In-Hospital Versus Out-of-Hospital Stroke Onset Comparison of Process Metrics in a Community Primary Stroke Center.

Objective: To examine in-hospital stroke onset metrics and outcomes, quality of care, and mortality compared with out-of-hospital stroke in a single community-based primary stroke center.

Patients And Methods: Medical records of in-hospital stroke onset were compared with out-of-hospital stroke onset alert data between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2019. Time-sensitive stroke process metric data were collected for each incident stroke alert.

Encephalitis: A Case Report and Literature Review of Neurologic Manifestations of Anaplasmosis.

is an obligate intracellular, Gram-negative pathogen, causative agent of Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (HGA). HGA usually manifests as a non-specific febrile illness, accompanied by evidence of leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, and an alteration in liver enzymes. Neurologic manifestations of anaplasmosis are rare and rarely reported.

Severe hypernatremia in hyperglycemic conditions; managing it effectively: A case report.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are common acute complications of diabetes mellitus with a high risk of mortality. When combined with hypernatremia, the complications can be even worse. Hypernatremia is a rarely associated with DKA and HHS as both are usually accompanied by normal sodium or hyponatremia.

In-Hospital Stroke Care: A Six-Year Community-Based Primary Stroke Center Experience.

Background And Purpose: In-hospital stroke-onset assessment and management present numerous challenges, especially in community hospitals. Comprehensive analysis of key stroke care metrics in community-based primary stroke centers is under-studied.

Methods: Medical records were reviewed for patients admitted to a community hospital for non-cerebrovascular indications and for whom a stroke alert was activated between 2013 and 2019.
