Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy of delayed burr hole surgery in relation to the reduction of postoperative subdural hematoma (SDH) volume in patients with acute SDH. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with acute SDH who received delayed burr hole surgery at our institute. Age, sex, Glasgow coma scale, maximal SDH thickness, volume of SDH, midline shifts, hounsfi...

Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) can manifest various neurologic symptoms. However, SDH presenting with only hand weakness has rarely been reported. We report two SDH cases with only hand weakness mimicking peripheral neuropathy. Since SDH can present with hand weakness only, we suggest the clinicians to do a careful history taking and recommend a CT scan in the elderly patients.

BACKGROUND Tanzania's socio-economic development is challenged by sharp inequities between and within urban and rural areas, and among different socio-economic groups. This paper discusses the importance of strengthening SDH research, knowledge, relevant capacities and responsive systems towards addressing health inequities in Tanzania. METHODS Based on a conceptual framework for building SDH...

To enable the transference of a large amount of data over long distances, it is required to use infra-structures denominated transport networks. This work is about NextGeneration Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (NG-SDH) transport networks, which result from the convergence between SDH networks and Ethernet networks. The changes introduced into the legacy SDH are studied, and a set of heuristic al...

Lysine catabolism in plants is initiated by a bifunctional LKR/SDH (lysine-ketoglutarate reductase/saccharopine dehydrogenase) enzyme encoded by a single LKR/SDH gene. Yet, the AtLKR/SDH gene of Arabidopsis also encodes a second gene product, namely a monofunctional SDH. To elucidate the regulation of lysine catabolism in Arabidopsis through these two gene products of the AtLKR/SDH gene, an ana...

In the long term, the synchronous SDH network may develop to the state where asynchronous networks will only exist at the periphery of the synchronous network, and all transport through the network is on SDH. However, this is an ideal model that may not be prevalent until well into the next century. At present, and during this intervening period as the SDH network evolves, the hybrid synchronou...

UNLABELLED Streptococcal surface dehydrogenase (SDH) (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [GAPDH]) is an anchorless major multifunctional surface protein in group A Streptococcus (GAS) with the ability to bind important mammalian proteins, including plasmin(ogen). Although several biological properties of SDH are suggestive of its possible role in GAS virulence, its direct role in GAS path...

Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) is involved in the polyol pathway, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. We have measured the tissue distributions of SDH mRNA, both the immunoreactive enzyme levels and the enzyme activity. SDH mRNA was especially abundant in liver, kidney and testis. Both the activity and enzyme content are high in liver and kidney but not in...
