The first reported case of acute ischemic stroke treated with tissue plasminogen activator at Mansoura University, Egypt
We report on the first case of acute ischemic stroke to be treated with rTPA at our University hospitals. She received rTPA 4 h and 20 min after the onset of symptoms despite the occurrence of stroke inside the hospital and the availability of rTPA. The patient showed partial improvement after 3 months. We hope that public and medical staff awareness as well as our developing experience relative to treatment of acute ischemic stroke would improve over time allowing for avoidance of long-term suffering of these patients.

Aspirin resistance: Prevalence and clinical outcome in Egypt
Publication date: Available online 7 January 2015 Source:The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine Author(s): Ahmed Salah , Mohammed El-Desuky , Amal Rizk , Amr El-Hadidy Introduction The antiplatelet drug aspirin is considered as a cornerstone in medical treatment of patients with CV or cerebrovascular diseases. Despite its use, a significant number of patients had recurrent adverse ischemic events. Inter-individual variability of platelet aggregation in response to aspirin may be an explanation for some of these events. Multiple trials have linked aspirin resistance to these adverse events. Objectives The aim of ...
