[Record of neurological emergencies at a tertiary care hospital].

Introduction And Objective: There is a progressive increase in the demand for multidisciplinary attention from the Emergency Medical Services. The objective of this study was to determine the proportion of neurological conditions in the total hospital emergency workload, their demographic composition and medical needs.

Patients And Methods: We present an observational study of a cohort of histories of neurological emergencies at a tertiary hospital during a period of one year.

Early single dose therapy with ofloxacin for empirical treatment of acute gastroenteritis: a randomised, placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial.

This study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy and safety of single dose ofloxacin for acute diarrhoea. Eligible patients were 16 years of age or older with a history of acute diarrhoea lasting no more than 48 h; 117 patients were randomised and 97.4% (114/117) were evaluable for efficacy.
