Prevention of recurrent stroke in atrial fibrillation Jacek Staszewski
Prevention of recurrent stroke in atrial fibrillation. Comaprison of NOAC vs VKA. Riks of hemorrhagic stroke. When anticoagulation should be initiated following acute stroke.
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease
1) Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a common cause of stroke. While medical treatments like antithrombotics and statins are recommended, endovascular interventions may be considered for recurrent strokes.
2) Early studies of angioplasty and stenting for ICAD showed high complication rates. The SAMMPRIS trial found stenting plus medical therapy was worse than medical therapy alone. Subsequent studies using strict criteria saw lower complication rates.
3) Current recommendations are for medical management as first-line for ICAD. Endovascular treatments like submaximal angioplasty may be considered for recurrent strokes despite medical therapy, based on the underlying stroke mechanism

Electrolyte disorders in head injury
This document discusses electrolyte disorders that can occur following a traumatic brain injury. A 13-year-old boy suffered a fall from a tree resulting in multiple injuries including a traumatic brain injury. Serial lab tests showed fluctuations in the patient's sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels. The document then discusses various electrolyte imbalances that can occur after head injuries like hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and diabetes insipidus. It covers the causes, effects, diagnosis, and management of these conditions. Maintaining normal electrolyte levels is important to prevent secondary brain injuries in patients with head trauma.
Mechanical thrombectomy with stent retriever
Vipul Gupta discusses balloon assisted coiling in ruptured cerebral aneurysms and mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers. He summarizes several key randomized controlled trials that demonstrated the benefits of endovascular therapy using stent retrievers over standard medical therapy alone for acute ischemic stroke. The trials showed significant improvements in revascularization, clinical outcomes, and mortality. The 2015 AHA/ASA guidelines recommend endovascular therapy with stent retrievers for select patients within 6 hours of stroke onset based on the evidence from these trials. The document also reviews techniques for mechanical thrombectomy and strategies to optimize outcomes.

This document discusses hyponatremia in neurological patients, specifically comparing cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSW) and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). It notes that hyponatremia is common in acute neurological patients and can worsen outcomes. The key difference between CSW and SIADH is volume status, which is difficult to assess, though treatment differs with fluid restriction for SIADH and saline replacement for CSW. Correct diagnosis and management of hyponatremia in these patients is important.

Neurointerventional Treatment of Acute Stroke in 2015 at Abbott Northwestern ...
This document summarizes the neurointerventional treatment of acute stroke using mechanical thrombectomy. It discusses how earlier trials in 2013 that compared IV t-PA to intra-arterial therapy found no difference in outcomes due to outdated technology, inclusion of non-large vessel occlusions, and low recanalization rates. The MR CLEAN trial in 2015 showed improved outcomes with mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions when using modern stent retrievers in patients treated within 6 hours. Several other 2015 trials also demonstrated the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy. As a result, IV t-PA plus endovascular treatment is now standard of care for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusions.
Critical thinking scenario Respiratory Therapy Students
The document provides guidance for respiratory therapists on the skills needed for successful patient transport. It advises therapists to (1) prioritize and plan for expected and unexpected issues, (2) anticipate problems and solutions, and (3) communicate effectively with the healthcare team. When transporting an unstable patient for a CT scan, the therapist should gather clinical information from the patient assessment and chart, interpret the data to develop a transport plan, and collect the necessary equipment while prioritizing the patient's needs.
Central Sensitization In Chronic Pain
Central sensitization refers to increased responsiveness of the central nervous system to sensory input. It involves plastic changes in the brain and spinal cord due to peripheral input and neuronal remodeling. This includes long term potentiation and long term depression at synapses, neuroanatomic spreading, and changes in neurochemistry, immunology, and sensory processing in the brain and spinal cord. Central sensitization can amplify pain signals and lead to chronic pain conditions.

Neurosurgery audit 2016
This document provides an audit summary of the Neurosurgery Department from 2013-2016. Key points include:
- Clinical workload including OPD visits, admissions, surgeries and beds remained steady from 2013-2016. Staffing included junior residents, senior residents and consultants.
- Mortality rates from head and spinal injuries generally decreased from 2013-2016, especially for severe head injuries.
- Average hospital stay durations for head and spinal injury patients varied depending on injury severity but were typically longest for severe injuries.
- Common surgeries included craniotomies, ventriculoperitoneal/ventriculoatrial shunts, cranioplasties and tracheostomies.
Pain Patophysiology - Central Sensitization
Central sensitization is a reversible process that results in neuronal sensitization and a reduction in inhibitory interneuron activity in the dorsal horn. Intense stimulation of C fibers can promote hyperexcitability of wide-dynamic-range neurons through the release of excitatory amino acids, tachykinins like substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide. These substances increase cation fluxes and modulate receptor and transmitter gene transcription in dorsal horn neurons. Synaptic transmission augmentation at NMDA receptors is a key mechanism. Neurotensin is a neuropeptide distributed in descending pain pathways that regulates nociception and has analgesic actions through neurotensin receptors.
Stroke Community Presentation Guide[1]
The document discusses stroke, providing information about causes, symptoms, treatments, recovery, and prevention. It emphasizes that stroke is a medical emergency and calls for immediately dialing 911 at the first sign of symptoms. The "3 R's of Stroke" are to recognize symptoms, reduce risk factors, and respond quickly to get emergency treatment, as every minute matters in stroke treatment. Up to 80% of strokes are preventable through controlling risk factors like high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, smoking, cholesterol, and diabetes.

