Association of blood pressure parameters post mechanical thrombectomy in anemic versus non-anemic patients and clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Higher blood pressure (BP) is considered to be detrimental in patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy (MT), however, the impact of BP post-MT based on comorbidities like anemia has not been well studied. We aim to determine the association of 24-h post-MT BP parameters with clinical outcomes depending on their anemia status.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT at a comprehensive stroke center from 1/2015 to 12/2020.

Interplay between anemia parameters and collateral status in patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy.

Introduction: Anemia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, but its association with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is not well established. We aim to determine the association of five-day anemia parameters with clinical outcomes in patients with an AIS, depending on their pre-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) collateral status.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT at a comprehensive stroke center from 7/2014 to 12/2020.

Association of anemia with functional outcomes in patients with mechanical thrombectomy.

Introduction: Anemia at presentation is associated with worse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aim to investigate the association of anemia parameters with functional dependence and mortality in patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT for an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion at a comprehensive stroke center from 1/2015-6/2020.

Austrian Syndrome - A Devastating Osler's Triad: Case Report and Literature Review.

Austrian syndrome is a rare triad of meningitis, pneumonia, and endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. We present a case of the Austrian syndrome in the oldest patient in the reviewed literature, with no other classically described risk factors. She had an unusual initial presentation and microorganism portal of entry.

Injury profile of a professional soccer team in the premier league of iran.

Purpose: Despite numerous studies which have been done regarding soccer injuries worldwide, there is lack of available data considering the epidemiology of injuries in the Iranian soccer premier league, although it is the most popular sport in the country. The main goal of this research was to determine the incidence of physical injuries in the studied population, considering other characteristics such as site, type and mechanism as well.

Methods: Twenty one adult male professional soccer players (age 24±3), members of a team (Tehran-Pas) participating in Iranian premier league, were followed during a 4-month period.
