Heart rate and central venous blood temperature (CVT) were measured in 31 people with different exercise capacities by means of a thermistor integrated into a lead that was placed in the right ventricle. Bicycle ergometric and treadmill stress tests with increasing workloads were performed. The maximum increase in CVT with ergometric exercise was found to be 1.3 degrees C at 250 W in healthy young volunteers and 1.0 degrees C at 125 W in cardiac patients. Despite a relatively greater increase in CVT in the elderly patients compared with the volunteers, the correlation between the increase in CVT and that in heart rate at the end of each exercise stage was found to be very high (r = .9693 in volunteers and r = .9864 in cardiac patients), independent of physical fitness. Even with everyday activities such as walking there was a marked increase in CVT. Due to its close relationship to human metabolism, CVT represents a good parameter for physiologic control of pacing rate.

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of stroke, constituting 0.5-3% of all strokes with an extremely varied spectrum of presentation, predisposing factors, neuroimaging findings, and eventual outcomes. A high index of suspicion is needed because timely diagnosis can significantly alter the natural course of the disease, reduce acute complications, and improve long-term outcomes.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare and potentially critical cerebrovascular disease involving intracranial dural sinuses and veins. The diagnosis is a stepwise pathway starting from clinical suspicion and employing several neuroradiological techniques, mainly Computed Tomography (CT)-based and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based modalities. The neuroradiological findings, both in the diagnostic phase and in the follow-up phase, may provide some results at risk for misdiagnosis.

<b>Introduction:</b> Central venous thrombosis (CVT) represents a well-documented complication of acute otitis media (AOM) and acute mastoiditis (AM). Despite widespread antibiotic utilization, which has significantly reduced the incidence of severe AOM/AM complications, recent years have witnessed an increasing frequency of thrombotic complications in pediatric patients, not invariably presenting with classical neurological manifestations.<b>Aim:</b> This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between COVID-19 infection and increased CVT incidence, while sharing therapeutic experiences, given the absence of standardized treatment protocols for otogenic CVT in pediatric populations.

Objective The impact of type 1 DM (T1DM) on thromboembolism in pregnancy is uncertain. We hypothesized that T1DM is associated with higher rates of thrombotic events during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Inpatient Sample database from HCUP/AHRQ for 2017-2019.

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare type of thrombosis that affects the cerebral venous system. The data on neurological outcomes are limited.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the neurological outcomes of CVST, contributing factors, clinical presentation, treatment and mortality.
