Association of pulse pressure with hematoma expansion in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective: Recent reports have demonstrated that a wider pulse pressure upon admission is correlated with heightened in-hospital mortality following spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ssICH). However, the underlying mechanism remains ambiguous. We investigated whether a wider pulse pressure was associated with hematoma expansion (HE).

sp. nov., a novel indole-producing and cellulose-degrading bacterium isolated from soil.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, indole-producing, and cellulose-degrading bacterial strain, designated NEAU-G-C5, was isolated from soil collected from a forest in Dali city, Yunnan province, south China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain NEAU-G-C5 was assigned to the genus and showed high sequence similarities to 12-OD1 (98.32 %) and 6 NM-7 (98.
