Characterising the role of haptoglobin in experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating event associated with significant mortality and morbidity. A large proportion of SAH patients either die or suffer permanent disability due to a delayed multifactorial injury processes involving blood vessels, diverse inflammatory processes and …

CT angiographic detection of cerebral aneurysms in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage in a South African institution
… presenting to Groote Schuur hospital with either subarachnoid haemorrhage or 3 rd nerve palsy have not been established by a formal audit. Objectives To determine the patient demographics, frequency of CT angiographic detection of cerebral aneurysms and aneurysmal characteristics in patients …

Cognitive outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage after clipping or coiling : a comparative post intervention study in a hospital population
Subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to ruptured cerebral aneurysm and clipping are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite favourable neurological outcomes, many patients report persistent cognitive and emotional deficits post intervention. To compare cognitive and quality of …

Psychosocial outcomes after moderate to severe acquired brain injury
… injury, from both internal causes(e.g. stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage) and external causes (e.g. traumatic braininjury).Part one is a systematic literature review of empirical studies examining socialsupport after traumatic brain injury. An introduction to the social support literature …

Non-invasive diagnostic methods of intracranial arteries
… the diagnostic accuracy of CTA in non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) compared to DSA and to assess the arterial attenuation (HU) as an image quality factor in this aspect. Follow-up DSA and time-of-flight (TOF) MRA at 1.5T and 3T as well as contrast-enhanced MRA at 3T were performed in …

Intracranial Monitoring after Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
… pressure and demonstrate that initial subarachnoid haemorrhage is associated with the subsequent development of elevated intracranial pressure. In addition, elevated glucose during the intensive care stay is associated with worse pressure reactivity. Cortical blood flow and brain tissue …

Neuroendokrine Funktionsstörungen, gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität und psychiatrische Folgeerkrankungen im chronischen Stadium nach aneurysmatischer Subarachnoidalblutung
Patients who have sustained aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) often suffer persistent impairments in their quality of life (QoL) and psychiatric disturbances despite a good neurological outcome. In the light of the high prevalence of partial hyptopituitarism in SAH survivors and the …

The Acoustics of Cerebral Aneurysms
… are the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage, a devastating type of stroke. Aneurysms are localised expansions of blood vessels. Brain aneurysms most often form a bulge at a blood vessel bifurcation. The possible outcomes of ruptured aneurysms are disastrous, with a …

Variations in the circulus arteriosus cerebri in a South African cadaveric sample
… aneurysm formation with subsequent rupture and subarachnoid haemorrhage. It is important to know the prevalence of these variations in a population. This is a cross-sectional, observational and quantitative study approved by the UCT Human Research Ethics Committee (645/2022) and the Cadaver …

Multi-modality imaging assessment of cerebral small vessel disease biomarkers after stroke due to spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage
In most cases, spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is thought to result from cerebral small vessel diseases (SVDs). Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and arteriolosclerosis (non-CAA SVD) are the two main types of SVD associated with ICH. The risk of recurrent ICH and post-stroke dementia …

Epidemiology of stroke in an urban population - aspects of time, place and person
… Vietnam had an increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage, and people born in Finland had an increased risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage. People born in Rumania had lower risk than those born in Sweden. Previous studies from the city have shown that incidence of stroke show substantial …

The Development of a Reduced Order Model for Prediction of Haemodynamic and Biochemical Changes in a Computational Cerebral Aneurysm Thrombosis Model
… wall dilation. Cerebral aneurysms pose a risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage if they rupture. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm could lead to mortality or morbidity. It is therefore important for clinicians to be able to predict whether an aneurysm will rupture or not. This enables them to decide whether …

Cognitive impairment: quantification and possibilities for pharmacological treatment
… doctors, as well as on patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and on patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Quantification of cognitive impairment is the crucial first step in determining which neural networks are involved, and thus which pharmacological agents would be suitable …

Modelling of risk factors, case-fatalities, survival and functional health status for stroke in Kelantan, Malaysia
… a) ischaemic stroke, b) primary intracerebral haemorrhage, c) subarachnoid haemorrhage and d) undetermined stroke (no computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], autopsy or cerebral angiography). The risk factors and fatalities for stroke vary worldwide and stroke accounts for …
