Introduction/Background: Occurrence of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (MI) is an uncommon but recognized clinical problem [1]. Although, intracranial hemorrhage is the primary neurological complication noted after thrombolytic therapy [2, 3], ischemic CVA is an infrequent and devastating complication that is reported to occur after 48...

This study examined the agreement between fingertip-capillary and antecubital-venous measures of appetite-related peptides. Simultaneous fingertip-capillary and antecubital-venous blood samples were collected from 19 participants. The samples were obtained at baseline, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min following breakfast for the determination of plasma GLP17-36, glucagon, insulin and leptin. Between-day...

The efficacy of BRL28500, a formulation of ticarcillin (TIPC, 15 parts) and clavulanic acid (CVA, 1 part), against TIPC-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was studied both in vitro and in vivo. The MICs of BRL28500 against these beta-lactamase producing strains were lower than those of TIPC or CVA alone against such strains. When BRL28500 was ...

In order to incorporate the credit value adjustment (CVA) in derivative contracts, we propose a set of numerical methods to solve a nonlinear partial differential equation [2] modelling the CVA. Additionally to adequate boundary conditions proposals, characteristics methods, fixed point techniques and finite elements methods are designed and implemented. A numerical test illustrates the behavio...

We sought to compare the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), ischemic heart event (IHE), congestive heart failure (CHF), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), and all-cause mortality among 470,386 individuals with resistant and nonresistant hypertension (non-RH). Resistant hypertension (60,327 individuals) was subcategorized into two groups: 23,104 patients with cRH (controlled on four or more me...

There are few studies about the development of a child after a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), and they usually describe problems such as diminishing in intellectual capacities, difficulties in linguistic and visual-motor skills, as well as in spatial organization and integration. In this study, there were 28 children participating, being 14 placed in the experimental group (EG) after clinical ...

Activity was recorded from postganglionic sympathetic neurons (PSNs) innervating either the caudal ventral artery (CVA) or a lateral vein (LV) of the tail circulation of anesthetized rats. The study sought to determine whether sympathetic activity directed at the CVA and LV was influenced by cardiovascular mechanoreceptor afferents and whether this effect was differential. Cardiac rhythmicity w...

The relevance of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) and dementia in general emphasizes the importance of developing novel targeting approaches for detecting and treating cerebrovascular amyloid (CVA) deposits. We developed a nanoparticle-based technology that uses a monoclonal antibody against fibrillar human amyloid-β42 that is surface coated onto a...
