinical manifestations and its lack of a clear therapeutic consensus. SOURCES A search of the medical literature was made through PubMed using the conjoined terms of CVT and epidemiology (428 results), pathophysiology (504 results), aetiology (2714 results...

The natriuretic and diuretic action of a highly selective adenosine A1 receptor (A1AdoR) antagonist, 1,3-dipropyl-8-[2-(5,6-epoxy)norbornyl]xanthine (CVT-124), was investigated in anesthetized rats. CVT-124 (0.1 to 1 mg/kg) caused dose-dependent increases in urine flow and fractional and absolute sodium excretion of by six- to 10-fold and, at 0.1 mg/kg, increased the GFR (1.6+/-0.1 to 2.5+/-0.2...

Strokes in the young account for nearly 30% of all cases of stroke in India1 and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) accounts for 10-20% of these cases.2 Two-thirds of them develop the same in the post-partum period. In the recent years, a number of inherited and acquired pro-thrombotic states have been identified. However, the exact etiology of CVT remains unidentified in a significant proportion...

With the increase in capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) operation life, CVT impedance changes, and short-time switching of overhead lines, it is very easy to cause a transient oscillation accident which participates, reduce insulation level CVT, even induce regional power grid easily breakdown, after long-term with defects. In this paper, whole network, including generator, grid, consumer, mod...
