Vascular and Vasogenic Manifestations of Systemic ANCA-Associated Vasculitis with Renal Involvement in Non-Contrast Brain MRI in Patients with Acute Disease Onset.

Background. Data concerning central nervous system (CNS) alterations in ANCA-associated vasculitis with renal involvement (AAVR) are sparse. The study aimed to assess vascular and vasogenic brain alterations in patients with acute onset of AAVR and the applicability of non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in this diagnosis.

RISK FACTORS OF rt-PA THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE.

The stroke mortality rate in Poland is one of the highest in Europe with particularly large percentage of deaths in early phase of stroke. The aim of the study was to analyze the causes and risk factors for treatment failure and early death in patient with ischemic stoke treated with thrombolysis in the Department of Neurology, Military Institute of Medicine. The study included 295 patients treated with thrombolysis over the period 2005-2015.

[Treatment of ischemic stroke with mechanical trombectomy systems].

Unlabelled: The implementation of ischemic stroke therapy has created new opportunities for clinical improvement and the reversal of adverse prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Mechanical thrombectomy has become the recommended treatment for acute stroke in a select group of patients and in highly specialized centres with experience in endovascular therapy.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate of the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke within the first six hours of illness was reported.

Mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke - Five years of experience in Poland.

Objectives: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not reimbursed by the Polish public health system. We present a description of 5 years of experience with MT in acute stroke in Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs) in Poland.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively analyzed the results of a structured questionnaire from 23 out of 25 identified CSCs and 22 data sets that include 61 clinical, radiological and outcome measures.