Hypertensive Crisis
This document discusses hypertensive crises, including definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, and management. It defines hypertensive emergencies as elevated blood pressure with acute end-organ damage, while hypertensive urgencies involve impending end-organ damage. The typical patient presenting with crisis is middle-aged, noncompliant with medications, and may use substances. Treatment of emergencies requires immediate blood pressure reduction in the ICU to prevent further damage, while urgencies can be treated gradually as uncontrolled hypertension. Nitroprusside is very effective but has limitations like toxicity risks with prolonged use.
Antiplatelets in stroke recent scenario
- Aspirin is recommended within 24-48 hours for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and after 24 hours if IV thrombolysis is administered.
- For minor strokes, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel for 21 days begun within 24 hours is recommended, followed by clopidogrel alone for 90 days.
- The efficacy of IV antiplatelet drugs like tirofiban and eptifibatide for AIS is not well established and requires further research.
Pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure > 25 mmHg. It is classified into 5 groups, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), PH due to left heart disease, PH due to lung diseases/hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic PH, and PH with unclear mechanisms. Clinical symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, syncope, edema, and cough. Diagnostic tests involve echocardiogram, chest X-ray, ECG, and right heart catheterization. Management includes supportive therapies, calcium channel blockers, endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, prostacyclins, and transplantation.

Clinoidal meningioma
This document discusses cavernous sinus meningiomas, including their anatomy, types, clinical presentation, investigations, pre-operative evaluation and preparation, surgical approach, complications, and outcomes. It notes that cavernous sinus meningiomas can be classified into three types based on their location and attachment to the internal carotid artery. Pre-operative workup involves imaging studies like CT and MRI to determine the size and extent of the tumor. The surgical goal is a radical excision of the tumor along with a 1cm margin of dura and any hyperostotic bone, which is typically done using a pterional craniotomy approach. Post-operative care focuses on monitoring for complications like edema, seizures, and infections
Ventral hernia Update and Journal Club.pptx
This study evaluated the impact of surgical technique and mesh type for complicated ventral hernia repair. 120 patients underwent repair with either an overlay or sublay technique using one of two biological mesh types. The primary outcome of hernia recurrence at 1 year was not significantly different between the four treatment groups. However, the overlay technique was associated with a lower surgical site infection rate and better physical functioning scores compared to the sublay technique. While mesh type did not significantly impact outcomes, the lowest infection rate was seen in patients receiving the overlay technique with one specific biological mesh. Long-term studies are still needed to further understand differences in outcomes between ventral hernia repair techniques and mesh options.
Case Of Acute Intestinal Obstruction (1).pptx
This case document describes a 78-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation and shortness of breath. Imaging revealed a perforated cecal volvulus with free gas and ascites. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy with ileostomy and colostomy. Post-operatively, the patient developed atrial fibrillation and an infected ascitic fluid collection, both of which were treated. Several months later, the patient underwent ileostomy reversal surgery. Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of bowel obstruction that can be difficult to diagnose. Surgical intervention is usually required to detorse and resect the involved bowel segment.
A brief review of distal radius fractures
This document provides an overview of distal radius fractures, including:
- Classifications including Frykman, Fernandez, Melone, AO which describe fracture type, severity and treatment.
- Common fracture types like Colles, Smith's and Barton's are described.
- Radiographic parameters to assess fracture reduction are outlined.
- Management approaches including closed reduction and casting, percutaneous pinning, external fixation and open reduction internal fixation are discussed. Complications of different treatment methods are also reviewed.
A brief review of tetanus prophylaxis haris bela
This document provides a review of tetanus prophylaxis and management. It describes tetanus as a life-threatening disease caused by Clostridium tetani spores entering the body through wounds. Proper wound care and vaccination are essential to prevention. For wounds, tetanus toxoid and possibly tetanus immune globulin are recommended depending on vaccination history. Active immunization with tetanus toxoid boosters every 10 years provides long-term protection. For treatment, antitoxin is given along with wound care, sedation, and supportive measures like ventilation to neutralize the toxin and prevent complications. Timely prophylaxis and management can prevent mortality from this serious infection.
