From the end of 1994 to the beginning of 1995, 49 patients with hemorrhagic symptoms were hospitalized in the Makokou General Hospital in northeastern Gabon. Yellow fever (YF) virus was first diagnosed in serum by use of polymerase chain reaction followed by blotting, and a vaccination campaign was immediately instituted. The epidemic, known as the fall 1994 epidemic, ended 6 weeks later. Howev...

the placental adhesive disorders such as placenta accreta and placenta percreta are the rare causes of serious obstetric hemorrhages. they are associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. placenta percreta is usually diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy as a massive postpartum hemorrhage when an attempt to remove the placenta reveals lack of a cleavage plane. here we report a...

The surviving members of 27 households in which someone had been infected with Ebola virus were interviewed in order to define the modes of transmission of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF). Of 173 household contacts of the primary cases, 28 (16%) developed EHF. All secondary cases had direct physical contact with the ill person (rate ratio [RR], undefined; P < .001), and among those with direct co...

Objective: To evaluate low-molecular-weight (LMW) DNA as possible prognostic biomarker in acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Methods:  LMW DNA samples were isolated from plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by phenol deproteinization, analyzed by gradient polyacrylamide electrophoresis and quantified by spectrophotometry. Results: Two common types of the stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic, differ...

Stroke is the most common cause of disability and death in world. Cardiovascular disease rates increase with age (10.9 % for people aged 20–30 years 85.3 older than 80 years). Coronary heart diseases leading deaths attributable to cardiovascular United States, followed by stroke, high BP, HF, arteries, other diseases. The report on global burden neurological disorders has shown that hemorrhagic...

Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. One of the factors that affect the occurrence of stroke can be attributed to changes in the levels of trace elements. Accumulating evidence has been shown that magnesium, as an important element, is a new predictor of stroke. We aimed to determine the levels of Mg in ischemic stroke patients in comparison with those having th...

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common problem worldwide that most of traumatic patients suffer from mental and cognitive disorders. The most common trait of this disorder, defined by computed tomography (CT) scan is small hemorrhagic lesions in cerebral white matter of the patient. These hemorrhagic lesions seem to be an effective factor for occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptom...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widely distributed, tick-borne viral disease. Humans are the only species known to develop illness after CCHF virus (CCHFV) infection, characterized by a nonspecific febrile illness that can progress to severe, often fatal, hemorrhagic disease. A variety of animals may serve as asymptomatic reservoirs of CCHFV in an endemic cycle of transmission. Sero...
