Impact of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Patient Recovery After Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: A Fast Track to Fitness.

Regular exercise leads to various adaptations and many pathophysiological changes that significantly benefit exercise stamina and overall health, both in the general population and in patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of exercise training that consists of short repetitive bursts of intense workouts that push the body to more than 90 percent of its maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and more than 75 percent of maximal power, with in between periods of low-intensity exercise for recovery, followed by a cool-down period. HIIT has unquestionably emerged as a powerful and effective intervention in rehabilitating patients, particularly those recovering from heart attacks and strokes.

Nephrocalcinosis-A gateway to the Diagnosis.

Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is the augmented calcium content within the renal parenchyma. Its pathogenesis mainly involves hypercalciuria. The presence of medullary NC provides a window to the clinician for the diagnosis of many important diseases.

Stability of MDS-UPDRS Motor Subtypes Over Three Years in Early Parkinson's Disease.

Various classifications have been proposed to subtype Parkinson's disease (PD) based on their motor phenotypes. However, the stability of these subtypes has not been properly evaluated. The goal of this study was to understand the distribution of PD motor subtypes, their stability over time, and baseline factors that predicted subtype stability.

Frequency and Predictors of Early Seizures Following First Acute Stroke: Data from a University Hospital in South India.

Background: Stroke is a common neurological condition, and post-stroke seizures are known to occur. Early seizures may suggest the severity of insult and may have an effect on the outcome. There are conflicting results on the frequency of early seizures, and studies from India are scarce.

Predictors of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Acute Stroke Patients Receiving Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator.

Background: Symptomatic Intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is a serious complication of recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and predictors of sICH in patients after receiving IV rt-PA for AIS.

Material And Methods: Consecutive patients of AIS thrombolysed between January 2010 and June 2016 in a University hospital in Hyderabad (India) were studied prospectively for sICH and it's various variables compared with the control group without sICH to determine any sigificantant difference.

Risk Factors, Vascular Lesion Distribution, Outcome and Recurrence of Strokes Due to Intracranial Atherosclerosis: One Year Data from Hyderabad Stroke Registry.

Background: Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a common cause of ischemic stroke in Asian countries and probably in India.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the risk factors, distribution of vascular lesions, recurrence and outcome of stroke due to ICAS.

Methodology: A total of 100 consecutive patients of ischemic stroke due to ICAS were enrolled prospectively from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, and followed for 1 year for treatment compliance and recurrence.

Factors influencing nonadministration of thrombolytic therapy in early arrival strokes in a university hospital in Hyderabad, India.

Background: It is a well-known fact that very few patients of stroke arrive at the hospital within the window period of thrombolysis. Even among those who do, not all receive thrombolytic therapy.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of early arrival ischemic strokes (within 6 h of stroke onset) in our hospital and to evaluate the causes of nonadministration of intravenous and/or intraarterial thrombolysis in them.

Attitude of epilepsy patients and their attendants for participating in research on status epilepticus.

To evaluate the reason joining in status epilepticus (SE) trial by epilepsy patients and attendants and their preferences for types of trials and consent. The participants were interviewed after giving a SE case summary. Their demographic details, reason of consenting or non-consenting and preference of trials and type of consent were noted.
