2. 1. Stroke : patient characteristics, efficacy of a stroke unit and evaluation of hemodilution therapy

   Author : Tage Strand; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute cerebrovascular disease; blood viscosity; cerebral infarction; hemodilution therapy; stroke unit;

   Abstract : Stroke is a major health problem in all developed countries. These studies, performed in a stroke unit at a medical department, were designed to characterize essential clinical features of the different cerebrovascular disorders on admission to hospital, to evaluate the efficacy of admitting unselected stroke patients to a stroke unit and, to evaluate hemodilution as a therapeutical regime in patients with cerebral infarction.

   Abstract : Pediatric ischemic stroke is divided into perinatal stroke, 20 weeks gestation until the 28th day of life, and childhood stroke, the 29th day of life until 18 years of age. Perinatal and childhood stroke differ in risk factors and outcomes but both cause increased mortality and morbidity in the pediatric population. READ MORE
