Continuous irrigation with thrombolytics for intraventricular hemorrhage: case-control study.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a complication of a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Standard treatment is with external ventricular drain (EVD). Intraventricular thrombolysis may improve mortality but does not improve functional outcomes.

Dural venous sinus stenting technique for idiopathic intracranial hypertension in patients with tortuous venous anatomy.

Venous sinus stenting (VSS) for medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is emerging as a safe and effective alternative to shunting. However, stent navigation past the jugular bulb with commonly used carotid stenting systems via femoral access in cases with tortuous venous anatomy can present a challenge, leading to procedural failure. We present a technical refinement using a cervical access and peripheral vascular stent with a more stable 0.

Resistance circuit training combined with hypoxia stimulates bone system of older adults: A randomized trial.

Purpose: Aging leads to gradual irreversible decline in bone mass. As adherence to pharmacological treatment is poor, hypoxia combined with strength training has been suggested for therapeutic benefit for clinical populations. The present study investigated the effects of normobaric cyclic hypoxic exposure combined with resistance circuit training on bone of older adults.

Putting Time in Perspective: An Integrated Graduate Medical Education Institutional Dashboard and Report Card.

Background: ACGME-I requires sponsoring institutions (SIs) to have systematic oversight of program performance. This was initially carried out through annual review, however, maintaining compliance became a challenge for a large SI like Singapore Health Services (SingHealth) as the number of residency programs grew from 5 to 34 in 3 years.

Objective: We assessed the impact of quarterly monitoring using a dashboard on graduate medical education (GME) program performance and institutional oversight.

Production levels and health status in Iberian piglets at weaning.

The aim of this study was to describe the postweaning growth of Iberian piglets and its relationship with the occurrence of diarrhea. To assess these factors in response to different weaning ages, a total of 360 pure-breed Iberian piglets were studied. Three trials were conducted with 120 piglets from 24 litters randomly assigned to be weaned at 28 or 42 d of age (12 litters and 60 piglets each).
