Caudate infarcts and hemorrhages
No full textThe caudate nucleus (CN) is composed of a head, body and
tail. The head of the CN contributes to forming the floor
of the lateral ventricle frontal horn. Moreover, the head,
which is medially separated by the septum pellucidum
extends beyond the anterior part of the thalamus, stroking
the telencephalic cortex. The superior part of the head
is covered by the knee of the corpus callosum, while the
inferior part is below the thalamus and lenticular nucleus,
which delimits the internal capsule. CN strokes are classified
into hemorrhagic and ischemic. The clinical presentation
of CN hemorrhage is often characterized by a clinical
presentation mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage, while
clinical features of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes
included behavioral abnormalities dysarthria, movement
disorders, language disturbances and memory loss. Most
studies to date that have examined vascular CN pathologies
have evidenced good outcomes.The caudate nucleus (CN) is composed of a head, body and tail. The head of the CN contributes to forming the floor of the lateral ventricle frontal horn.

Handbook on cerebral venous thrombosis
No full textCerebral veins contain about 70% of the total cerebral blood volume, but cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) occurs about a thousand times less often than arterial stroke. CVT affects mostly young adults and children, and in about one quarter of cases the cause remains unknown. Written by international experts, this publication is dealing with epidemiology, risk factors, coagulation disorders, clinical presentation especially focusing on headache, current neuroradiological treatment, complications and long-term prognosis of CVT. The book covers the full spectrum of CVT pathogenesis and offers a new and effective approach to improve earlier diagnosis, recognize new risk factors and to identify the most severe manifestations, which require more aggressive treatments. Neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and all physicians who are involved in the care of patients with CVT will welcome this publication as a useful and up-to-date clinical guide
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Manifestations of stroke
No full textStroke is the most common neurologic disease and the leading cause of adult disability in Western countries. The initial diagnosis of stroke is clinical and needs to be done as rapidly as possible to guarantee optimal medical and interventional therapy. The emergency stroke management depends heavily upon stroke scores to quantify the damage and to speed up the diagnosis process. Unfortunately, several important stroke syndromes are not taken into consideration in these currently used stroke scores and therefore tend to be overlooked and not treated. Compiled by leading international experts, this book provides an excellent overview on current stroke syndromes, including particularly problematic clinical pictures. Thus, together with stroke scores, the publication will lead to more thorough assessments in emergency settings.
This book is indispensable for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and physicians involved in the care of stroke patients.Stroke is the most common neurologic disease and the leading cause of adult disability in Western countries.
