Twenty-four patients with caudate hemorrhage, in whom such definite organic lesions as arteriovenous malformations or ruptured cerebral aneurysms could not be proved, were analyzed. These cases comprise 2.0% of 1202 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage diagnosed by computed tomography and experienced from 1976 through 1987. Thirteen patients were male and 11 were female. Their average...

Background: High resolution CT scan has made early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) easier. Posttraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported to a greater extent because of the CT scan. Methods: 904 patients were admitted in the NSICU from March 2001 to March 2002 with severe closed head injury, of those only 31 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (GCS less than 8)...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Electrocardiographic abnormalities and elevations of the creatine kinase myocardial isoenzyme (CK-MB) occur frequently after subarachnoid hemorrhage. In some patients, a reversible and presumably neurogenic form of left ventricular dysfunction is demonstrated by echocardiography. It is not known whether cardiac injury of this type adversely affects cardiovascular hemodyna...

the aim of this study is to evaluate how far lempel-ziv complexity (lzc) of the binary symbolic sequences resulting from static or dynamic transformation (partitioning first-order difference) of the short-term electrocardiogram (ecg) signals (only 2 seconds duration) has the  potential in discriminating normal and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (vt/vf) subjects. the statistica...

conclusions chronic smoking caused left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. acute intake caused left and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. changes persisted up to 30 minutes after smoking, although diastolic blood pressure returned to normal state. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of smoking on the left and right ventricular (rv) diastolic funct...

this study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ecg) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (vt/vf). the raw ecg time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is highly sensitive for detecting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Understanding of the imaging characteristics of hyperacute ICH is limited secondary to availability and increased time to scan relative to other imaging modalities. OBJECTIVE In this report, we present the MRI characteristics of two patients who developed ICH while on the...

AIM This study was aimed at assessing the efficacy of endoscopic technique in surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. MATERIAL AND METHODS This paper focus on our experience (11 cases) of endoscopic removal of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. The paper presents examples of endoscopic removal of hematomas located in the basal ganglia (9 cases) and in the posterior fossa (2 cas...
