Abstract Objective Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is often refractory to treatment. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation can help in preventing PHN after herpes zoster. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two different PRF modes on gasserian ganglion neuromodulation in elderly patients with acute/subacute trigeminal ...

Persistent hypoxemia after an asthma attack
The presence of an unknown intracardiac shunt due to a patent foramen ovale may be an unusual cause of hypoxemia. We report the case of a patient who presented persistent hypoxemia after an adequate treatment for a severe asthma attack requiring ...

Diagnosis of Patent Foramen Ovale
We read with great interest the improved echocardiographic diagnostic protocol for patent foramen ovale (PFO) by Rana et al. ([1][1]). We wish to highlight some relevant issues. Demonstrating the presence of PFO does not establish its etiopathogenic role in systemic embolization.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Hypoxemia
Patent foramen ovale (PFO), an embryonic remnant of the fetal circulation, is present in 20–25% of adults. Although recent observational studies and clinical trials have established the link between PFO-mediated right-to-left shunting with cryptogenic stroke and migraine with aura, the role of a PFO in exacerbating hypoxemic medical conditions (ie ...

Patent Foramen Ovale, Ischemic Stroke and Migraine: Systematic Review and Stratified Meta-Analysis of Association Studies [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Observational data have reported associations between patent foramen ovale (PFO), cryptogenic stroke and migraine. However, randomized trials of PFO closure do not demonstrate a clear benefit either because the underlying association is ...
