BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The value of multimodal CT to assist thrombolysis has received little attention in stroke. METHODS We assessed prospectively the impact derived from the routine application of CT perfusion and CTA in patients with acute stroke treated consecutively with alteplase. The safety and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy were compared in 106 patients assisted with CT/CTA/CT perfu...

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon can be encountered in the perinatal period. No consensus exists regarding prenatal management. We report one prenatal case leading to therapeutic abortion and one neonatal case, successfully treated by a multimodal therapy. Prenatal counseling should include the possibility of neonatal multimodal treatment that can lead to favorable outcomes.

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal disorders of the elbow, forearm, wrist and hand are associated with pain, functional impairment and decreased productivity in the general population. Combining several interventions in a multimodal program of care is reflective of current clinical practice; however there is limited evidence to support its effectiveness. The purpose of our review was to investigate the...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights the current trends of efficient and safe perioperative pediatric pain therapy in the context of a multimodal pain therapy concept. RECENT FINDINGS A multimodal pain therapy concept should be easy to apply and safe regarding the occurrence of side-effects. The administration of nonopioid analgesics should be obligatory, regional anesthesia techniques - ...

Multimodal analgesia captures the effectiveness of individual agents in optimal dosages that maximize efficacy and attempts to minimize side effects from one analgesic (mainly opioids). This important concept employs the theory that agents with different mechanisms of analgesia that may have synergistic effects in preventing or treating acute pain when used in combination. These regimens must b...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of multimodal therapy including supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with those of standard multimodal therapy (TRAD) concerning key variables of physical fitness (peak power and oxygen uptake), motor skills, social behavior, and quality of life in boys with ADHD. METHOD A single-center, two-arm randomized, controlled design was used, with 28 boy...

Surgery is the only curative therapy for gastric cancer but most operable gastric cancer presents in a locally advanced stage characterized by tumor infiltration of the serosa or the presence of regional lymph node metastases. Surgery alone is no longer the standard treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer as the prognosis is markedly improved by perioperative chemotherapy. The decisive fa...
