Poor Stroke Prognosis And Inadequate Vitamin D Levels: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis
Poor Stroke Prognosis And Inadequate Vitamin D Levels: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis Overview The study aimed to explore the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the risk of stroke. Researchers conducted a comprehensive search across three electronic databases—Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and PubMed—from their inception until July 29, 2022. The studies were
Dementia Linked To Inferior Nutrient Intake
Dementia Linked To Inferior Nutrient Intake Overview While observational research indicates that nutrition may play a protective role in brain aging, intervention studies have yet to provide conclusive evidence. This gap between observational and interventional research may be due to the failure to consider interactions between different nutrients. Researchers developed a nutrient status
Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Study To Document Patient Fatigue
Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Study To Document Patient Fatigue Overview Children and adolescents who undergo treatment for brain tumors experience higher levels of fatigue compared to survivors of other childhood cancers. This study aimed to explore the longitudinal patterns of fatigue in pediatric brain tumor patients and identify risk factors associated with
Blood Donation And Relief From Migraine Pain
Blood Donation And Relief From Migraine Pain Overview Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by headaches. Given the difficulty in finding effective treatments, many migraine sufferers turn to alternative methods, including blood donation, which is speculated to offer relief. This study used logistic, Poisson, and Cox regression to analyze the relationship between
Ischemic Strokes Threaten Patients With Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome
Ischemic Strokes Threaten Patients With Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Overview Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) can lead to ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of these outcomes. Methods included a PROSPERO-registered systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42022355704), utilizing PubMed up to
Wound Healing After A Meningioma Resection: Risky And Dangerous Clinical Findings
Wound Healing After A Meningioma Resection: Risky And Dangerous Clinical Findings Overview The study aimed to assess the risk factors impacting wound healing and infection subsequent to spinal meningioma resection surgery. A thorough analysis was conducted on the surgical incision healing of 137 patients who underwent such procedures at our institution between
Cardiac Troponins And Mortality Risk In Emergency Room Visits For Geriatric Falls
Cardiac Troponins And Mortality Risk In Emergency Room Visits For Geriatric Falls Overview The occurrence of emergency department (ED) visits following ground-level falls (GLF) is frequent, with potential links to myocardial infarction (MI), particularly in older adults who may experience unrecognized MIs. To explore this connection, we conducted a prospective, international, multicenter
Constructive Uses For Biomarker Testing In Dementia
Constructive Uses For Biomarker Testing In Dementia Overview The Investigating the Impact of Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnostics in British Columbia (IMPACT-AD BC) study aimed to evaluate the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker testing on medical decision-making, personal decision-making, and health system economics. This observational, longitudinal cohort study enrolled 149
Carpal Tunnel: Nerve Assessment Using Ultrasound Technology
Carpal Tunnel: Nerve Assessment Using Ultrasound Technology Overview Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent nerve condition commonly diagnosed through symptoms and nerve tests. Recent advances in ultrasound technology, particularly Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), offer new possibilities for diagnosis. However, defining clear diagnostic criteria remains a challenge. This research aims
