Stroke as a complication of cardiac catheterization: Risk factors and clinica…
Stroke is a rare but well-recognized complication of cardiac catheterization (CC).1-4 Prior series have included limited neuroimaging studies and often do not differentiate between stroke and other neurologic complications of CC such as TIA or migraine. We aim to better define the risk factors, clinical features, and radiologic pattern of these strokes.

Ischemic Strokes After Cardiac Catheterization : Opportune Thrombolysis Candi…
Stroke is an important complication after cardiac catheterization procedures, resulting in death and disability for thousands of patients each year. Common risk factors include advanced age, vascular comorbidities, and more complicated and invasive procedures. Several lines of evidence suggest that these strokes are embolic, from either dislodgement of a clot or atheromatous debris off the aort…

Facial Canal Dehiscence and Coexisting abnormalities; Radiological - Surgical…
Facial canal dehiscence (FCD) is the most important consideration in the cholesteatoma surgery. The tympanic portion is the most common localization of FCDlization in the majority of cases. MDCT is the standardt imaging modality for temporal bone screening. In this study we aimed to compare coexisting the radiological and -surgical findings of patients who have were found during surgery to have…

References form the backbone of any medical literature. Presently, because of high inflation, it is very difficult for any library/organization/college to purchase all journals. The condition is even worse for an individual person, such as private practitioners. The solution lies in the free availability of full-text articles. Here, the authors share their experiences about the accessibilit…

Serum Uric Acid and the Renin Angiotensin System in Hypertension
To study whether the renin-angiotensin system is related to hyperuricemia in hypertension, the serum concentration of uric acid was determined in 96 patients with various types of hypertension and various degrees of plasma renin activity (PRA). In malignant hypertension, both PRA and the serum uric acid level were higher than in essential hypertension; but in primary aldosteronism or desoxycort…

These data provide evidence that similarly to what described in western Europe, in central and eastern European countries SUA values are closely related to metabolic alterations, including diabetes mellitus, to renal insuffi ciency and CV risk profi le. At variance from other studies, however, no relationship was found with BP control.

Sleep loss and circadian disruption in shift work: health burden and management
Nearly 1.5 million Australians are employed in shift work, representing 16% of the working population. Shift work is associated with adverse health, safety and performance outcomes. Circadian rhythm misalignment, inadequate and poor-quality sleep, and sleep disorders are thought to contribute to these associations.

Circadian phase-shifting by light: Beyond photons
Circadian entrainment to the solar light:dark schedule is thought to be maintained by a simple photon counting method. According to this hypothesis, the pacemaker adjusts the phase of the body’s endogenous rhythms in accordance to the intensity and duration with which it encounters a perceived twilight signal. While previous data have generally supported the hypothesis, more recent analysis h…
