SOP: thrombolysis in ischemic stroke under oral anticoagulation therapy
No full textAbstract Introduction Based on demographical trends and the expected worldwide increase in the number of individuals with atrial fibrillation, the rate of patients who are on oral anticoagulation therapy for secondary prevention of stroke rises continuously. Despite correct drug intake and good adherence to the respective medication, recurrent ischemic stroke still occurs in ~ 3% of patients. The question how to deal with such patients with regard to intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA within the 4.5 h time window is of great relevance for daily clinical routine. However, international guidelines can be considered heterogenous or do even lack recommendations on this topic especially in light of available reversal agents. Therefore, we provide this SOP. Comments Beyond the identification of acute stroke patients on oral anticoagulation therapy, the type of medication, time since last intake, renal function and laboratory exams as well as the availability of reversal agents have to be considered before rt-PA application and potential endovascular therapy. Treatment on a Stroke Unit or Neuro-ICU is certainly recommended in any of those patients. Conclusions This standardized operating procedure was designed to guide stroke physicians through questions on eligibility for rt-PA treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are on approved oral anticoagulation therapy thereby increasing the number of patients benefitting from thrombolysis and minimizing door-to-needle times
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

The similarity of brain morphology in healthy monozygotic twins
No full textAim of the study was to investigate the degree of similarity of twin brains with respect to their outer shape and gyrification. High resolution MRI was obtained from 26 healthy monozygotic twins (MZ) and three-dimensional renderings of the brains were generated. Similarity was rated by human investigators and by computer analysis. Three different image types were analyzed: whole-brain views, silhouettes and a bird's-eye view of a segment showing the central region. For each of the three image types, 13 tasks (identifying the related twin-pair out of a set of five brains) had to be solved by the human raters. For whole brain, views and silhouettes 66/91 (p < 0.005) and for segment views 44/91 (p < 0.02) correct identifications were made. Using cross correlation coefficients, the computer-based analysis as well significantly often identified related twins. Again correct identification was more likely based on whole-brain views and silhouettes than on segment views of the central region. In conclusion, we found that overall brain shape is probably strongly influenced by genetic effects but the variation in sulcal and gyral patterns is also affected by non-genetic influences to a considerable extent.

The treatment of cochleovestibular incidents after diving
No full textBackground. There has been a steady increase of recreational scuba divers in the last years. The majority of diving associated diseases involve otorhinolaryngology, the most important of which are cochleovestibular dysfunctions as these can lead to permanent inner ear failure. Material and methods. We discuss the origin and clinical symptoms, as well as the therapy, of both inner ear barotrauma and inner ear decompression illness. Our own experiences are considered together with a review of the literature from the last decade. Results. Inner ear decompression illness seems to be a relatively common diving associated incident and is not as rare as previously thought. Discussion. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the treatment of choice for patients with inner ear decompression sickness, but is contraindicated in patients with inner ear barotrauma. As long as an inner ear decompression illness can not be ruled out, we suggest that every patient should be treated using hyperbaric oxygen therapy but only after bilateral paracentesis
