In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

stroke is an important cause of disability and death worldwide, with the majority of strokes occurring in older people. thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tpa) is the approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke. a major concern of physicians, who treat acute ischemic stroke with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tpa,) is the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage...

BACKGROUND Alteplase (tPA) is a United States (US) Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke, though there are significant barriers to thrombolytic use, including Emergency Physicians' (EPs') concern for level of supporting evidence. STUDY OBJECTIVES To review the medical literature on the topic of acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) management and to offer EP...

Objectives: To compare a system of prehospital thrombolytic therapy, delivered by paramedics under medical guidance, with in-hospital thrombolytic therapy in meeting National Service Framework (NSF) targets for treatment of acute myocardial infarction at a District General Hospital setting in England. Design: Retrospective observational case-control study comparing patients with suspected acute...

Successful Treatment of Axillary-Subclavian Artery Thrombosis by Catheter-Based Thrombolytic Therapy: A Case Report

PURPOSE To determine whether subclinical cholesterol embolization is a frequent sequela of thrombolytic therapy. Case reports of catastrophic cholesterol embolization temporally associated with thrombolytic therapy in 19 patients have suggested a causal relationship. PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively followed 60 patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent coronary bypass surge...

BACKGROUND QT dispersion (QTd) is equal to longer QTc minus shorter QTc measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). QTd reflects inhomogeneity in repolarization of ventricular myocardium and because of easy and fast measurement of QTd, it can be used to predict high-risk patients for dysrhythmia after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of thro...

BACKGROUND Many trials have been done to compare primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with thrombolytic therapy for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AMI). Our aim was to look at the combined results of these trials and to ascertain which reperfusion therapy is most effective. METHODS We did a search of published work and identified 23 trials, which to...

thrombolytic agents are among the medications that are used widely for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders and myocardial infarction (mi). despite the world-wide availability of newer specific agents, streptokinase (sk) is still the most frequently used medication from this class in iran. hence we conducted this study to review the adverse reactions to this medication which were reported ...
