Blood pressure after stroke. A one-year follow-up study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Blood pressure changes in the year after acute stroke have been poorly documented. METHODS We therefore studied blood pressure for 1 year after discharge from the hospital in 226 consecutive patients (mean age, 73 years) surviving an acute stroke. RESULTS Marked increases (p < 0.001) in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressures were seen in two thirds (69%) of ...

Cognitive functioning after stroke: a one-year follow-up study.

Giardia Lamblia.

Lectin binding by Giardia lamblia.

Surface carbohydrates of Giardia lamblia were examined using six plant lectins chosen because of their specificity for major carbohydrates moieties. The binding to axenically grown G. lamblia trophozoites was assessed in both a quantitative microagglutination assay and a fluorescence assay. Of the six lectins tested, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) agglutinated the highest percentage (22.9 +/- 3.7%...
