Outcomes of stroke patients undergoing thrombolysis in Sri Lanka; an observational prospective study from a low-middle income country.

Background: Stroke related deaths are relatively higher in low- and middle-income countries where only a fraction of eligible patients undergo thrombolysis. There is also limited evidence on post-thrombolysis outcomes of patients from Asian countries in these income bands.

Methods: This is a single center prospective observational study of a patient cohort with acute ischaemic stroke, undergoing thrombolysis with alteplase (low and standard dose), over a 24-month period in 2019/2020.

Ischemic Stroke Subtypes: Socio-demographic Factors, Risk Factors, and Outcomes in Southern Sri Lanka.

Background: Stroke is a heterogeneous, catastrophic disease. A comprehensive clinical analysis of ischemic stroke (IS) risk factors and outcomes is crucial for optimum management in resource-poor settings.

Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of acute cerebrovascular disease (ACVD) involving 592 patients was conducted in a tertiary care center in Sri Lanka from November 2018 to May 2019.

A challenging case of Cushing's disease complicated with multiple thrombotic phenomena following trans-sphenoidal surgery; a case report.

Background: Cushing's syndrome occurs due to overproduction of cortisol from adrenal glands. Endogenous hypercortisolemia can occur secondary to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) dependent as well as independent causes. The presence of non-specific symptoms and signs contributes to a delay in diagnosis.
