Comparison of Diagnostic Criteria for Severe Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Background The diagnostic criteria for severe ischemic stroke (SIS) vary across studies. There are no generally accepted diagnostic criteria for SIS and no consensus on which criteria are most appropriate in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of these criteria by comparing their associations with death/disability

ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction increase mortality in multivessel pediatric pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS). Pulmonary vasodilator use is limited in PVS due to the perceived risk of pulmonary edema. We aimed to describe our experience with pulmonary vasodilators in PVS and to assess changes in RV function and ...
