Article Synopsis
- Herpes zoster (shingles) is linked to a higher risk of stroke and heart attacks; this study aimed to see how a specific vaccine affects that risk in at-risk patients, like those with diabetes or hypertension.
- Using data from a large health database, researchers compared 27,093 vaccinated adults to five times that number of unvaccinated controls, monitoring their health for five years.
- Results showed vaccinated individuals had significantly lower rates of both stroke (1.61% vs 2.20%) and myocardial infarction (1.29% vs 1.82%), especially among those with diabetes, indicating that the vaccine may help reduce these serious health risks.
Current Treatment Options for Peripheral Nerve Hyperexcitability Syndromes.
Curr Treat Options Neurol
May 2018
Purpose Of Review: Peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (PNH) syndromes are divided into primary and secondary groups based on the presence or absence of demonstrable peripheral nerve disease. In this review, we systematically evaluate the evidence for current therapies and supportive managements based on autoimmune, paraneoplastic, and genetic components in pathophysiology reported in the literature.
Recent Findings: Current therapy options are based on symptomatic management as well as focusing the underlying immune/genetic/paraneoplastic pathology by immunosuppressants, chemotherapy, and surgery.
Purpose: The reliability of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in predicting outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been questioned. We investigated whether the absence of cortical (N20) responses was a reliable predictor of a nonawakening in the setting of TH.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted in cardiac arrest survivors treated with TH admitted to a single tertiary care hospital from April, 2010 to March, 2013 who underwent SSEP testing at various time points after cardiac arrest.
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most devastating and debilitating form of stroke, remains a major healthcare concern all over the world. Intracerebral hemorrhage is frequently managed in critical care settings where intensive monitoring and treatment are employed to prevent and address primary and secondary brain injury as well as other medical complications that may arise. Although there has been increasing data guiding the management of ICH in the past decade, prognosis remains dismal.
