Preclinical Optimization of Treatment with Inhaled Argon to Improve Neurological Outcome and Survival After Cardiac Arrest
<b>Introduction.</b> Treatment of post cardiac arrest (CA) syndrome represents a clinical priority. Inhalation of the noble gas Argon may represent an attractive option. The purpose of the current thesis is to determine the efficacy, safety and mechanisms of action of Argon in different …

The Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and C-Reactive-Protein and the Cognitive and Neurological Outcome in Stroke Survivors: A Systematic Review
The role of inflammation in neurological prognosis of stroke has been studied previously. However, very little research has thoroughly examined the association between inflammatory markers and neurocognitive outcome post-stroke. Our main goal was to examine the existing literature and this …

Influence of mild therapeutic hypothermia on the inflammatory response after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest
… and after 6, 24, and 120 hours. At day 14 neurological outcome was performed using the cerebral performance categories (CPC) and patients were dichotomized in those with good and bad neurological outcome. RESULTS: Regardless of outcomes, interleukin 6 levels were significantly elevated by …

Effect of sinusoidal extremely low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation on neurons and glia in a transient stroke model
… in vitro. Results showed that ELF-EMS improved neurological outcome, locomotion, habituation, and anxiety in ischemia /reperfusion models. ELF-EMS also increased neuronal survival in the hippocampus with decreased astrocytes and microglia reactivity and IL-1β expression. In vitro, ELF-EMS …

Views and perceptions of advanced life support practitioners on initiating, withholding and terminating resuscitation in out of hospital cardiac arrest in the emergency medical services of the Western Cape
… arrest (OHCA). (2) The overall prognosis and neurological outcome associated with OHCA are rather poor and have remained unchanged for the past thirty years. There is a survival rate of approximately 10% following discharge from hospital. (3, 4) This is from the United Kingdom and the United …

Vergleich der Einflußgrößen unterschiedlicher Prognosegruppen nach Subarachnoidalblutung
… retrospective study the quality of life and the outcome of patients after spontaneus non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was assessed. The follow-up was performed in two groups: 172 patients after aneurysmal SAH and 42 patients after SAH without a proven source of bleeding. Clinical and …

Rate alterable traumatic brain injury device for rodent models
… Indeed, it is likely that the wide range of TBI outcomes may be due to the physical characteristics of the trauma. Studies to date on impact have used injury devices with limited alterable parameters. Therefore, the existing impact studies have considered the effect of magnitude of the primary …

Auditory event-related potentials and cognitive outcome after very preterm birth
… born very preterm correlate with cognitive outcome, and whether AERPs are related to findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term. We investigated 70 children at 4-5 years of age who had been born very preterm, using AERPs and psychological testing, and compared them with more mature …
