Recent advances in diagnostic approaches for sub-arachnoid hemorrhage

Genetic associations of intracranial aneurysm formation and sub-arachnoid hemorrhage

Risk factors for cerebral aneurysms typically include age, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol usage. However, the possible connection of aneurysms with genetic conditions such as Marfan's syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, and neurofibromatosis raises the question of possible genetic risk factors for aneurysm, and additionally, genetic risk factors for rupture. We conducted a literature revie...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Vasopressors for Sub-arachnoid Anaesthesia in Obstetrics

Despite recent studies which suggest that spinal anaesthesia may not be the safest option for the fetus when caesarean section is required, it has, for many years, been the preferred technique for the majority of anaesthetists. This is primarily due to the benefits conveyed to the mother. There are, however, a variety of complications and side effects associated with central neuraxial blockade ...

Sub-Arachnoid Hæmorrhage

THE question of sub-arachnoid hemorrhage is one which the majority of medical textbooks practically ignore, though recently several articles have been published in the medical journals. It is not as rare a condition as is generally believed, as sporadic cases are continually occurring, and occasionally one finds what might almost be called a mild epidemic. At one time, in the summer of 1931, I ...
