Prevalence of Stroke and Diagnostic Performance of Emergency MRI in Acute Isolated Dizziness
ABSTRACT Objective Stroke is frequently misdiagnosed in patients presenting with acute isolated dizziness; the optimal imaging modality for this population remains debated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of stroke among patients with isolated dizziness and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed ...

Risk factors of ischemic stroke and subsequent outcome in hemodialysis patients [PDF]
Background and purpose: End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (HD) carries up to a 10-fold greater risk of stroke than normal renal function. Knowledge concerning risk factors and management strategies derived from the general population

The effect of low concentrations of halothane on the cerebrovascular circulation in young children [PDF]
To determine the effect of halothane on cerebral blood flow velocity measured by transcranial Doppler, 23 healthy young children were studied during surgery. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopental, fentanyl and vecuronium, and maintained with halothane in 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen.

Homocysteine in cerebrovascular disease: An independent risk factor for subcortical vascular encephalopathy [PDF]
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for obstructive large-vessel disease. Here, we studied plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vitamins in patients suffering from subcortical vascular encephalopathy (SVE), a cerebral small-vessel disease leading ...
