INTRODUCTION Patients with headache constitute up to 4.5% of emergency department (ED) visits. [1] Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an important cause of the headache that is more common than once suspected. The diagnosis of CVT is often missed or delayed because of nonspecific clinical manifestations, and brain computerized tomography (CT) may easily be misinterpreted. [2] Herein we report ...

A recently developed Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) sampling method is investigated here to assess its suitability for use in statistical sampling applications. CVT efficiently generates a highly uniform distribution of sample points over arbitrarily shaped M-Dimensional parameter spaces. On several 2-D test problems CVT has recently been found to provide exceedingly effective and effici...

BACKGROUND Muslim women tend to postpone their menstrual period using short course oral contraceptives (OC) during Ramadan, Muslims fasting month. Recently, many cases of stroke, particularly cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT), have been reported in Ramadan. OBJECTIVE This work studies the incidence of CVT and its relation to Ramadan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cohort study conducted from ...

BACKGROUND Many patients with asthma require frequent rescue medication for acute symptoms despite appropriate controller therapies. Thus, determining the most effective relief regimen is important in the management of more severe asthma. This study's objective was to evaluate whether ipratropium bromide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (CVT-MDI) provides more effective acute relief of bronchospa...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) varies between studies, but it is estimated to be between 2 and 5 per million per year. A recent study in the Netherlands with comprehensive ascertainment suggested a much higher incidence. It is uncertain whether these differing estimates reflect the quality of ascertainment or true variation. The purpose of this study wa...

“Telehealth” is a delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies. Clinical video telehealth (CVT) is a form of telehealth using a real-time video and audio transmission that is used to virtually connect a health care professional and a patient. CVT links the patient at a clinic closer to his or her home to a provider at another location. The goal of tele...

Reducing the availability and uptake of fatty acids is a plausible pharmaceutical target to ameliorate glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. CVT-3619 [2-{6-[((1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl) amino]purin-9-yl(4S,5S,2R,3R)-5-[(2-fluorophenylthio)methyl]oxolane-3,4-diol] is a partial A(1) adenosine receptor agonist with antilipolytic properties. Aims of the present study were to examine the acu...

in this study, postharvest characteristics of eight cut rose cultivars (valentine, king pride, prima donna, black baccara, victory, papagayo, royal baccara and yellow island) were investigated in a growth room with temperature of 20 ºc, relative humidity of 50% and light intensity of 10 µmol m-2 s-1 in autumn 2008. among cultivars significant differences were found for all of the attributes eva...

BACKGROUND It has been estimated that 1.3-6.4% of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are complicated by cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) at some point of time during the course of their disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed and subsequently analyzed data from 65 case reports of IBD patients with CVT. Our sources included MEDLINE and EMBASE, and the references of retrieved ...

Although pride has been central to philosophical and religious discussions of emotion for thousands of years, it has largely been neglected by psychologists. However, in the past decade a growing body of psychological research on pride has emerged; new theory and findings suggest that pride is a psychologically important and evolutionarily adaptive emotion. In this article we review this accumu...
