BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In the brain of HIV-infected patients, proton MR spectroscopic studies are typically used to examine small volumes of tissue with single-voxel methods. Since brain disease is diffuse in patients with HIV, such studies preclude assessment of the true extent of the metabolic burden. To assess this extent, the relationship between global neuronal integrity, reflected by the whole-brain N-acetylaspartate (WBNAA) concentration, was correlated with neuropsychological function and the AIDS dementia complex (ADC) stage score. METHODS: WBNAA levels were compared between 15 HIV-infected patients (seven symptomatic, eight asymptomatic) and 13 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. The patients' WBNAA level was correlated with cognitive performance, as measured with a battery of eight tests (NPZ-8), including the ADC stage score and four total-memory, mood, motor, and processing speed subtests. RESULTS: WBNAA levels were significantly different between patients and healthy subjects (mean +/- sigma, 11.82 +/- 1.40 and 12.91 +/- 1.03 mmol/L, respectively; P =.032) after we adjusted for age and sex effects. Intermediate negative correlations were found between the WBNAA level, the processing speed subtest score (r = -0.50, P =.03), and the ADC stage score (r = -0.44, P =.05). CONCLUSION: The WBNAA concentration complements brain atrophy data with information about the quality of the remaining neuronal and axonal tissue in patients with HIV infection. In HIV-infected patients, its correlation with processing speed and the ADC score indicates that the latter reflects pathologic deficits, which are extensive throughout the brain. 相似文献

Vitamin D (VitD) levels in older Mayans are currently unknown. Geographic factors, for example, residences in areas receiving ample sunlight at high altitudes and latitudes near the equator, would favor optimum VitD levels, whereas demographic factors, for example, darker skin pigmentation, clothing practices, and older age, would favor low 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, or 25(OH)D, levels. Conjecturing that demographic factors affecting VitD status might outweigh geographic factors in this population, we hypothesized that older Mayans have suboptimal values of 25(OH)D. We also hypothesized that older Mayans in rural areas would have higher VitD levels than would their urban counterparts. Blood samples were collected from 108 healthy older Mayans (mean age, 69 years) from urban (n = 84, 50% male) and rural settings (n = 24, 50% male) during the summer of 2008 in the highlands of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. We assessed 25(OH)D concentrations by radioimmunoassay in a US-based laboratory. Mean (SD) serum 25(OH)D values were 53.3 (15.0) nmol/L, and lower 25(OH)D values were associated with increasing age (r = −0.58, P = .004). Of all subjects, 3.7% (n = 4) maintained an optimal status of 25(OH)D (>80 nmol/L), 50% (n = 54) had values between 50 and 80 nmol/L, and 46.3% (n = 50) had levels less than 50 nmol/L. Urban subjects had nonsignificantly higher 25(OH)D values (55.0 ± 15.3 nmol/L) than did rural subjects (47.4 ± 12.4 nmol/L, P = .228). Men had significantly higher values (58.2 ± 16.5 nmol/L) than did women (48.4 ± 11.6 nmol/L, P = .001). We conclude that despite residing in an optimal geographic location to receive adequate sunlight exposure, most older Guatemalan Mayans in Quetzaltenango have suboptimal levels of VitD. 相似文献

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage is the most common neurological disorder leading to pre-hospital cardiac arrest. ECG changes in SAH may mimic myocardial infarction or ischemia, and thus lead to delayed treatment of the primary problem. Early identification of SAH-induced cardiac arrest with the use of computed tomography scan of the brain obtained immediately after resuscitation will aid emergency physicians make further decisions. The overall prognosis of patients who are resuscitated is extremely poor. But, prompt neurosurgical referral and multidisciplinary intensive care management can improve the survival rate and the functional outcome. Thus, physicians should consider SAH as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with pre-hospital cardiac arrest. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:
Closed loop bowel obstruction is a specific type of mechanical obstruction with a high risk of strangulation and bowel infarction, especially in the small bowel. It is associated with a high mortality rate. Hence, it is important for emergency physicians to identify the presence of strangulation, while making the diagnosis of closed loop small bowel obstruction.METHODS:
We reported three patients with strangulated closed loop small bowel obstruction associated with severe abdominal pain, who had been treated at the emergency department. Urgent computerized tomography was performed in the patients.RESULTS:
Two patients were discharged with stable conditions, and one patient died after hemodialysis.CONCLUSION:
Urgent computerized tomography of the abdomen serves as an important diagnostic tool in view of its ability to detect the site, level and cause of obstruction along with the distinctive CT appearance of closed loop small bowel obstruction and signs of ischemia. Early definitive diagnosis will guide subsequent management and improve outcomes.KEY WORDS: Closed loop small bowel obstruction, Computed tomography, Ischemia, Strangulation 相似文献8.

Adalimumab belongs to the group of tumour necrosis factor‐α inhibitors and has been approved for the treatment Crohn's Disease since 2007. Herein we report a severe adverse reaction to adalimumab in a 25‐year‐old female patient. One week after the initial‐dose of adalimumab (160 mg), which was initiated due to an acute exacerbation of Crohn's disease, the patient developed a fulminant cardiomyopathy. In severe cardiogenic shock, the patient required an extracorporeal membrane‐oxygenation system for 8 days until cardiac recovery. 相似文献
