Susceptibility-diffusion mismatch predicts thrombolytic outcomes: a retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Asymmetric hypointensity of cerebral veins on susceptibility-weighted imaging has been shown to indirectly reflect tissue hypoxia after cerebral ischemia. We therefore investigated whether patients with prominent asymmetry of the cerebral veins on SWI and a relatively small diffusion-weighted imaging lesion (SWI-DWI mismatch), representing the presence of salvageable tiss...

Perfusion-weighted imaging/diffusion-weighted imaging mismatch on MRI can now be used to select patients for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator beyond 3 hours: con.

Of course, the “dead end street” refers to computed tomography (CT), “the healing look” to reading a stroke MRI, and being “given something that one really needs” to thrombolytic therapy. What do we need to establish that a new methodology is ready to be put to use instead of an older one? We need to show that it is at least as good, if not better, than the old modality with regard to safety, f...

"Clinical-CT mismatch" and the response to systemic thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mismatch between clinical deficits and imaging lesions in acute stroke has been proposed as a method of identifying patients who have hypoperfused but still have viable brain, and may be especially apt to respond to reperfusion therapy. We explored this hypothesis using a combined database including 4 major clinical trials of intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy. METHO...

Effective factors to select cesarean-section

Background:  A significant increase in cesarean section in worldwide is known as one of the health system problems. The WHO has estimated that cesarean section in recent years has been 10% in all countries. Despite the increasing popularity of cesarean section, the literature lacks insights about factors affecting the selection of this delivery method. In this vein, this study investigates the ...
