Abstract: Between April 1988 and October 1989, 22 adult patients with isolated or predominant severe mitral stenosis underwent Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Valvuloplasty (PTMV). In 20 patients, a transseptal double balloon technique was used; in the last 2 patients, dilatation was performed using the Inoue balloon. Immediately after the procedure, the mitral valve area (MVA) rose from 1.2 +/- 0.3 to 2.2 +/- 0.8 cm2 (p < 0.0001) using the hemodynamic method and from 1.1 +/- 0.4 to 1.9 +/- 0.4 cm2 (p < 0.0001) using a Doppler technique. The mean left atrial pressure decreased from 20.3 +/- 6.0 to 10.5 +/- 5.0 mm Hg (p < 0.0001). After the procedure, severe mitral regurgitation or significant iatrogenic interatrial septum defect did not occur. Two cerebral accidents were observed. One patient had a severe stroke with aphasia and hemiplegia but recovered within 3 months. The other patient had a minor dysarthric event, which resolved completely after 24 hours. Three months follow-up data in 16 patients revealed that they all were in NYHA class I or II. Restenosis occured in 1 case. In the whole group of patients the MVA calculated by Doppler examination was similar to immediately after PTMV (1.9 +/- 0.4 versus 1.9 +/- 0.7 cm2)

Abstract: In 73 patients after AMI, 131 patients with cerebral stroke and in 116 patients with cerebral tumours the QT(c)-intervals in different ECG leads were measured. In about 30% of pts with AMI there were prolonged (greater-than-or-equal-to 440 ms) QT(c)-values. Patients with AMI suffering from VT or non- survivors had the longest QT(c)-values. Also in patients with cerebral stroke and prolonged QT-values (greater-than-or-equal- to 440 ms) the risk of dying was significantly higher than in patients that survived. The prolongation of QT(c) in patients with cerebral tumours are not correlated with prognosis but with the severity of neurological disturbances

Abstract: Glutamate, an excitatory amino acid (EAA), plays an important role in neuron to neuron signaling by binding to specific receptors. When, during neuronal firing, quanta of glutamate are released from the nerve terminal, they interact with the receptors for a few milliseconds and, thereafter, glutamate is promptly cleared by appropriate mechanisms. The neurotoxic action of glutamate arises from its capacity to trigger a pathophysiological chain of events when it acts continuously and abusively on its receptors (e.g., during cerebral edema associated with trauma, ischemia, stroke). In primary cultures of cerabellar granule neurons the abusive stimulation of EAA receptors by glutamate amplifies pathologicaly two early intracellular signals: free cytosolic Ca++ and the translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) from cytosol to neuronal membrane. Both of these signals persist unabated even after removal of glutamate from the incubation medium. Natural gangliosides and their semisynthetic derivatives protect neurons from glutamate toxicity by blocking the consequences of receptor abuse but they leave physiological responses to glutamate unaffected; hence they represent a prototype of a "receptor abuse dependent antagonist" (RADA)

Abstract: In a prospective population-based study rehabilitation outcome and achieved health quality was followed in consecutive hospitalized stroke patients after 3, 6 and 12 months. The study group comprised 258 patients (125 men and 133 women) admitted during the period February 1st 1986 - January 31st 1987. Most (76%) had major stroke and 24% had minor stroke. Stroke occurred predominantly among the elderly; 74% were greater-than-or-equal-to 70 years and 38% greater-than-or- equal-to 80 years. The case-fatality rate was 11% during the acute phase and 27% after one year. Of all patients 49% returned to their own homes, 2% moved into an old people's home and 38% were referred to institutions. Age of the patient and severity of the stroke influenced on the survival rates and on the discharge pattern. The amount of patients living in their own homes increased steadily with time. At discharge and after 3, 6 and 12 months 49, 54, 58, 56% of all patients and 54, 66, 73 and 77% of the survivors respectively were living at home, whereas 38, 22, 15 and 10% of all patients and 43, 27, 19 and 14% of the survivors were in institutions at the corresponding time periods. The remaining survivors were living in an old people's home. The major recovery of functional ability occurred within the first 3-6 months. At 3, 6 and 12 months 80, 82 and 81% of the surviving patients were able to walk indoors independently

Abstract: Cerebral edema, resolution of edema, and subsequent development of cerebral atrophy were studied prospectively in 83 patients with ischemic stroke with CT 3 days, 2 weeks, and 6 months poststroke. Nineteen patients had large (diameter > 3 cm), 25 medium sized (diameter greater-than-or-equal-to 1.5 less-than- or-equal-to 3 cm), and 15 lacunar infarcts (diameter < 1.5 cm). In 24 patients no infarcts were seen. Changes of Evans' ratio (ER), septum-caudate distance (S/C), and width of widest cortical sulci (SuW) were taken as markers of mass effect/atrophy. These parameters were within normal limits in most cases. However, when all CT scans performed in each patient were compared, changes of ER, S/C, and SuW became apparent as evidence of mass effect and subsequent atrophy development. Mass effect occurred in 81 percent and atrophy in 58 percent of patients with large infarcts. In patients with medium sized infarcts, mass effect occurred in 38 percent and atrophy in 45 percent
