Complete Prevention of Cerebral Accidents in Malignant Hypertension

Complete prevention of cerebral accidents in malignant hypertension.

IT HAS been shown that arterial necrosis and inflammation seen in malignant hypertension can be prevented in a given territory lay partial ligation of the nourishing artery. In the "endocrine kidney" procedure, in which the aorta between the origin of both renal arteries is partially ligated, the vessels situated below the ligature remain normal whereas severe periarteritis develops above it as...

Malignant Hypertension Associated with Rhabdomyosarcoma

The Hypertension is divided into two types: primary and secondary. the secondary type, is particularly due to renal and arterial origin and is mostly seen. In children the Secondary hypertension caused by malignancies is rare. This is a case of abdominal rhabdomyosarcoma with malignant hypertension.

Impaired cerebral autoregulation in patients with malignant hypertension.

BACKGROUND In patients with a malignant hypertension, immediate parenteral treatment with blood pressure-lowering agents such as intravenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is indicated. In this study, we evaluated static and dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) during acute blood pressure lowering with SNP in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS In 8 patients with mean arterial pressure (MAP) >140...

Prevention of pedestrian accidents.

Child pedestrian accidents are the most common road traffic accident resulting in injury. Much of the existing work on road traffic accidents is based on analysing clusters of accidents despite evidence that child pedestrian accidents tend to be more dispersed than this. This paper analyses pedestrian accidents in 573 children aged 0-11 years by a locally derived deprivation score for the years...
