The impact of the molecular diagnosis in the surveillance of the Clostridium difficile infection.
Authors: Bãicuş A, Cîrstoiu M, Lambru K, Plata F, Cîrstoiu CF Abstract Clostridium difficile is the agent of many cases of antibiotic associated diarrhea. The prevalence of the toxigenic Clostridium difficile strains was assessed by real-time PCR between May 2014- January 2015, at the Emergency University Hospital, Bucharest, Romania. The incidence of the Clostridium difficile infection was 0.47%. Among the 1119 stool specimens tested, 165 (13.8%) were positive for C. difficile toxins A and B by immunochromatography test. All 165 positive samples were investigated by real time PCR and 134 (81%) samples were pos...

O5.7. risk of diabetic complications and subsequent mortality among individuals with schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus: a nationwide population-based register study
DiscussionUnexpectedly, we found individuals with comorbid schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus to have a similar or lower rate of diabetic complications diagnosed in hospitals compared to individuals with diabetes mellitus only. However, we still found an excess mortality following a diagnosis of a diabetic complication among individuals with schizophrenia. These results may indicate that individuals are not even seen in hospitals with their diabetic complications and hence indicate an increased need for improved somatic care of individuals with schizophrenia if the burden of diabetes mellitus morbidity and mortality should be reduced.

The Burden of Diabetes and the Chance of a Previous Stroke: Thrombolysis for Recurrent Stroke in Diabetics
Intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is still not approved by the European Medicines Agency for patients with diabetes mellitus and previous stroke. We assessed functional benefit and potential risk of thrombolysis in patients with diabetes and previous stroke and the influence of age, preexisting diabetic damage, as well as acute and chronic hyperglycemia on outcome, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and in-hospital mortality.

Prospective assessment of patients with stroke in Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This study aimed to describe risk factors for stroke and clinical presentation of patients presenting to the emergency centre with stroke. Methods We conducted a cross sectional study conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 in an urban tertiary care centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between stroke types and stroke risk factors, and delayed presentation and clinical indicators. P-values less than .05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 104 patients were included. The mean age was 53 years, and...

This study was done to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in a tertiary care hospital of northern India, Guru Nanak Dev hospital, attached to Government Medical College, Amritsar, India.Methods: It is a hospital based cross sectional study involving one hundred newly diagnosed subjects with hypertension above the age 20 years. High blood pressure was defined according to Joint National committe-7 (JNC-7) guidelines, taking systolic BP> 140 and diastolic BP>90 as hypertension. Exclusion criteria included secondary hypertension, secondary cause of obesity, pregnancy, acu...

Incidence and risk factors of leukoaraiosis from 4683 hospitalized patients: A cross-sectional study
This study revealed that the incidence of LA is high in hospitalized patients in China; moreover, age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, drinking, and abnormal HCY and LDL-C levels were found to be associated with overall LA risk, LA onset, or LA progression. These results provide insight into strategies for the prevention and treatment of LA.

Importance of Distinguishing Between Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy With Elderly Onset of Stroke-Like Episodes and Cerebral Infarction.
Abstract The most common disease-causing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (ME) with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is m.3243A>G. In the future, the incidence of patients with cerebral infarction and diabetes mellitus is expected to increase tremendously. Additionally, the A3243G mutation typical of diabetes is estimated to be present in approximately 2% of all diabetes patients, which suggests that the potential disease population with a mitochondrial disorder is greater than previously thought, and there may have been many cases among the elderly that were...

A multiparameter model predicting in-hospital mortality in malignant cerebral infarction
Abstract: The early identification of patients with large hemisphere infarctions (LHIs) at risk of fatal brain edema may result in better outcomes. A quantitative model using parameters obtained at admission may be a predictor of in-hospital mortality from LHI. This prospective study enrolled all patients with LHI involving>50% of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) admitted to our neurological intensive care unit within 48 hours of symptom onset. Early clinical and radiographic parameters and the baseline CHADS2 score (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke [double weight]) w...

An Elevated High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Level Is Associated with Unfavorable Functional Outcomes of Small-Artery Occlusion in Patients without Diabetes
Background: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is associated with a risk of causing diabetes mellitus and ischemic stroke. However, the association between hs-CRP levels and functional outcome after small-artery occlusion (SAO) is unknown.Methods: Data for 836 patients diagnosed with SAO were collected from the Department of Neurorehabilitation of Huanhu Hospital. Hs-CRP values were classi#xFB01;ed according to quartiles (

Should This Patient With Global Aphasia After a Left Cerebral Stroke Be Admitted to Your Hospital-Based Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit?
You are the medical director of a very busy, 20-bed, general inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) at a community hospital. About 40% of admissions to the unit are persons with moderate and severe stroke from the geographic region, and your census runs very nearly 100% capacity, usually with a waiting list. The neurology service asks you to assess a 60-year-old man with a long history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who is now 6 days post a large left middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke.

Delayed leukoencephalopathy after recanalized cardioembolic stroke: Two case reports
A 66-year-old man with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and myocardial infarction was admitted to our hospital due to sudden somnolence, global aphasia, right spatial neglect, and right hemiparesis. Diffusion weighted images (DWI) revealed no hyperintense lesions (Fig. 1A, B). Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrated an occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). The patient was treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and endovascular therapy using the Penumbra ™ 3MAX and 5MAX ACE catheters, leading to successful recanalization of the MCA 287min after symptom onse...

Temporal Trends in Incidence, Prevalence, and Mortality of Atrial Fibrillation in Primary Care Epidemiology
BackgroundIncidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are expected to increase dramatically; however, we currently lack comprehensive data on temporal trends in unselected clinical populations.Methods and ResultsAnalysis of the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) from 1998 to 2010 of patients with incident AF, excluding major valvular disease, linked to hospital admission data and national statistics. Fifty‐seven thousand eight hundred eighteen adults were identified with mean age 74.2 (SD, 11.7) years and 48.3% women. Overall age‐adjusted incidence of AF per 1000 person years was 1.11 (95% CI, 1.09...

IJERPH, Vol. 14, Pages 423: Ambient Air Pollution and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Beijing, China
Air pollutants are associated with cardiovascular death; however, there is limited evidence of the effects of different pollutants on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in Beijing, China. We aimed to investigate the associations of OHCAs with the air pollutants PM2.5 –10 (coarse particulate matter), PM2.5 (particles ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3) between 2013 and 2015 using a time-stratified case-crossover study design. We obtained health data from the nationwide emergency medical service database; 4720 OHCA cases of cardiac ori...
