BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The temporal course of recanalization and its association with clinical outcome were analysed in our patients with cerebral sinus and/or venous thrombosis (CSVT) and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Between January 1998 and September 2014 all patients from our institutions with CSVT were systematically analysed. Baseline data, treatment characteristic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We present the first case of combined arterial (vertebral artery dissection) and venous [central sinus vein thrombosis (CSVT)] diseases presenting as Opalski syndrome in a female patient following induced delivery. CASE DESCRIPTION A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our institute two weeks after induced delivery with intriguing neurological findings that were finally d...

Photoluminescence (PL) studies in GaN thin films grown by infrared close space vapor transport (CSVT-IR) in vacuum are presented in this work. The growth of GaN thin films was done on a variety of substrates like silicon, sapphire and fused silica. Room temperature PL spectra of all the GaN films show near band-edge emission (NBE) and a broad blue and green luminescence (BL, GL), which can be s...

Aim To describe the incidence of term and preterm neonatal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) identify perinatal risk factors. Method This was a national capture-recapture calculation-corrected surveillance nested case–control study. Infants born at with magnetic resonance imaging-confirmed CSVT were identified by in all paediatric hospitals Germany (2015–2017). Incidence corrected for under...

Background—The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of thrombophilia on risk of first childhood stroke through a meta-analysis of published observational studies. Methods and Results—A systematic search of electronic databases (Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library) for studies published from 1970 to 2009 was conducted. Data on year of publication, study...

Objective Homocystinuria is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism caused by cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency that affects methionine metabolism. The clinical features are heterogeneous ranging from mental retardation, ectopia lentis, and osteoporosis to vascular events such as deep vein thrombosis, sagital sinus thrombosis, and myocardial infarction. Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CVS...

Objective: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is increasingly recognized in children with advanced use of neuroimaging techniques. In this study, we aimed to present clinical and radiologic features CSVT children. Material Methods: Children aged 1 month 18 years old diagnosed were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data patients including age at diagnosis, sex, presenting symptoms signs, ...

The most challenging problem in video transcoding is to determine the spatial resolution, given a target bit rate. The spatial resolution (i.e., frame size), chronological resolution (i.e., frame rate), and amplitude (i.e., SNR) are classically excluded during the quantization step size (QS) to code the video. In video streaming, similar video is regularly requested by receivers at different su...

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare but serious cerebrovascular disorder affecting children from the newborn period through childhood and adolescence. The incidence is estimated at 0.6/100,000/year, with 30-50% occurring in newborns. Causes are diverse and are highly age dependent. Acute systemic illness is the dominant risk factor among newborns. In childhood CSVT, acute infections...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have linked procoagulant factor VIII (F VIII) to an increased risk of venous thrombosis, whereas the relation between plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) and venous thrombosis remains poorly understood. Elevated VWF levels are frequently found in patients with cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis (CSVT), always in association with high F VIII levels. We de...
