patients with transient ischemic attack with abcd2 4 can have similar 90 day stroke risk as patients with transient ischemic attack with abcd2 4
Stroke, 2012Co-Authors: Pierre Amarenco, Julien Labreuche, Philippa C LavalleeAbstract:Background and Purpose—It is unclear whether patients with transient ischemic attack with an ABCD2 score <4 can be safely evaluated within the following week as recommended by some national guidelines rather than in Emergency. Methods—A total of 1679 patients in the SOS-TIA prospective cohort had a definite or possible transient ischemic attack and had complete information on ABCD2 score components. They were evaluated and treated as soon as possible in a transient ischemic attack clinic with round-the-clock access, 87% of them within 24 hours of the first call to medical attention. Criteria for Emergency Treatment were internal carotid or intracranial artery stenosis ≥50% or major cardiac source of embolism. Results—Primary end point was stroke at 90 days. The 90-day stroke rate (number of events/number of patients) was 3.4% (24/701) in patients with ABCD2 score ≥4, 3.9% (7/180) in patients with ABCD2 score <4 and criteria for Emergency Treatment, and 0.4% (3/798) in patients with ABCD2 score <4 and no c...

anxiety and depression are related to the outcome of Emergency Treatment in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease
Chest, 2002Co-Authors: Inger Dahlen, Christer JansonAbstract:Study objectives To investigate whether psychological factors predict outcome after Emergency Treatment for obstructive pulmonary disease. Setting Emergency department at a university hospital. Patients Forty-three patients presenting with exacerbation of asthma or COPD. Intervention The patients received Emergency Treatment and were followed up for 4 weeks. Measurement Spirometry, blood sampling, pulse oximetry, breathing rate, pulse rate, and dyspnea score was measured before and during Emergency Treatment. The psychological status was assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale questionnaire at the end of the follow-up period. Results Anxiety and/or depression was found in 17 patients (40%). Of these patients, nine patients (53%) were admitted to hospital or had a relapse within 1 month, compared with five patients (19%) in the group without anxiety and/or depression (p Conclusion Our study indicates that anxiety and depression are related to the outcome of Emergency Treatment in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease. Further studies should be conducted evaluating the effect of Treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with recurrent exacerbations of asthma and COPD.

direct costs of care in a randomized controlled trial of endoscopic sclerotherapy versus Emergency portacaval shunt for bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhosis part 4
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2011Co-Authors: Marshall J Orloff, Jon I Isenberg, Henry O Wheeler, Kevin S Haynes, Horacio Jinichbrook, Roderick Rapier, Florin Vaida, Robert J HyeAbstract:Background Emergency Treatment of bleeding esophageal varices (BEV) in cirrhotic patients is of prime importance because of the high mortality rate surrounding the episode of acute bleeding. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of randomized controlled trials of Emergency surgical therapy and no reports of the costs of any of the widely used forms of Emergency Treatment. The important issue of direct costs of care was examined in a randomized controlled trial that compared endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) to Emergency portacaval shunt (EPCS).

massive epistaxis related to petrous carotid artery pseudoaneurysm after radiation therapy Emergency Treatment with covered stent in two cases
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2003Co-Authors: Kai Ming Auyeung, Wai Man Lui, Lawrence C K Chow, Fu Luk ChanAbstract:Two patients had acute left carotid rupture from radiation therapy-induced pseudoaneurysms, resulting in hemodynamic collapse. Because the patients were semicomatose and in shock, an immediate salvage procedure was needed. Location of the pseudoaneurysm at the skull base made surgical Treatment less possible. Endovascular therapy was the Treatment of choice. Preserving patency of the carotid artery was a desirable option. The successful use of a covered stent in the Emergency Treatment of massive epistaxis due to active bleeding from pseudoaneurysm in the petrous internal carotid artery (ICA) is described.
