Previously identified QTL regions on BTA1 and BTA5 were investigated to validate the QTL regions and to identify candidate genes for growth and carcass traits in commercial cattle populations from the USA and Korea. Initially, a total of 8 polymorphic microsatellite (MS) markers in the BTA1 and 5 QTL regions were used for Chi-square tests to compare the frequencies of individual alleles between...

Abstract Background The European Stroke Organisation published guidelines on the management of Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) in 2021. Specialist review suspected TIA is recommended within 24-hours symptom onset a clinic. They suggest using CT or MR angiogram for additional confirmation large artery stenosis >50%. advise against use prediction tools alone e.g. ABCD2 score when identify...

ischemic or hemorrhagic cause. It is now clear that transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke are highly predictive of a subsequent disabling ischemic stroke within hours or days. The critical clinical problems for physicians and nurse practitioners who evaluate these patients are to identify that the patient has had a stroke or transient ischemic attack and to stratify risk to determ...

Neurology® 2011;77:1 Clinicians who care for patients with TIA face two big problems. First, we are diagnostically deprived. Even among experts in cerebrovascular disease, agreement on the clinical diagnosis of TIA is remarkably poor.1 The cardiologist has EKG and troponin available to diagnose patients with acute chest pain at the bedside. As most patients with TIA present with normal neurolog...

BACKGROUND Literature on prognosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) in Chinese is scarce. The short-term prognosis of TIA and the predictive value of the ABCD(2) score in Hong Kong Chinese patients attending the emergency department (ED) were studied to provide reference for TIA patient management in our ED. METHODS A cohort of TIA patients admitted through the ED to 13 acute public hospita...
