We studied the relations between reported alcohol use and the incidence of hospitalization for several types of cerebrovascular disease. Daily consumption of three or more drinks, but not lighter drinking, was related to higher hospitalization rates for hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, especially intracerebral hemorrhage. Age, blood pressure, and black race were other independent predictors...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neurologic involvement in Behçet disease, also known as NBD, is one of the most devastating manifestations of the disease. The precise pathologic mechanism of parenchymal NBD lesions has not been established. We evaluated lesion characteristics and probable venous hemorrhage in parenchymal NBD by using SWI, and we compared the imaging results with conventional MR imaging ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the role of Intradermal Provocation (IDP) tests in Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE). STUDY DESIGN Quasi-experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Dermatology Unit, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, from August 2004 to July 2006. METHODOLOGY The tests were performed in 96 patients in two stages. At stage I, suspected drugs were given intradermally. Changes at injection s...

10 Cowpox viruses (CPXV) cause hemorrhagic lesions (“red pocks”) on infected 11 chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) of embryonated chicken eggs, while most other 12 members of the genus Orthopoxvirus produce non-hemorrhagic lesions (“white 13 pocks”). Cytokine response modifier A (CrmA) of CPXV strain Brighton Red (BR) is 14 necessary but not sufficient for the induction of red pocks. To identify a...

Although studies have demonstrated that several specific brain lesions are related to the severity of functional outcomes, the effects of specific brain lesions are not yet clear. This study investigated the effects of hemorrhagic stroke lesions on motor recovery. Eleven subjects with hemorrhagic stroke were assessed. Using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and functional ambulation category, clinical ...

Subulura brumpti infection was observed in Japanese quails and caused heavy production loss up to 10%. Gross lesions were confined to caecum of the affected birds. Pathological changes suggestive of acute cecal hemorrhagic enteritis were recorded. Closer observation of the cecal loop revealed wavy movement with thousands of tiny worms. Based on morphometry, the worms were identified as S. brump...

Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the added value and current applications of SWI in diagnosis pediatric non-neoplastic neurological diseases, including its ability characterize hemorrhage various brain lesions important role evaluation both arterial as well venous ischemic lesions. Results Forty patients with a median age 9 years were included our prospective study; 23 males 17 fe...

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common problem worldwide that most of traumatic patients suffer from mental and cognitive disorders. The most common trait of this disorder, defined by computed tomography (CT) scan is small hemorrhagic lesions in cerebral white matter of the patient. These hemorrhagic lesions seem to be an effective factor for occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptom...
