Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of patients with cerebrovascular disease have largely ignored the confounds associated with abnormal cerebral blood flow, vascular reactivity and neurovascular coupling. We studied BOLD fMRI activation and cerebrovascular reactivity in moyamoya disease. To characterize the impact of remote vascular demands ...

The anatomy of the intrabony course of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is very important for dentists, neurologist, radiologists and pathologists to aid in diagnosis, treatment, planning surgery, and the application of local anesthesia (Polland et al., 2001). IAN damage negatively affects the quality of facial sensibility and the patient’s ability to translate patterns of altered nerve activi...

Introduction Sedation is used almost universally in the care of Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The action and side-effects of intravenous drugs in the severely ill patient population of an ICU are difficult to control. The AnestheticConserving Device (AnaConDa) can be used to administer inhaled anesthetics using an ICU ventilator. Inhaled sedation is efficient and easily controllable; in low concen...

Abstract Aim To assess the management of facial lacerations in Emergency department at Morriston Hospital using NICE laceration guidance. Method We performed a retrospective audit on that presented to A&E between 5/7/20 - 23/7/20. Two reviewers independently assessed ED documentation from all patients with coded diagnosis laceration. The criteria included examination neurovascular status, c...

We have read with great interest the Advances in Stroke 2007 subsection in February’s issue of Stroke and congratulate Dr Fisher for nicely amalgamating articles addressing some of the most pressing advances and shortcomings in stroke management over the past year.1 Although advances in interventional approaches to stroke and neurovascular disease were nicely outlined,1,2 we noticed little emph...

The operative findings and outcomes of neurovascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia were compared between patients aged 75 years and older (elderly group, 17 patients) and patients aged under 75 years (nonelderly group, 115 patients). There were no statistically significant differences in the operative findings or outcomes between the two groups, except in the percentage of patients who...

BACKGROUND Neurovascular surgery has been practiced in Shiraz, the main referral center of the Southern Iran, for over 30 years; however, the trend has accelerated tremendously in recent years following subspecialization of neurovascular surgery in Shiraz, Department of Neurosurgery. Over 100 patients are operated each year, and nearly all are addressed during the first 72 hours after presentat...

Pediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus are generally associated with neurovascular complications due to the deformity and sharp nature of bone fragments. When treated inadequately, these injuries may result in catastrophic complications, such as Volkmann's contracture and amputation. To our knowledge, late onset brachial arterial thrombosis and total temporary peripheral neuropathy af...
