Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare levels of resistin and copeptin between acute ischemic stroke patients and healthy controls, and to assess their potential as prognostic indicators for stroke severity and outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed data from 112 stroke patients and 63 matched controls, measuring resistin and copeptin levels and assessing stroke severity using specific scales.
- Findings showed that resistin levels were higher in stroke patients, while copeptin levels could predict poor functional outcomes, suggesting both markers could enhance stroke diagnosis and management in future studies.
Background: Temporal pattern of lipids changes in stroke patients and its prognostic significance has not yet been fully understood. Our aim was to assess the early temporal changes of lipids in acute ischemic stroke patients and its prognostic significance in predicting stroke outcome.
Methods: Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were measured at admission, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and at discharge.
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a nonspecific granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure and apex of the orbit. It involves episodes of unilateral orbital pain which may last several weeks, lesions of cranial nerve III, IV or VI, and rarely II, V, VII and VIII. It is characterized by remissions and exacerbations, and can cause permanent neurological disorder of the affected nerves.
