A cerebrovascular accident, or stroke, is caused by a lack of oxygenated blood flow to the brain. It can be ischemic, due to a blockage, or hemorrhagic, due to a ruptured blood vessel. Symptoms depend on the affected brain area and can include weakness, sensory changes, speech problems, and visual issues. Stroke severity is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on symptoms and exam findings. Risk factors include hypertension, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and lifestyle factors like smoking and diet. Prevention focuses on controlling modifiable risks while treatment involves supportive care, thrombolysis if administered early, and long-term secondary prevention with antiplatelets or anticoagul
Status epilepticus is defined as continuous seizure activity lasting longer than 5 minutes or recurrent seizures without regaining consciousness between seizures for greater than 30 minutes. It requires immediate treatment to prevent neurological damage. Initial treatment involves airway management, IV access, glucose/thiamine administration, and first line anti-seizure medications like lorazepam, midazolam, or diazepam. Second and third line agents are used if seizures continue. Continuous EEG monitoring is important for detecting both overt and subtle seizures. Prompt treatment is crucial as delays can reduce effectiveness.

Guidelines for management of acute strokesankalpgmc8
This document provides an overview of stroke types, pathophysiology, investigations, and management guidelines. It discusses the three main types of stroke: ischemic, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. For ischemic stroke, it describes the ischemic core and penumbra. It outlines the emergency evaluation of acute ischemic stroke including vital signs, blood tests, imaging, and scales like the NIH Stroke Scale. Management strategies discussed include thrombolysis, antiplatelet/anticoagulation drugs, neuroprotective agents, and surgical interventions. Complications like cerebral edema and their management are also summarized.
Cerebrovascular diseases are the third leading cause of death and a primary cause of disability. 30% of stroke patients die within the first month, and 45-48% die by the end of the year. Strokes can be classified as acute (transient or permanent) or chronic. Transient ischemic attacks are temporary episodes caused by temporary blockages, while permanent strokes include cerebral infarction (85%) and hemorrhages. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and analysis of risk factors. Treatment depends on the type of stroke but generally focuses on stabilization, blood pressure control, and prevention of complications.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

21. Treatment of Stroke
• AS ALWAYS – ABC’s FIRST
• What’s the Serum Glucose??
– Consider Thiamine 100mg IV, D 50 bolus if hypoglycemic.
– Treat Hyperglycemia if Serum Glucose > 300mg/dl
• Protect the “Penumbra”
– Keep SBP >90mm Hg
– Goal keep CPP > 60mm Hg (CPP=MAP-ICP)
– Treat Fever ( Mild Hypothermia beneficial)
• Acetaminophen 650mg po or pr, cooling blanket
– Oxygenate (Keep Sao2 >95%)
– Elevate head of bed 30 deg. (Clear c-spine)
• Frequent repeat Neuro checks!! Reassess GCS!
22. Treatment of Stroke
• What type of stroke is Present??
– Hemorrhagic vs Ischemic
• Any signs of shift herniation?
• Neurosurgery evaluation or transfer necessary?
• Other management adjuncts:
• Ischemic strokes
– ASA 81-325mg
– Patients with Systolic BP >220 , Diastolic>120 need BP control with
Nitroprusside or Labetolol.
– DO NOT OVERTREAT BP or risk extending the infarct.
– Heparin not shown to be of benefit in recent studies, however, still
frequently used.
• Consult Neurologist before use
• If used, No bolus, just infusion.
• Risk of hemorrhagic transformation.
23. Treatment of Strokes
• Strokes with Edema, Mass Effect or Shift
– Load with Phosphenytoin 1000mg for seizure prophylaxis
– Acute seizure prophylaxis still of benefit.
– Mannitol, Decadron??
• Recently shown to be of NO benefit, some Neurosurgeons still advocate,
so consult first.
– Hyperventilation??
• NOT beneficial and perhaps harmful, don’t do it!
• Thrombolytics???
– Ischemic strokes ONLY with large deficit NOT improving.
– Time from symptom onset <3 hours
– No ABSOLUTE Contraindications!!
– Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
– Benefit Questionable

