Abstract:We studied 925 consecutive patients hospitalised with acute stroke to
determine how stroke type, age, gender and risk factors influence acute,
in‐hospital outcome. Stroke types included carotid territory cortical or large
subcortical infarction (52%), vertebrobasilar infarction (12%), lacunar
infarction (11%), intracerebral haemorrhage (16%), and subarachnoid haemorrhage

Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease caused by Bipolaris and CurvulariaWiley - Tập 21 Số 6 - Trang 871-874 - 1991
F R Lake, J H Froudist, Rose McAleer, Robyn L. Gillon, Anthony E. Tribe, P. Thompson
Abstract Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease (ABPFD) usually manifests in
asthmatics as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. In a few instances other
fungi have been implicated. Serological testing in Western Australia between
1979 and 1986 revealed precipitins to Bipolaris and Curvularia species in 40 of
503 patients tested. Eight of these were patients with ABPFD due to Bipolaris
and/or... hiện toàn bộ
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION: A DOUBLE–BLIND CROSSOVER TRIAL OF PENTOXIFYLLINEWiley - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 402-409 - 1985

Abstract: The influence of the xanthine derivative pentoxifylline (‘Trental’ or
BL191; Hoechst–Roussel) on exercise tolerance was measured in 38 subjects with
stable, severe to moderately severe, intermittent claudication who completed a
randomised, double–blind, placebo controlled, cross–over clinical trial.
Patients received placebo tablets or 400 mg slow–release pentoxifylline tablets

Lipoprotein(a) levels in chronic renal disease states, dialysis and transplantationWiley - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 243-248 - 1992
Ashley Irish, Leon A. Simons, Elliott Savdie, James M. Hayes, Judith Simons
Abstract:Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. Lipoprotein(a) levels were measured in 196 patients (103 Male [M]: 93
Female [F]) with chronic renal diseases and in 116 controls. Median levels of
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] were found to be significantly elevated in patients with
untreated chronic renal disease (285, 285 mg/L; M, F; range 30–1675 mg/L) and in
those tre... hiện toàn bộ
Multiple pneumatocoeles and bilateral tension pneumothoraces complicating Pneumocystis pneumonia in AIDSWiley - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 257-260 - 1990
Quentin Summers, GarryA. Helprin, Richard Tarala, Martyn A. French
AbstractPneumatocoele and pneumothorax are uncommon complications of
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. We report a patient with the Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome who developed multiple bilateral pneumatocoeles which we
demonstrate to have ruptured leading to the subsequent bilateral tension
pneumothoraces and to death. The computerised tomographic appearances, and
histopathology of these unusu... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractNeurological manifestations of unknown cause occurring in patients who
become or are HIV antibody positive with presumed normal immune function have
been described recently. This report adds a further six cases, all of whom had
normal CD4 + cell counts either throughout the period of observation or after
the episode of seroconyersion. Three had an acute presentation, two in the
context of ... hiện toàn bộ
