Propofol infusion syndrome with arrhythmia, myocardial fat accumulation and cardiac failure.

13 Oct 2009 Propofol is a potent and widely used central-acting sedative drug. It has been implicated in the development of a usually fatal syndrome characterized by metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and Brugada-like cardiac rhythm ... Read more...

Historical perspective: neurological advances from studies of war injuries and illnesses.

29 Sep 2009 Early in the 20th century during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I (WWI), some of the most important, lasting contributions to clinical neurology were descriptive clinical studies, especially those concerning war-related peripheral nerve ... Read more...

Baseline characteristics and statistical power in randomized controlled trials: selection, prognostic targeting, or covariate adjustment?

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Heterogeneity of patients is a common problem in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in various fields of clinical research. We aimed to investigate the potential benefits of different approaches for dealing with heterogeneity in a case ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Injuries'

Definition: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
