The author investigated the frequency and character of side-effects to penicillin, levomycetin, tetracycline in the treatment of 92 patients with different forms of chronic bronchitis. Clinically all side-effects were subdivided in dysbacteriosis, allergic, toxic and mixed. It was established that the high incidence of side-effects furthers allergization of the body and potentiation of bronchial spasm. That is why the employment of antibiotics in these cases is not indicated. The low incidence of side-effect of antibiotics in purulent bronchitis requires their use under thorough medical surveillance.

Background: A modified computed tomography angiography (CTA)-based Carotid Plaque Reporting and Data System (Plaque-RADS) classification was applied to a cohort of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source to test whether high-risk Plaque-RADS subtypes are more prevalent on the ipsilateral side of stroke. With the widespread use of CTA for stroke evaluation, a CTA-based Plaque-RADS would be valuable for generalizability.
Methods: A retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted at a single integrated health system comprised of 3 hospitals with a comprehensive stroke center between October 1, 2015, and April 1, 2017.

Despite the availability of various pain-relieving medications for OA, current treatment strategies often fall short in delivering adequate pain relief.

Methods: Twenty-three hospitalized patients with subacute stroke participated in this study. They performed sitting and standing reaching tasks, as well as walking while wearing a VO2 Master respiratory gas analyzer and ASP devices on both the paretic and non-paretic sides.
