Pregnancy increases the risk of cerebrovascular accidents to approximately 13 times the expected rate. Most of the cerebrovascular accidents are due to cerebral venous thrombosis. Headache, seizures and focal neurological deficits are some of the symptoms of cerebral venous thrombosis. Headache can also be due to postural puncture, pre eclampsia and eclampsia in the postpartum period. Neuroima...

introduction: determining the overlap rates is a quantitative method to compare database contents. in this survey, traditional overlap, relative overlap and synthetic degrees of freedom between pubmed as a free database and scopus as a subscription-based one in the cardiovascular disease field have been determined. methods: this descriptive applied research was done during january to june 2009....

UNLABELLED Cerebrovascular accidents are commonly due to occlusive or haemorrhagic lesions. The present prospective study was planned to find out role of antithrombin in possible etiopathological process, which might predispose an individual for stroke. METHOD Biological activity of antithrombin III was done by the method as described by Innerfield et al (1976). Immunological estimation of an...

E LECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC changes without dem-lonstrable cardiac eause have beeni found in soimie patients with cerebrovascular accidents.1', These hallges have usually affeeted the T wave, which is flatteneed aucd oftenl inverted, not infrequently of a typically coroniary shape. Large. positive T waves have also beetn described. The T-wave alterations are muost clearly deinioiistrable in leads I, ...

Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid and arterial blood acid-base state were assessed in 19 patients within 24 hours of an acute cerebrovascular accident. Those with haemorrhage into the C.S.F. showed a lower C.S.F. pH and higher C.S.F. lactate than those without haemorrhage but the Pco(2), was similar in the two groups, suggesting that this greater C.S.F. acidity was not responsible for a greater degree...

This report describes two cases that developed moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) without evidence of haemoconcentration. Both patients developed serious cerebrovascular thrombosis resulting in hemiparesis, and recovered after treatment with anticoagulants. This report emphasizes that other factors may contribute to vascular thrombosis, and illustrates that cerebrovascular accide...

Introduction: Epileptic seizures are one of the most emerging neurologic disorders worldwide. A number of etiologic factors are responsible for this. The major risk factors are cerebrovascular accidents and strokes followed by infections and tuberculosis. The goal of this study is to assess the prevalence of different etiologic agents in causation of epilepsy. Material and methods: The present ...
