[Recommendations For The Management Of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage During Hospitalization].

Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in people over 40 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death in Argentina. In the last ten years, the indexed publications related to the treatment of ischemic stroke were more numerous than those of hemorrhagic stroke. The objective of this material is to provide local and updated recommendations for the management of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization.

[Acute ischemic stroke in cancer patients. A case-control study].

One in 10 patients with ischemic stroke has comorbid cancer. Our goal was to compare stroke patients with cancer against those without cancer in terms of clinical and radiological features, and the underlying mechanism. We conducted a retrospective case-control study in patients admitted with ischemic stroke between July 2013 and September 2018.

[Early central neurologic complications after heart transplantation are associated with higher intra-hospital mortality].

Neurological complications in orthotopic heart transplantation represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite successful transplantation. The aim of our study was to evaluate neurological complications on the outcome of patients with heart transplantation. We retrospectively studied 193 adult patients (aged = 18 years) who underwent heart transplant at Hospital Italiano in Buenos Aires from November 2014 to August 2018.

[Clinical predictors of hemorrhagic transformation in non lacunar ischemic stroke].

Hemorrhagic transformation is a complex phenomenon where brain tissue bleeds, which could be associated or not to an increase in the neurological deficit after the acute ischemic stroke. The aim of our study was to evaluate clinical predictors of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with non-lacunar ischemic stroke. We performed a prospective analysis of the clinical records and images of patients with non-lacunar ischemic stroke.
