Blood Pressure Variability in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Role of Early Recanali...
Martins, AI; Sargento-Freitas, J; Jesus-Ribeiro, J; Correia, I; Cardoso, L; Gomes, JP; Gonçalves, M; Costa, R; Silva, F; Galego, O; Nunes, CWe performed a retrospective study with the aim of investigating the association between blood pressure (BP) variability in the first 24 h after ischemic stroke and functional outcome, regarding arterial recanalization status. A total of 674 patients diagnosed with acute stroke and treated with revascularization therapies were enrolled. Systolic and diastolic BP values of the first 24 h after stroke were collec...
Collateral pial circulation relates to the degree of brain edema on CT 24 hours...
Galego, O; Jesus-Ribeiro, J; Baptista, M; Sargento-Freitas, J; Martins, AI; Silva, F; Santos, GC; Cunha, L; Nunes, C; Machado, EBackground Cerebral edema is frequent in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who undergo reperfusion therapy and is associated with high mortality. The impact of collateral pial circulation (CPC) status on the development of edema has not yet been determined. Methods We studied consecutive patients with AIS and documented M1-middle cerebral artery (MCA) and/or distal internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusio...
Visual and ocular motor function in the atypical form of neurodegeneration with...
Jesus-Ribeiro, J; Farinha, C; Amorim, M; Matos, A; Reis, A; Lemos, J; Castelo-Branco, M; Januário, CBACKGROUND/AIMS: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) type I is a rare disease that can be divided into a classical or atypical variant, according to age of onset and clinical pattern. Neuro-ophthalmological involvement has been documented in the classical variant but only anecdotically in the atypical variant. We sought to describe the visual and ocular motor function in patients with atypical...
