Cerebral infarction in POEMS syndrome: incidence, risk factors, and imaging characteristics.

18 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk factors and incidence of cerebral infarction associated with POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome. METHODS: The Mayo Clinic dysproteinemia database ... Read more...

Systemic lupus erythematosus and the risk of cardiovascular disease: results from the nurses' health study.

13 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, prospective population-based data addressing this association have been lacking. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort ... Read more...

Thrombolysis targeting MRI defined tissue at risk in minor stroke.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is usually not recommended in patients with minor stroke. Clinical and imaging outcome were studied after IV-tPA treatment based on MRI criteria in patients with minor ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Stroke'

Definition: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810)
