In order to assess the relationship of electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in acute cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) to the locations of the cerebral lesions, ECG records and brain computerized tomographic (CT) scans which were taken within 48 hours of CVA onset were examined in 39 patients without heart disease and/or treatment with cardiovascular drugs. The ECG was normal in 25% (3/12) of basal...

OBJECTIVES Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) after CABG are deleterious complications whose prevention remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants for CVA after CABG. METHODS Nine thousand nine hundred and sixteen patients underwent CABG at our institution from January 1992 to June 2002. Data were prospectively collected and univariate/multivariate analyses co...

BACKGROUND We aim to assess serum sodium and potassium levels in patients with different types of cerebro-vascular accidents (CVA) in comparison to control group. METHODS A comparative cross-sectional study conducted on patients admitted to the emergency department from January to August 2012. Control group consisted of patients admitted to emergency department due to common cold, urinary tra...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and prognosis of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and its subtypes among Iranian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS In a cross-sectional study, medical records of 575 SLE patients were reviewed. The patients developing CVA in their course of disease were extracted. In these patients, data about demogr...

Wrong way risk can be incorporated in Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) calculations in a reduced form model. Hull and White [16] introduced a CVA model that captures wrong way risk by expressing the stochastic intensity of a counterparty’s default time in terms of the financial institution’s credit exposure to the counterparty. We consider a class of reduced form CVA models that includes the formu...

Pheromones form an essential chemical language of intraspecific communication in many animals. How olfactory systems recognize pheromonal signals with both sensitivity and specificity is not well understood. An important in vivo paradigm for this process is the detection mechanism of the sex pheromone (Z)-11-octadecenyl acetate (cis-vaccenyl acetate [cVA]) in Drosophila melanogaster. cVA-evoked...

A male-specific component, 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) works as an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone in Drosophila melanogaster. The presence of cVA on a male suppresses the courtship motivation of other males and contributes to suppression of male-male homosexual courtship, while the absence of cVA on a female stimulates the sexual motivation of nearby males and enhances the male-female interaction...

UNLABELLED Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a serious complication of untreated arterial hypertension. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to compare the cost of secondary prevention and treatment of CVA caused by untreated arterial hypertension. METHODS Cost-effectiveness analysis of diagnosis and therapy of arterial hypertension in comparison with CVA treatment. RESULTS The cost of s...
