Letter by Griebe et al Regarding Article, “Jugular Veins in Transient Global Amnesia: Innocent Bystanders” To the Editor: The recent publication of Baracchini et al entitled “Jugular Veins in Transient Global Amnesia” in Stroke reports extraand transcranial highresolution venous echocolor Doppler sonography findings in patients who have had an episode of transient global amnesia (TGA). The main...

Abnormal extracranial venous drainage modality has been considered an etiology of transient global amnesia (TGA). Evidence suggests that the transmission of the intrathoracic/intraabdominal pressure during a Valsalva maneuver (VM) is mainly through the vertebral venous system, and patency of internal jugular vein (IJV) is essential for venous drainage and pressure releasing. We hypothesize that...

The total management of a group of 32 patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is reported. All but one had required creation of an atrial septal defect in infancy. Eighteen patients had no associated cardiac defects, and physiologic correction was performed between 8 months and 9X years of age. The only death in this group occurred 9 months after operation. Eight of nine patient...

The Arabidopsis TGA transcription factor (TF) PERIANTHIA (PAN) regulates the formation of the floral organ primordia as revealed by the pan mutant forming an abnormal pentamerous arrangement of the outer three floral whorls. The Arabidopsis TGA bZIP TF family comprises 10 members, of which PAN and TGA9/10 control flower developmental processes and TGA1/2/5/6 participate in stress-responses. For...

QUESTION Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterised by the sudden occurrence of amnesia while lacking other neurological symptoms. Complete remission occurs within 24 hours. The pathogenesis remains unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of TGA in a primary referral hospital in Uster, Switzerland and examine the accuracy of the diagnostic procedure and outcome....

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of an extraordinarily large reduction of anterograde and a somewhat milder reduction of retrograde episodic long-term memory. Additionally, executive functions are described as diminished. Although it is suggested that various factors, such as migraine, focal ischemia, venous flow abnormalities, and epilepti...

The field experiment was carried out during 2004–2006. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of insecticides (Actara 25 WG – 0.08 kg/ha, Regent 200 SC – 0.1 L/ha, Calypso 480 SC – three rates: 0.05; 0.075; 0.1 L/ha), used for controlling Colorado potato beetle, on total glycoalkaloid (TGA) content in potato leaves and tubers of three cultivars (Mors, Wiking, Żagiel). The insectici...

Introduction Several thrombin-generation tests are available, but few have been directly compared. Our primary aim was to investigate the correlation of two thrombin generation tests, thrombin generation assay-calibrated automated thrombogram (TGA-CAT) and INNOVANCE ETP, to factor VIII levels (FVIII:C) in a group of patients with hemophilia A. The secondary aim was to investigate inter-laborato...
