The Expression and Significance of the Plasma Let-7 Family in Anti- N -methyl- d -aspartate Receptor Encephalitis
Abstract The study aimed to investigate the expression and significance of the plasma let-7 family in anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. Blood samples from 5 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients and 5 negative controls were collected for microarray analysis. Blood samples from10 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients, 10 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients whose physical conditions have improved after 3 months of immunotherapy, 20 virus (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 20 tuberculosis (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 10 purulent (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 20 cerebral cysticercosis patient...

Stroke and the noncommunicable diseases: A global burden in need of global advocacy
Catalyzed by advocacy in the early period of the global AIDS crisis, the past decades have witnessed a revolution in global health funding, programs, and outcomes. In 2011, global HIV/AIDS programs received $7.7 billion of development assistance, amounting to 25% of total global health funding. In comparison, all noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) combined received only $377 million or 1.2% of global health funding, 20-fold less than HIV/AIDS funding.1 Taken together, NCDs cause an estimated 66% of yearly global mortality.2 The percentage of estimated total global mortality due to stroke (11.3%), a single NCD, exceeds that of...

Prognostic value of grip strength: findings from the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study
This study suggests that measurement of grip strength is a simple, inexpensive risk-stratifying method for all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and cardiovascular disease. Further research is needed to identify determinants of muscular strength and to test whether improvement in strength reduces mortality and cardiovascular disease. Funding Full funding sources listed at end of paper (see Acknowledgments).

A Case Report of Rheumatoid Meningitis, an unusual complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis (P4.056)
CONCLUSIONS: Rheumatoid Meningitis is an extremely uncommon complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Initial presentations can vary from altered mental status (most common), cranial neuropathies, hemiparesis/paraparesis, seizure, headache and very rarely stroke like symptoms. This patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis presented with multiple stroke like episodes, lepomeningeal enhancement. Diagnosis was established on the basis of Imaging and Histopathology after excluding other potential causes of granulomatous meningitis.

The Changing Epidemiology of Stroke in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). (I7-1A)
Conclusions:There is an increased frequency of AIDS among stroke patients, possibly due to the increased detection of AIDS. In the HAART era, the median age of incident stroke in AIDS has increased. Whether HAART can reduce the incidence and improve survival of stroke needs to be explored.Disclosure: Dr. Kucab has received personal compensation for activities with Bayer HealthCare as an advisory board participant. Dr. Bhattacharya has nothing to disclose.

Myriad Manifestations of a Global Infectious Disease (I7-5A)
CONCLUSIONS: This case exhibits the myriad manifestations of tuberculosis in one patient; including meningitis, vasculitis, and tuberculomas. It also highlights that insular stroke in the non-dominant hemisphere could affect the cardiovascular-autonomic system.Disclosure: Dr. Prabhu has nothing to disclose.

Risk Factors Associated With Death in a 12-Month Cohort Analysis of Tuberculosis Patients: 12-Month Follow-up After Registration
The aim of the study was to investigate the risk of death for 12 months follow-up after registration of tuberculosis (TB), using a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study. A total of 33851 new TB cases were enrolled from 2006 to 2008. Of these, 5584 (16.5%) patients died during the follow-up period because of TB, and 4224 (12.5%) patients died because of other causes. Multivariate survival analysis revealed that age, HIV, chronic kidney disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic liver disease and cirrhosis were significant risk factors associated with death. Patients of age 0 to 64 years with HIV, chronic kidney d...

Role of new oral antithrombin in management of thrombophilia presented with multiple infarctions (cerebral, myocardial and pulmonary embolism)
Publication date: Available online 5 January 2015 Source:Egyptian Journal of Chest Diseases and Tuberculosis Author(s): Mohamed Abdelwahab , Ayman El-Dib , Mohamed Hantera , Ayman A. Al-azzouny Background Thromboembolic disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity Current anticoagulant therapies have several caveats in the clinical use. New oral antithrombin (Dabigatran) provides comparable or superior thromboprophylaxis in multiple thromboembolic disease indications compared to standard of care. Aim of this work To evaluate the role of a new oral antithrombin, in management of thrombophilia presented with multip...

Medical knowledge level of Roma inmantes
Conclusions. We have noticed that a great part of the subjects did not have basic medical knowledge. We can say that the level of tuition has a direct impact on FEV1. The primary care physician can potentially improve patient outcomes by increasing medical education level, including the recognition of exacerbation, risk factors, signs and symptoms. The format for the delivery of education will vary depending on staff availability and expertise.

Stroke in patients with tuberculous meningitis in a low TB endemic country: an increasing medical emergency?
This study evaluated the frequency, clinical characteristics, risk factors and outcomes of patients with TBM complicated by stroke admitted to the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Perugia Hospital, Italy from 1971 to 2010. Over four decades, 419 patients were admitted with tuberculosis, of these 30 (7.1%) were diagnosed with TBM: 20 definite, one probable and nine possible. Twenty-six were evaluable for stroke and six (23%) had stroke. The latter six had advanced stages of meningitis, two tested HIV positive, three HIV negative and in one HIV was not performed. Of seven patients without stroke tested for HIV, only ...
