Diffuse Cerebral Edema With Uncal Herniation Leading to Brain Death in Patient With Fulminant Susac syndrome: Rare Complication of Rare Disease.

Susac Syndrome was first described as an inflammatory microangiopathy of the brain and retina. Since then, multiple articles have been published in attempts to improve the understanding of this rare disease. Clinically Susac Syndrome is known to present with triad of encephalopathy, sensorineural hearing loss and branch of retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), along with characteristic "snowball" or "spoke" appearing white matter lesions of the corpus callosum.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are commonly acquired vascular lesions that form an outpouching of the arterial wall due to wall thinning. The prevalence of UIAs in the general population is 3.2%.

A feasibility pilot using a mobile personal health assistant (PHA) app to assist stroke patient and caregiver communication after hospital discharge.

Background: Recent advancements have lowered national acute stroke mortality, yet posthospital care and readmission rates remain challenges. A personal health assistant (PHA) may help manage the spectrum of posthospital care. We hypothesized that a PHA application (app) would be associated with high poststroke patient care satisfaction and might prevent hospital readmission.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and digestive cancer mortality: findings from the aerobics center longitudinal study.

Although higher levels of physical activity are inversely associated with risk of colon cancer, few prospective studies have evaluated overall digestive system cancer mortality in relation to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The authors examined this association among 38,801 men ages 20 to 88 years who performed a maximal treadmill exercise test at baseline in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (Dallas, TX) during 1974 to 2003. Mortality was assessed over 29 years of follow-up (1974-2003).

A prospective study of cardiorespiratory fitness and breast cancer mortality.

Purpose: Physical activity may protect against breast cancer. Few prospective studies have evaluated breast cancer mortality in relation to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), an objective marker of physiologic response to physical activity habits.

Methods: We examined the association between CRF and risk of death from breast cancer in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study.

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation photoelectron spectroscopy of the ClO radical: the C 2 sigma- state.

A (2 + 1) one-colour resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation study is carried out on the C 2 sigma- state of the ClO radical in the one-photon energy range 29,500-31,250 cm-1. The ClO radical is produced by one-photon photolysis of ClO2 employing 359.2 nm photons derived from a separate laser.
