The study enrolled more than 5,000 people with underlying stroke risk factors, relatively minor strokes, or major TIAs (but not people with quickly passing dizziness or brief visual or sensory events).
We enrolled patients with different stroke entities (ischaemic stroke, ICH and SAH), but neither during CI nor during NPC brain cooling correlated with the underlying stroke type.
The BP increase we observed during CI seems to be directly linked to the administered volume of fluid and also did not correlate with the underlying stroke type.
In both groups, the level of sedation (RASS −5) remained unchanged during the one-hour study period, and the changes of neurovital parameters did not correlate with the underlying stroke type and the sedation regimen.
A third explanation is that hFABP is elevated in other conditions, such as heart failure [ 31], sepsis [ 32], pulmonary embolism [ 33], and metabolic syndrome [ 34], which may be an underlying substrate for poor stroke outcome.
Evidence suggests that patients with moderate COPD are already at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, thereby suggesting an underlying vascular pathology.
Images of bold strokes may disguise an underlying anxiety, but there's also a genuine excitement and a sense of discovery.
Normobaric hyperoxia is touted as a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with traumatic brain injury or stroke [ 7], with an underlying rationale of increased brain O2 delivery [ 8] and protection of the ischemic penumbra through inducing redistribution of blood from normal to ischemic areas [ 9].
The observation that MetS may be an underlying entity for the formation of intracranial stroke multiplicity with a possible gender bias is new information.
Much like a sketch, it provides an underlying geometry a landscape of shapes that guides the strokes of his brush.
