Hyperglycemia in acute cerebral infarction.

About hyperglycemia during acute stroke.

About Hyperglycemia During Acute Stroke To the Editor: Having completed a pilot clinical trial of aggressive hyperglycemia correction during acute cerebral infarction, we read with interest the recently published American Heart Association guidelines that include new suggestions for managing hyperglycemia during acute stroke.1 Although the guidelines clearly declare their lack of support by cli...

The Frequency of Cerebral Microembolism in Acute Myocardial Infarction

ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke is more common in patients with cerebral microembolisms. Frequency of cerebral microembolisms (high intensity transient signals, HITS) in acute myocardial infarction has been reported about 17%. The factors that influence on microembolism after myocardial infarction (MI) are not definitive. Type of MI, Ejection fraction, Hx of Streptokinase is the factors that were...

Recurrent Seizures Following Focal Motor Status Epilepticus in a Patient with Non-Ketotic Hyperglycemia and Acute Cerebral Infarction

Focal motor status epilepticus (FMSE) is often associated non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH). There are no previous reports describing FMSE with NKH that was accompanied by an acute cerebral infarction and its long term follow-up result. We describe the case of a patient having focal motor status epilepticus (FMSE) associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) and acute cerebral infarction who l...

Metabolism of Biogenic Amines in Acute Cerebral Ischemia: Influence of Systemic Hyperglycemia

Comparison of admission serum glucose concentration with neurologic outcome in acute cerebral infarction. A study in patients given naloxone.

We studied the ability of serum glucose concentration and neurologic deficits at admission in predicting the outcome of acute cerebral ischemia in 65 patients given naloxone. Among our patients, the volume of infarction on computed tomograms and outcome were strongly related to the severity of neurologic deficits found at admission. Neither a history of diabetes nor hyperglycemia when added to ...