25. Emergency Treatment of
Aneurysmal SAH
• Notify neurosurgery and neurointerventional team
immediately
• Prevent rebleeding
− Risk = 5-15% in 1st 24h; mortality 70-80%
− Treat hypertension: Keep SBP 110-150 mmHg
• IV Antihypertensives
– Prns: labetalol, hydralazine
– Nicradipine gtt
• Judicious analgesia
– Tylenol Ultram very low-dose IV fentanyl or
hydromorphone
− Antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid) if securing is expected
to be delayed > 6h after arrival
26. Emergency Treatment of
Aneurysmal SAH
• Secure aneurysm
− Goal: ASAP; within 18h of presentation
− Conventional angiogram from ED
• Operative planning
• Endovascular coils if possible
− Otherwise, surgical clipping
27. STATUS EPILEPTIKUS
• Status epilepticus
− Any single seizure lasting > 5min
− ≥ 2 seizures without clearing of mental status between
them
29. Emergency Treatment of
Generalized Convulsive Status
Epilepticus
• Abort the seizure
− Lorazepam 4-6mg IV push
− diazepam 0,2 mg/kg (10-20 mg iv)
− Repeat 5 min later if seizure continues or
returns
• Prevent future seizures
− Phenytoin load: 20mg/kg IV infusion
− DO NOT just give 1g only enough for a
small, 50kg person
− Alternatives:
• IV valproic acid 20-30mg/kg
• IV levetiracetam 25-30mg/kg

34. Infectious Neurologic
Emergencies
• Meningitis: inflammation of the meninges
• History:
– Acute Bacterial Meningitis:
• Rapid onset of symptoms <24 hours
– Fever, Headache, Photophobia
– Stiff neck, Confusion
• Etiology By Age:
– 0-4 weeks: E. Coli, Group B Strep, Listeria
– 4-12 weeks: neotatal pathogens, S. pneumo, N.
meningitides, H. flu
– 3mos – 18 years: S.pneumo, N. menin.,H. flu
– >50/ alcholics: S. pneumo, Listeria, N. menin., Gram(-) bacilli
35. Meningitis
• Lymphocytic Meningitis (Aseptic/Viral)
– Gradual onset of symptoms as previously listed
over 1-7 days.
– Etiology:
• Viral
• Atypical Meningitis
– History (medical/social/environmental) crucial
– Insidious onset of symptoms over 1-2 weeks
– Etiology:
• TB(#1)
• Coccidiomycosis, crytococcus
36. Meningitis
• Physical Exam Pearls
– Infants and the elderly lack the usual signs and
symptoms, only clue may be AMS.
– Look for papilledema, focal neurologic signs,
ophthalmoplegia and rashes
– As always full exam
• Checking for above
• Brudzinski’s sign
• Kernigs sign
– KEY POINT: If you suspect meningococcemia do
NOT delay antibiotic therapy, MUST start within 20
minutes of arrival!!!!!
37. Meningitis
• Emergent CT Prior to LP
– Those with profoundly depressed MS
– Seizure
– Head Injury
– Focal Neurologic signs
– Immunocompromised with CD4 count <500
• DO NOT DELAY ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY!!
38. Meningitis
• Lumbar Puncture Results

Cell type Monos >50% PMN’s Monos
Gram Stain Neg Pos Neg
39. Meningitis Management
• Antibiotics By Age Group
– Neonates(<1month) = Ampicillin + Gent. or
Cefotaxime + Gent
- Infants (1-3mos) = Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone
+ Ampicillin
- Children (3mos-18yrs) = Ceftriaxone
- Adults (18yr-up) = Ceftriaxone + Vancomycin
- Elderly/Immunocomp = Ceftriaxone +Ampicillin +
Vancomycin
40. Meningitis Management
• Steroids
– In children, dexamethasone has been shown to be
of benefit in reducing sensiorneural hearing loss,
when given before the first dose of antibiotic.
– Indications:
• Children> 6 weeks with meningitis due to H. flu or S.
pneumo.
• Adults with positive CSF gram stain
– Dose: 0.15mg/kg IV
41. Encephalitis
• Always think of in the young/elderly or
immunocompromised with FEVER + AMS
• Common Etiologies:
• Viral
– West Nile
– Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
– Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)
– Arboviruses
• Eastern Equine viruses

– Zoster
45. Encephalitis
• Management:
– Emergent CT : As indicated for meningitis
– ABC’s with supportive care.
– Lumbar puncture:
• Send for ELISA and PCR
