Gray matter changes related to chronic posttraumatic headache.

20 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although up to 15% of patients with whiplash injury develop chronic headache, the basis and mechanisms of this posttraumatic headache are not well understood. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with posttraumatic headache following whiplash ... Read more...

The proinflammatory environment in potential heart and lung donors: prevalence and impact of donor management and hormonal therapy.

25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Brain stem death can elicit a potentially manipulable cardiotoxic proinflammatory cytokine response. We investigated the prevalence of this response, the impact of donor management with tri-iodothyronine (T3) and methylprednisolone (MP) ... Read more...

Anterior spinal artery as a collateral channel in patients with acute bilateral vertebral artery occlusions. Two case reports.

30 Jul 2009 Retrograde flow through the anterior spinal artery (ASA) from the cervical vertebral artery (VA) to the intracranial distal VA due to disrupted perfusion caused by bilateral VA occlusion is rare. We report two cases of hemodynamic vertebrobasilar ... Read more...
