Introduction: Patients who had a stroke are at increased risk of sepsis, dehydration and fluctuations in blood pressure, which may result in acute kidney injury (AKI). The impact of AKI on long-term stroke survival has not been studied well.
Objective: We aimed to identify incidence of AKI during acute stroke, follow-up period and its impact on long-term survival and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Objective: To determine the incidence of post-stroke seizures and the associated risk factors in a government-restructured hospital in Singapore.
Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients (age ≥21 years) admitted to the stroke rehabilitation facility at Changi General Hospital, Singapore, between June 2008 and May 2017, with a minimum post-discharge follow-up of 6 months. Patients with known epilepsy central nervous system infection or tumor, a history of neurosurgery and or missing data were excluded from study.
Article Synopsis
- The main goal of second-line therapy for HIV-1 patients is to restore effective viral suppression, particularly in settings with limited treatment options.
- A study involving 95 patients in Thailand showed that a regimen of boosted protease inhibitor plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors was the most common choice for second-line treatment, leading to significant improvements in patient outcomes over time.
- Factors such as good treatment adherence, a higher initial CD4 count, and earlier disease staging were linked to better virologic success, indicating the need for improved access to second-line ART in such environments.
