background: intracerebral  hemorrhage (ich) is the  most fatal subtype  of stroke.  despite  limited effective therapy, there  is no  accepted clinical grading  scale to  predict  in- hospital  mortality,  especially  in developing  nations.  the purpose  of this study was to assess the  predictors  of in- hospital mortality among a sample of iranian patients  with spontaneous ich for use at th...

twenty patients with intracranial hematoma (ich or ivh) were treated with direct infusion of urokinase through a catheter. reduction of hematoma volume was observed within a few days. twelve patients showed good or excellent outcome. no infection or rebleeding was observed.

ninety six pairs of adrenal glands from lori – bakhtiari sheep and goat, aged 6 month to 1 year and 1 – 1.5 year from borujen abattoir were collected. after collecting the glands and weighting them, some parameters such as: length, wide and thickness of left and right side by caliper device were measured. in histological studies, after tissue preparation and staining with h&e;, cortical zones a...

Objective: To find out the correlation between size of traumatic extradural hematoma (EDH), Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and outcome of the patients. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in the department of Neurosurgery, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, from January 2004 to January 2005. Materials and Methods: Total patient...

Figure 1 CT-scan showed right frontal extra-axial collections suggesting an acute extradural hematoma (white arrows) associated to chronic subdural hematoma (black arrows). However, craniotomy showed that the supposed chronic subdural hematoma was a typical subdural empyema. This image illustrates the possible association between epidural hematoma and subdural empyema in patients with craniofac...

introduction: traumatic brain injury is considered as the major cause of mortality and hospitalization of about ten million people across the globe. most of these patients are young and active people suffering disabilities. tranexamic acid (txa) therapy is commonly used to reduce blood loss and need for blood transfusions in surgical cases. this study aimed at investigating the effect of tranex...

BACKGROUND Intrauterine hematomas are a common pregnancy complication. The literature lacks studies about outcomes based on hematoma localization. Thus, we aimed to compare pregnancies complicated by an intraplacental hematoma to cases with a retroplacental hematoma and to a control group. METHODS In a retrospective case-control study, 32 women with an intraplacental hematoma, 199 women with ...

Objective(s): Nowadays, the electromagnetic field-emitting devices are used routinely in our lives. Controversial reports exist concerning the effects of mobile radiofrequency (RF) on different parts of the body, especially stress hormones. The main goal of the present work was to study the long-term effects of mobile RF900 MHz exposure with special focus on the adrenal gland pathophysiology an...

a 64-year-old male presented with neurofibromatosis 1 and cushing’s syndrome. clinically he was over weight, depressed with extensive skin bruising and hypertension. his 24 hours urinary metanephrines, urinary 5hiaa, gut peptides and chromgranin levels were normal. his renal function and renal mri scan was also normal. his cortisol failed to suppress on overnight dexamethsone suppression test. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between elevated blood pressure (BP) and hematoma enlargement in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been clarified. We investigated the association between maximum systolic BP (SBP) and hematoma enlargement, measuring SBP between a baseline and a second CT scan in patients with hypertensive ICH. METHODS We assessed 76 consecutive patients with ...
